Clicking the right directional arrow merges and indents the credits with the title slide. This indenting is called “Demoting.” Doing the reverse will “Promote” or decrease an indent until a new slide is created. Start a new slide (Slide two). Promote if necessary.

20. Animations Actions for Pictures and Text Pictures and words can move and make noise during a display or on a mouse click. Right click the clip art and select Custom Animation. A) Click the down arrow to select a movement that enhances the presentation. Click the preview button to evaluate the effect. B) Select a sound to go with the movement. Generally, using few is recommended. Or, use this instead of movement for purposes of verbal identification of a word or symbol. C) For text manipulation only.

21. Timing is Everything Click the Timing tab This effects when and order that animations occur. A) Animation Order Animated objects are listed here. The up and down arrows monitor order of effects. B) Any objects not yet animated may be selected from here. C) I prefer animations to occur automatically, rather wait for a mouse click. Especially student projects. Generally, more than zero seconds is too long of a wait for a project. Live presentations differ from these points. Sample Lesson Sample Poem PowerPoint Basics Note: Slide Show, under the view menu, demos (or runs) presentations.

22. Animating Sounds It is good to use animation order for sounds, otherwise the horn must be clicked for the sound to occur, which is useful for foreign language and ESL classes where one could click the word and listen to the pronunciation. Check “Play using animation order. The two options are self- explanatory. I prefer “Continue slide show” so that object fly in while the voice recording or noise takes place. “Stop playing” determines how long the recording will go. This usually factors for music. Remember to set-up timing under the Timing tab. Sample Lesson Sample Poem PowerPoint Basics Note: Slide Show, under the view menu, demos (or runs) presentations.

23. AutoPlay Student projects should run completely through without needing a mouse click. This requires that all animation are set for automatically, and that the slide show is rehearsed. To do the second step, under the Slide Show menu select Rehearse Timing. The slide show begins on the first slide, with this timing box present. Sample Lesson Sample Poem PowerPoint Basics Note: Slide Show, under the view menu, demos (or runs) presentations.

24. Repeat retimes the slide. The box pauses and continues the timing. The arrow is used to move on to the next slide. Generally click the arrow when the amount of time need for the slide has been reached. Clicking the arrow on the last slide will save the timing. You can then select Slide Show from the View menu to watch the presentation. Sample Lesson Sample Poem PowerPoint Basics Note: Slide Show, under the view menu, demos (or runs) presentations.

25. List of Other Functions Slide Sorter View Use this to see all slides at once, and to click and drag slides to different spots in the order.
