Laboratory Exercise 3 – Inserting Objects Office Productivity Tools 2 Laboratory Exercise # 3 Inserting Objects Objectives: At the end of the exercise, the students are expected to be able to: Insert graphics, clip arts, or image files to a presentation. Use drawing tools. Create charts and tables. Materials: 3 ½ floppy disk Note: All exercises should be saved in your data disk and must be submitted to your instructor after every laboratory session. Files to be used: Activity4xxx.ppt ppt-banner.jpg powerpoint.jpg micron pens.jpg WM Icon.gif Basic Information: The Drawing Toolbar The Drawing toolbar lets you create and draw objects such as a company logo that includes basic shapes, and lets you insert pictures and images that would make your presentation more appealing and aesthetically pleasing. You can view the drawing toolbar at the bottom of the Excel screen. However, if you cannot see the drawing toolbar, simply access the View button > Toolbar > Drawing to turn on the Drawing toolbar. All the drawing toolbar in all the MS Office Application contains the same buttons. Draw Basic Shapes To draw a shape, you can click the Rectangle button or the Ellipse button on the Drawing toolbar then drag the pointer across the slide pane to draw a shape. You can choose the line width and color for your shape. If you want to resize your object, sizing handles appear at the corners and along the edges of the shape. You can resize an object by dragging its sizing handles. You first select the object then drag a sizing handle until the object is the shape and size you want. You can press the key while you drag the sizing handle to resize the object proportionally from a corner. To delete the object you created, you may press the key after you have selected the object you want to delete.

The Clip Art Gallery is a collection of art graphics that is used to make presentations more visually attractive. Pictures in the gallery are arranged in categories, such as animals, business, or education, meeting your needs in finding a graphic easy. There are several ways in using the Clip Art Gallery: Click on the Insert Clip Art icon from a placeholder – this will then open the Select Picture dialog box from which you can search the picture you want. Click on the Insert Clip Art button on the Drawing toolbar to open the clip art gallery on the task pane. Inserting a Picture You may want to change the appearance of a slide by adding a picture. For example, some corporations like to include their corporate logo on the worksheet. In addition, pictures are sometimes added to illustrate data contained in a slide. You can insert a clip art, a picture, or a scanned photograph, import from other programs and locations. If you installed Clip Gallery when you installed Microsoft Office, you can insert clip art in your presentation by clicking on the Insert menu > Picture > Clip Art option. If you want to insert a picture from file, click the Insert menu > Picture > From File option. Locate the folder that contains the picture you want to insert. You can double-click the picture or select the file then click Insert button. Editing a Picture Once a picture has been inserted, you may move it or edit it to fit your needs. Many of the edit functions are contained on the Picture toolbar which can be displayed by right-clicking on the toolbar and selecting Picture. The following table shows you the editing activities you want for your picture:

Laboratory Exercise 3 – Inserting Objects Office Productivity Tools 2 However, you cannot crop or change the fill, border, shadow, or transparency of an animated GIF picture by using the Picture toolbar. Make these changes in an animated GIF editing program, and then insert the file in the presentation again. GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. Originally developed by CompuServe, GIF is a graphic file format designed to take up a minimum of disk space and to be easily read and exchanged between systems. This format is commonly used for publishing images of 256 colors or less to the Internet. Using AutoShapes The AutoShapes menu on the Drawing toolbar includes several categories of tools. In the Lines category, you can use the Curve, Scribble, and Freeform tools to draw lines, curves, and shapes that combine lines and curves. An AutoShape is a group of ready-made shapes that include such basic shapes as rectangles and circles, plus a variety of lines and connectors, block arrows, flowchart symbols, stars and banners, and callouts. To insert autoshapes, on the Drawing toolbar, click Autoshapes, point to a category, and then click the shape you want. Simply drag it on the slide pane. Grouping and Ungrouping Objects As your drawing becomes more complex, you will find it necessary to “glue” objects together into groups. Grouping allows you to select all the shapes in the group and treat them as a whole object so that copying, duplicating, and moving the object becomes possible. You group objects to make it easier to move or resize all the objects at the same time instead of moving and resizing them one at a time. Rotating an Object You can modify an object by rotating it. The three rotating commands include the Rotate Right, Rotate Left, and the Free Rotate command. The Rotate Right command moves a graphic in 90-degree increments to the right. The Rotate Left command rotates the graphic in 90-degree increments to the left. The Free Rotate command lets you rotate a graphic to any angle. When you choose the Free Rotate command, the object becomes surrounded with green handles that you click and drag to rotate the object. You can rotate an object to any angle using the green rotating handle or rotate an object in 90-degree increments using the rotate commands from the Rotate or Flip menu. However, flipping an object means creating a vertical or horizontal mirror image of the object. Layering Objects Objects automatically stack in individual layers as you add them to a slide. You see the stacking order when objects overlap — the top object covers a portion of objects beneath it. If you “lose” an object in a stack, you can press to cycle forward (or to cycle backward) through the objects until it’s selected. You can move individual objects or groups of objects in a stack. For example, you can move objects up or down within a stack one layer at a time or you can move them to the top or bottom of a stack in one move. You can overlap objects when you draw to create different effects. You don’t have to draw the bottom object first — you can always move it later.

Laboratory Exercise 3 – Inserting Objects Office Productivity Tools 2 To adjust layers of shapes or objects, click on the shape or object. From the Draw button, select Order and choose from the available submenu. There are four layering commands you can use to change the order in which objects appear: Bring to Front places the selected object at the very top layer of the slide. All other objects appear behind the selected object. Send to Back places the selected object at the very bottom layer of the slide. All other objects appear in front of the selected object. Bring Forward places the selected object one layer up on the slide. Send Backward places the selected object one layer down on the slide. Aligning Objects Objects that are scattered on a slide can be aligned so that they are properly lined up or spaced equally apart. The Align command, which aligns objects relative to one another, is located under the Draw button on the Drawing toolbar. Select the objects you want to align. There are two ways in selecting objects: hold down the key as you click on each object; or click and drag the mouse cursor around the objects you want to select. From the Align or Distribute menu, select the alignment you want to apply. WordArt A WordArt is one of the effects you can easily apply to your plain text. It is a predefined artistic text effect, which is available in the WordArt Gallery. You can insert a WordArt object through the Insert menu or by clicking the Insert WordArt button on the Drawing toolbar. Select a WordArt style in the WordArt Gallery, then type and format the text in the Edit WordArt Text dialog box. A WordArt object, when inserted in a slide, comes with the WordArt toolbar, which is used to edit and modify the object. It has sizing and rotating handles, which you can use to resize and rotate the object. It also has adjustment handles, which is used to change the slant or slope of the object. Using 3-D Effects What does shadows and 3-D effects do? These effects give life to boring, one-dimensional objects. Applying a shadow effect to an object makes it appear as if the object were casting a shadow. You can add a 3-D effect to most lines, AutoShapes, and freeform drawing objects.The Shadow Settings toolbar from the Shadow command sets the length or placement of a shadow. A 3-D effect, however, turns a flat object into a dramatic three-dimensional object with depth and perspective. The 3-D Settings is also used to modify the 3- D object. With 3-D options, you can change the depth (the extrusion) of the object and its color, rotation, angle, direction of lighting, and surface texture. When you change the color of a 3-D effect, the change affects only the 3-D effect of the object, not the object itself. Using Shadows You can add shadows to AutoShapes - including text boxes - and you can change the size, direction, and color of shadows. When you change the color of a shadow, the change affects only the shadow, not the object itself. You can also add some types of shadows - an offset shadow, for example - to the borders of pictures. Creating a Slide with Charts Using a chart is a good opportunity for you to engage the audience in your topic. A chart in PowerPoint is also considered as an object. It can be the primary part of a slide (as in the Chart AutoLayout), or merely one of two or more parts of a slide (like the Text & Chart AutoLayout). Creating a Slide with Organizational Charts In a presentation, an organization chart can be used to show your audience where people fit in the corporate hierarchy. PowerPoint makes it easy for you to create or modify organization charts. The AutoLayout provides an option to create a slide with organizational charts. Choose this type of layout and you’re on your way to creating a simple organizational chart for your presentation.
