Using Embedded Visuals to Enhance a Slide Show

Using Embedded Visuals

Problem proper graphic

3 Solutions:

1. Modify clip art from Microsoft Clip Gallery

2. Import charts in another application

3. Create own background using picture or clip art

Importing Outlines

Outline saved as in RTF format can be imported into PowerPoint

Outline can be created in Word or other word processing program

Advantage: text attributes and outline heading levels are maintained

text files - each paragraph becomes a slide title

Opening Outline PowerPoint
(2 Steps)

1. Tell PowerPoint to open an existing application

2. Select proper file type from the Files of type box in the Open dialog box

Plain Text Files

For plain text files (without formatting), PowerPoint uses the tabs at beginning of paragraphs to define outline structure

Imported outline can have up to 9 outline levels, PowerPoint uses 6. When importing an outline, levels 6-9 treated as outline level six

Inserting Picture
(Custom Background)

Picture - any graphic created in another application

2 Graphic formats of Pictures

1. Bitmap - series of dots (pixels)

2. Vector - series of lines (mathematical equations)

Bitmap Graphic

Pixel - picture element one dot in grid

created in in paint programs

scanner digitizes pictures converts lines and shading into 0’s and 1’s

raster images - scanned pictures

Note: bitmap files cannot be ungrouped into smaller object groups

Vector Graphic

Created by drawing program like CorelDRAW! (.wmf files Clip art)

Vector graphic files store data as picture descriptions or calculations

can be layered, rotated, and magnified

object-oriented pictures - vector graphics

PowerPoint's graphic filter converts various graphic formats

Embedding Excel Chart

Embedded object - becomes part of destination document

any changes to it in source application will not be reflected in the current application

Linked object - maintains a connection to the source application

any changes to it in source application will be reflected in the current application

linked objects must be moved with presentation to a new computer

Organization Chart

Manager box - located at top of chart

Subordinate boxes - boxes under the manager box (3 at start)

root manager - topmost manager box

created using the Organization Chart layout in AutoLayout menu

Adding Subordinate Boxes

Microsoft Organization Chart has five types of boxes

Each box type has a corresponding box tool on the window icon bar

To add a single box, click the Subordinate icon and click the box on the organization chart to which the subordinate reports

Resizing a Picture

Balance - slide possesses a harmonious, or satisfying, arrangement of proportions of its objects

Resizing about center - when object resized its proportions are maintained by resizing from its center point

hold down CTRL-key when dragging the sizing handles

Clip Art Object

Clip Art Picture - is composed of many objects grouped together to form one object

Disassembling (ungrouping) - separates one object into multiple objects

When you ungroup a clip art picture in PowerPoint, it becomes a PowerPoint object and loses its link to the Microsoft Clip Gallery

Before manipulating individual objects, you must deselect all selected objects to remove
