Learning Activities
To Read:

Application and App Navigation

In order to appreciate or make or even use a slide presentation, one
must necessarily know how to go about at the application’s desktop.
Basically, it is the loading, navigation, saving and exiting the application
that essentially matters for the crash course on Slide Show. So, let us
discuss it in detail one after the other. There may be some other approaches
to the procedure but for the sake of this discussion, this teacher uses the
most convenient way for a beginner learner. For learners’ information, this
module uses PowerPoint® at MS® Office Plus 2016.

Loading the application

From the system’s desktop, we are to load the application thru the
following steps:
1. Click Start button and wait for the Start menu to appear
2. Locate PowerPoint® at the Start menu and click
3. Wait for the application to load
4. Click Blank Presentation and the application will open the
PowerPoint® desktop ready for you to work on

Navigating the PowerPoint desktop

The presence of the computer is for the encoder to perform in swift

and easy way the difficult and cumbersome task such as slide-making.
PowerPoint® desktop is just like any of the MS® Office apps; see Fig. 16b1
below, it is consists of the dashboard at the upper part, the slides display at
the left side margin, the slide edit work area at the right of slides display to
extreme right margin, and the status bar at the bottom margins of the
display.

What is the dashboard?

Dashboard. It the graphical summary of various pieces of important

information, typically used to give an overview of an application.

3. 4.

Fig. 16b2 PowerPoint® Dashboard. Follow the number 1. title bar 2. menu bar 3. tool buttons 4. buttons display area

The dashboard see Fig. 16b2 above is consists of the title bar, menu
bar and tool buttons display area. Title bar is the uppermost part of the
application desktop composed from the left of Quick Access Tool Bar,
application and file name in the middle and the window control buttons at
the right side.

What is the dashboard’s purpose?

The dashboard is there to be accessed during work on slide for

convenience. One would just simply click on the menu or button to perform
a particular action. It is suggested to memorize often used tool buttons
rather than memorizing the entire dashboard parts.

Title bar is used to identify the application employed and the name of
the file currently in manipulation. It accommodates the Quick Access Tool
Bar at its left end where buttons here can be added or removed by the user
depending on the necessity and convenience. This bar also serves as window
handle when in restore mode where you can move the window from one
place to another thru drag and drop.

Menu bar provides the menu tabs that serve as switch to open the
available actions and options. When the tab is clicked, the tool buttons for
the menu are displayed at the tool button display area. Greyed buttons,
options and menus are inapplicable for the time being. It requires taking
prior action to be a normal active desktop item that can be executed.
Example of this is Redo (↻), it is grey if nothing has been Undo (↺) first.

What is the slides preview column?

The area at the left of PowerPoint® desktop where numbered slides

appear in column, see also Fig. 16b1 above. This displays the thumbnail
view of each slides of the presentation being worked on. The area is
adjustable to increase or decrease thumbnail view according to user
convenience and necessity thru drag and drop. User can also perform slides
shuffling thru same drag and drop method here to accommodate desired
slide succession.

What is the work area?

The part of the desktop where the whole slide is displayed and can be
modified, see also Fig. 16b1 above. The area occupies the biggest share of
the desktop and accommodates all the editing actions including control and
playback for the presentation. During the presentation playback, the
desktop preview turns full screen to accommodate widest possible view of
the presentation in play.

What is the status bar?

Status bar can be found at the bottom margins of the desktop display,
see also Fig. 16b1 above. This is the part that displays information about a
file being edited or a program running.

Saving the file

Saving the file being worked on is simply the act of saving data to a
storage location selected by the user in which by default, to the hard drive.
Whenever one is working a task at a computer, it is but necessary to save
and often do it after the work was done. Saving the file is the natural thing
to do but doing it after the task was done is a mistake. The user has to save
the file the moment the work started for good reasons. First, loss of the work
happens when accidental power interruption occurs outside of the
AutoRecover time. Some application does not have AutoRecover feature.
Second, when saved at start, user can simply press the Ctrl+S key-
combination whenever pauses thereby provide security of work for the
efforts done.

How to save a new file

1. Click File menu

2. Choose Save option from the subsequent menu that will appear
3. Click Browse to specify the desired location to save your file
4. Type the desired filename at the File name: field
5. Click Save button to execute the action
6. Proceed on working the slides
How to save a file during the work

One cannot just rely on the AutoRecover for the security that work will
not be lost if ever power service interruption happens. So, the user can
perform shortcut key-combination Ctrl+S to save work anytime he pauses
for a break. This can also be done by clicking Save () button at the Quick
Access Tool Bar if the Save button is present there.

Exiting the application and shutdown

It is necessary to save the file worked on to finally secure and close

the session. The following steps will end up working on the PowerPoint®
application and exit.

1. Press Ctrl+S or equivalent Save () button at the Quick Access Tool Bar
to secure that file has really been saved.
2. Click the Close () button at the rightmost upper margin to close the
application window.
3. Click Start button
4. Choose Power
5. Select Shut Down
