PREFACE
Today’s society has been shaped by the rapid growth and development of
the information technology (IT) infrastructure. The prominence of IT in
society has created a dependence on an individual’s knowledge and
competence in IT areas. Although that dependence is growing, the human
right to education and information has yet to be extended to the IT area.
This has created a growing problem for both individuals without access to
IT education, as well as for society as a whole. Today, computer illiterate
people find themselves unable to fully participate in modern society, and
lose out on opportunities as a result. Those who lack IT education lack
opportunity itself, the main motivation for progress within a society.
In spite of the necessity and benefits of inclusive computer literacy

acknowledged by groups such as the European Commission, UNESCO, and
OECD, there are still many people with limited access to basic computer
education. Often these are persons with disabilities, persons with learning
difficulties, migrant workers, unemployed or persons that live in remote
(rural) areas where IT education is not accessible.
This handbook (combined with other materials published at the web site
www.ITdesk.info) represents our effort and contribution to the realization
and promotion of human rights to IT education and information. We hope
that this education will help in mastering basic computer skills and with
that hope, it is our desire that you learn as much in order to become an
active member of today’s IT society.
Sincerely yours,

PRESENTATION CONTENT
Guidelines for presentation content
To help make high quality, professional presentations, there are a few guidelines that should
be followed.
For fonts, it is recommended to use Sans Serif fonts (Verdana, Arial, etc.). These are highly
legible on the screen. The font size should be between 24-32.
For emphasis, use the visual resources such as images and graphs for summary and easier
understanding of topics.
Use short phrases arranged in a graphical or numerical list, instead of large blocks of text, to
keep slides from being too verbose. Remember the 6-6-6 rule:
 Up to 6 words per line.

 Up to 6 lines of text (points) per slide.
 No more than 6 consecutive slides with text.
Finally, it is recommended to use different titles for each slide. This allows for better
transparency and easier manipulation of the slides in the Outline tab and easier navigation
through the slide show.

14/43
Adding content to a slide
To begin, select the slide that you wish to add content to. The slide can be selected in the
slide/outline pane. Once the slide has been selected you may begin entering text. Many
slides will already contain text boxes for entering text. For example, title slides contain a text
box that says Click to add title.
It is likely that presentation development objects, such as text, pictures, or shapes, will need
to be manipulated. For example, you may want to copy or move an object to a different slide
or presentation. Please note that any object you would like to manipulate must be selected
first.
To perform the Cut/Copy/Paste operation on an object, select the desired object and right
click with the mouse. From the Quick menu choose Cut command (if you want to cut) or
Copy (if you want to copy). Finally, position the cursor in the position you want to paste the
object, right click the mouse and select Paste from the Quick menu. Recall that these
commands can be accessed using the following keyboard shortcuts:
 Ctrl + X - Cut
 Ctrl + C - Copy
 Ctrl + V – Paste
To delete the object, select it and press the keyboard keys Delete or Backspace. When
deleting text, the Delete key deletes the character to the right of the cursor; the Backspace
key deletes character to the left of the cursor.
Undo and Redo
The Undo and Redo functions are used whenever you wish to undo or redo the last
action. For example, if some text is accidentally deleted, or you make a change that you do
not like, using the Undo tool will return the document to its previous state. It is also useful
when we want to explore PowerPoint functions, as we can fearlessly try any function and
return the document to its previous state. It is a practical and frequently used function.
Undo is located in Quick Access Toolbar or can be accessed via the keyboard shortcut Ctrl +
Z.
The Redo function annuls the result of the Undo function. We can use it as many times as
we use Undo. Redo is also located in the Quick Access Toolbar or can be accessed via the
keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Y.
Format content
Text can be manipulated using commands found in Font group, located in the Home tab.
Remember, before applying any function or command, select the text you want to edit.

15/43
To change the font type click on the arrow in the Font box , and select from drop-
down menu one of the offered fonts. The same rule applies to the manipulation of the font
size---in the Font Size box click on the arrow and choose the number of the font size
you want to use.
Text can be displayed in: bold, italics or underline. These formatting tools are placed in the
Font group. They are activated by clicking on the following buttons:
- selected text is displayed in bold

- selected text is displayed in italic
- selected text is displayed underlined
- selected to apply shadow effect to the text
By pressing the icon in the lower

right corner of the Font group, you can
access the Font dialog box, which
displays additional formatting options
(see Fig 22).
Fig.22. Font dialogue box
Text color can be changed by clicking on the icon, located

in the Font group. Clicking on the arrow next to the icon,
opens the Theme Colors palette menu (see Fig 23). Notice,
pressing “arrows” on toolbars in PowerPoint almost always
gives us additional options!
Fig.23. Color palette for choosing font color
We can Change case by clicking the icon icon, again located in the Font group. To
change the text to capital letters, select the UPPERCASE option. To change the text to
lowercase, choose the lowercase option.
To align text, you can use the icons in the Paragraph group placed on the Home tab:
– Align Text Left
– Center text

16/43
– Align Text Right
– Justify text
Format Painter
The Format Painter tool, located in the Clipboard group on the Home tab, can be used to
copy text format from one set of text to another. The Format Painter is a great shortcut tool
as it will apply the selected texts color, size, case and any other formatting options to
another set of text without the need to set each option individually.
To use Format Painter, first highlight the text to be formatted. Next, click the Format Painter
tool and highlight the text the formatting should be applied to.
WORKING WITH THE BULLETED AND NUMBERED LISTS
We might use lists for various list creation and enumeration needs throughout the
presentation. Lists can be set to display numbers, letters, bullets or images as delineators.
Icons for these various list options are located in the Paragraph group on the Home tab.
To select a bullet shape to be used for a list, press the arrow

next to the icon and select one of the offered bullet
shapes (see Fig 24).
Fig.24. Menu with different shaped bullets
To display the list items numerically, press the arrow next to
the icon and select from the offered formats (see Fig 25).
Replace bullet with a picture
Press the arrow next to the icon and select the

Bullets and Numbering option. Click on Picture and select
from the stored pictures. You can import pictures by
clicking the Import button and adding to the existing
picture list in the dialogue box. Once a picture is imported,

Size field enter a percentage or, adjust it by clicking the up or down arrows.
Change the level of the listed items
Text entered in PowerPoint can be formatted as lists. Often, it is necessary to change the
level of a list or portion of a list. We can increase or decrease the level of one list item or the
entire list.
To do this, first select the list item or the entire

list. Then choose either the Increase List Level
tool or Decrease List Level tool
Pressing the button in the Paragraph group

within the Home tab, opens the Paragraph
dialogue box with additional options. For
example, on the Spacing tab, you can enter
values to set spacing Before and After
paragraphs (see Fig 26).

PRESENTATION OUTPUTS
Slide Transition
Slide Transition provides different options when making the transition from one slide to the
next during a presentation. Before you assign a transition effect, the slide must be marked.
Mark the slide by clicking on the thumbnail of the slide. Then, on the Transition to this Slide
found within the Transition tab, choose one of the listed effects (see Fig 61).
Fig. 61 Transition to This Slide group
The Timing group allows you to set additional transition effects (see Fig 62):
 Sound – Choose a soundtrack to accompany the transition.

You can use Preview icon to preview the slide transition effects.
Animation effects
Animation effects are similar to the slide transition effects, but they apply only to objects
within the slide, not between slides. Animation effects determine the manner in which
objects, such as tables, graphs, or images, appear on the slide. Before adding animations to
objects using the Animation group, the object must be selected from the animation group
(see Fig 63).

group found under Design. Click on the Page Setup icon . In the Page Setup dialog box
select the appropriate show format from the Slides sized for option.
Hide and unhide slides
PowerPoint includes the option to hide or unhide slides within the presentation. This can be
useful when the presenter is unsure about displaying a slide. Rather than deleting the slide,
it can be hidden and will not be displayed. In this way, the slide can easily be unhidden at a
later time.
To hide a slide, right click on the slide within the slide pane and choose Hide slide. To unhide
a slide, do the same procedure, but this time choose Unhide slide.
* Hidden slides are marked by a crossed out number.
