Frequently Asked Questions?
Why would I want to use PowerPoint instead of a traditional slideshow?
There are some benefits to creating a PowerPoint presentation. Once you
have your images scanned and saved you can view them anytime, anywhere--
you won’t need the use of slide projectors to check your presentation--just run
your PowerPoint show on any computer with PowerPoint software. You won’t
need to wait to have slides made and developed, and you can easily put images
from the web into your presentation. You can also mount your PowerPoint shows
on the web—just “save as Web page.”
PowerPoint also has some extra features that may or may not be relevant
to you and your students, for example, the ability to use animation, play a very
short digital movie clip, the ability to easily add text to a slide, and the ability to
create automatically updateable charts.
At the same time, using any type of digital method for your presentation
does require some extra time and forethought. ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR
FILES. Remember to plan ahead, and make sure that all the equipment you will
need is available. You don’t need to be afraid to give a digital presentation, but
you do have to plan accordingly.
What are all these other slide layout options?
Microsoft created a variety of prefab layouts for common slide set-ups, such as a
“Title” slide, a slide with a heading and a bulleted list, and a slide with a heading
and two columns of text. Many of these slides are not necessary in an arts
related presentation, so they are not covered here; however, you may find some
of them useful for conference talks, etc.
If I can only view one PowerPoint slide at a time, how do I view more
than one image at the same time?
You can insert multiple images into a slide. If you want to compare two art works
or two views of the same work, simply insert both pictures into the same slide.
Both images can be moved, adjusted and changed in size until they look good
together.
How do I delete a slide?
In the Slide Sorter View, select the slide you want to delete by clicking on it once.
A thick blue border will outline the slide, indicating that it is selected. From the
Edit menu select Delete Slide. Your selected slide will now be deleted. You can
undo the delete by selecting Undo from the Edit menu.
Won’t my images look fuzzy or pixilated when the projector enlarges
them?
Actually, what you see on your screen (in slide show mode) is what you will get in
your digital projection. As long as the image looks good on your screen, it will
look good projected. Bear in mind that there is a color shift with most projectors
