Using PowerPoint
Feature #1: The comment box
With PowerPoint, you
can insert a comment
box, just like Excel!
Just choose Comment from the
Insert menu, type some text,
and put it wherever you like!
However, the comment box in
PowerPoint doesn’t appear and
hide like it does in Excel. But
you are able to connect it with
something...
Feature #2: Action Settings
With PowerPoint, you can connect
anything with a specific action (not
just the comment box!).
For example, you can hyperlink to
the next slide with the click of the
mouse (click here!)
This message is unimportant…
just testing to see if you clicked.
To do this magnificent feat,
simply put something onto
your slide. In this case, let’s
use a text box.
Now, just right-click with your
mouse inside the text box, and
select Action Settings from the
list.
The tabs at the top tell you whether
the action performed will require a
click of the mouse, or just the
movement of the mouse over the
text box.
You can select the kind of action
you want performed. For
example, you can Hyperlink to a
web page, Run a program, or
Play a sound!
Feature #3: Shadows
To create a shadow, simply
highlight the text, and click
on the S icon located next to
the icon for Underlining.
This is shadowing.
