MS Powerpoint Questions and Answers

Answer: D

Correct answer: Animations

Slide layouts are composed of placeholders - titles, lists, charts, tables, media. Animation is applied to objects afterwards and is not part of a layout.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Shift + Click each slide

In Slide Sorter view, click the first slide and then Shift + click the others to extend the selection (Shift + click on the last slide of a run picks up everything between). Alt + click does nothing here, and dragging with Shift moves slides rather than selecting them.

Answer: D

Correct answer: a presentation design template

A design template fixes the background, colour scheme, fonts and placeholder positions for the whole presentation, so every slide inherits the same look. A slide layout only arranges the placeholders on one slide, adding a slide creates a slide, and Outline view shows text without affecting appearance.

Answer: A

Correct answer: In the print dialog box, select handout and set the number of slides per page to 3

In the Print dialog, choose Handouts under “Print what” and set 3 slides per page. That layout alone places the thumbnails down the left of the page and prints ruled lines beside each one for the audience to write on. The 2-, 4-, 6- and 9-slide layouts give thumbnails with no lines, and Notes Pages print the speaker’s own notes instead.

Answer: C

Correct answer: It controls the layout, fonts and colours of every slide based on it

The Slide Master holds the design that every slide inherits - background, fonts, colours, placeholder positions, bullet styles, and any logo or element to appear throughout. Changing it changes every slide at once. That central control is its whole point. Formatting fifty slides by hand gives fifty independent settings that drift apart; editing the master gives one. Beneath the master sit layouts - Title Slide, Title and Content, Two Content, Blank and others - each of which can be customised separately, and each slide uses one of them. A deck may also contain several masters, which is how two visual styles are combined in one file. It is reached from View, then Slide Master, and closed with Close Master View. The Handout Master and Notes Master control the printed forms in the same way. Working through the master rather than slide by slide is the single biggest saving of effort in PowerPoint.

Answer: A

Correct answer: b and c

Clicking an object selects it, and PowerPoint shows this in two ways at once: a frame appears around the object, and eight sizing handles - one at each corner and each side midpoint - appear on that frame for resizing. Since both signs are present, the option naming both is correct; the object itself is not highlighted the way selected text is.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Are the same, except that in a list box the bullets are enabled

Both are simply frames that hold typed text, and both are created and formatted the same way; the only difference is that the list box has its bullet formatting switched on, so each paragraph is preceded by a bullet. A list can therefore be built in an ordinary text box just by turning bullets on, which is why the claim that they cannot be is wrong.

Answer: D

Correct answer: All of the above

Every box in an organization chart can be selected in any of the three ways: Edit → Select All, right-clicking the chart background and choosing Select All, or holding Shift while clicking each box in turn. All three end with the whole chart selected.

Answer: A

Correct answer: 4

The Slide Layout pane's Text Layouts section holds four: title only, title and text, title and two-column text, and the blank title slide.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Opens a shortcut menu listing for the object

The right button is the context button: right-clicking an object raises a shortcut menu of the commands that apply to that particular object - cut, copy, formatting, ordering, grouping. It neither deletes the object nor is it idle in PowerPoint.
