MS Powerpoint Questions and Answers

Answer: B

Correct answer: Is determined by the presentation design but can be changed

The table placeholder is positioned and sized by the presentation design, so a new table arrives at a standard size - but that is only a starting point: dragging its handles resizes it and dragging the gridlines changes individual columns and rows. So it is neither fixed nor governed purely by the amount of text.

Answer: D

Correct answer: B and c

The organization chart placeholder is sized by the presentation design, but that size can be changed by dragging its handles, and the chart also grows or shrinks with the amount of text its boxes hold. Both statements are true together, which is why the combined option is right and the “cannot be changed” statement is wrong.

Answer: C

Correct answer: 400%

The Zoom box on the Standard toolbar - and View → Zoom - accepts values from 10% up to 400%. Magnifying to four times actual size is enough to position small objects precisely; anything beyond that is not offered.

Answer: A

Correct answer: 3

PowerPoint 2000 replaced the older set with three views: Normal (the slide, the outline and the notes pane together), Slide Sorter and Slide Show. The outline and slide panes that used to be separate views became parts of Normal view.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Show bullet items as they are discussed

A preset animation applied to a body placeholder brings the bullet points onto the slide one at a time, so each appears as the speaker reaches it and the audience is not reading ahead. Clip art is inserted from the Clip Gallery, and the effect between slides is a transition rather than an animation.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Setting slide times

Give each slide an advance time - typed into the Slide Transition pane or recorded with Rehearse Timings - and the show moves on by itself when that time expires, with no click needed. Build effects and transitions govern how things appear, not when the slide changes.

Answer: D

Correct answer: All of the above

An animation scheme is applied to whatever is selected when you click it: the slide on screen, a group of slides picked out in the slides pane, or every slide at once using the Apply to All Slides button in the Slide Design task pane. All three scopes are supported.

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: All of above

The Common Tasks button collects the three things done most often when building a deck: applying a design template, inserting a new slide, and choosing a different slide layout. All three sit on the same menu, so the combined option is correct.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Template

A template is a file of ready-made formatting - colour scheme, fonts, background, masters and placeholder positions - that a new presentation can be based on, so the styles need not be built each time. A wizard asks questions and generates content; “auto style” and “pre-formatting” are not PowerPoint terms.
