MS Powerpoint Questions and Answers

Answer: C

Correct answer: Notes

The left panel of the PowerPoint window offers the Outline and Slides tabs. Speaker notes appear in the pane below the slide, not as a tab beside it.

Answer: B

Correct answer: slide transition

The effect that plays as one slide gives way to the next - a fade, a wipe, a dissolve - is the slide transition. Animation, custom animation and preset animation all describe movement of objects within a slide, not the change between slides.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Format, Replace Fonts

Format → Replace Fonts asks which font to replace and what to replace it with, then makes the substitution everywhere in the presentation at once - slides, masters and all. Neither the Edit nor the Tools menu has such a command.

Answer: D

Correct answer: both a & b

F5 starts the show from the first slide, and Slide Show > View Show does the same from the menu. Rehearse Timings runs the show but for the purpose of recording how long each slide is displayed.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Slide sorter view

In Slide Sorter view the whole presentation is visible as thumbnails, so you can click exactly where the new slide belongs before inserting it and see immediately how it sits among its neighbours. The other views show a single slide at a time, which makes placement harder to judge; “special view” does not exist.

Answer: C

Correct answer: an object on a slide, controlling how it appears or moves

An animation is applied to an object on a slide - text, an image, a chart, a shape - and controls how it behaves while that slide is displayed. The four kinds are worth distinguishing. Entrance effects bring an object onto the slide; emphasis effects draw attention to one already present; exit effects remove it; and motion paths move it along a defined route. The Animation Pane lists every effect on the slide in order and is where sequence and timing are controlled: each effect can start On Click, With Previous or After Previous, and can be given a duration and a delay. Building a list one point at a time is the commonest use. The contrast with a transition is the point examined: a transition governs the move between slides, an animation governs an object within one. The Animation Painter copies a set of effects from one object to another.

Answer: D

Correct answer: b and c

The organization chart object is placed by the presentation design, which fixes its default size - but that size is not locked: you can drag its handles to resize it, and it also grows or shrinks with the amount of text the chart holds. So both the “determined by the design but can be changed” statement and the “dependent on the amount of text” statement are true, which is why the combined choice is right and the “cannot be changed” option is wrong.

Answer: C

Correct answer: transitions

The effects that introduce each slide are transitions; animations apply to the objects on a slide once it is displayed.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Slide Transition

The effect played when one slide replaces another is a transition. Animations apply to objects within a slide.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Insert, New slide

A slide is added to an open presentation from the Insert menu, choosing New Slide (Ctrl + M). File → New starts a whole new presentation and File → Open loads an existing one; the File menu has no add a new slide command.
