MS Powerpoint Questions and Answers

Answer: C

Correct answer: Second level

An organization chart is read downwards from the person at the top. The president occupies the first level, so the vice presidents who report to the president sit on the second, with managers on the third and supervisors on the fourth.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Esc key

Pressing Esc ends the slide show and returns to the editing view, so it is the one key listed that does not move you forward. The spacebar, the Enter key and a click of the mouse all advance to the next slide or next animation.

Answer: C

Correct answer: double click the applications control menu icon

Double-clicking the control menu icon at the top left of the application window closes the application, as Alt + F4 does. The document close button and the minimize button leave PowerPoint running.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Slide transitions

A transition applied while the slide master is displayed is inherited by every slide built on that master, so the transition is one presentation element the slide master can set. Comments belong to individual slides and are never formatted by a master, and the font and colour of speaker notes are governed by the notes master, so “all of above” overstates the case.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Slides

In the Print dialog the Slides option accepts a range typed by hand, and non-adjacent slides are entered as a comma-separated list - here 5,12. Current slide prints only the slide on screen, and a custom show would have to have been defined beforehand.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Insert

Pictures, text boxes, charts, tables, diagrams and movies are all things added to a slide, so they are on the Insert menu.

Answer: D

Correct answer: A named subset of slides from the presentation, shown as a separate sequence

A Custom Show is a named selection of slides from a presentation, played in an order you define, without the slides being deleted or reordered in the file itself. It solves a practical problem: the same deck must be given as a ten-minute overview to one audience and a forty-minute account to another. Rather than keeping two files that drift apart, one file holds every slide and two custom shows draw on it. It is created from the Slide Show tab under Custom Slide Show, and a show can be started from there or linked to with a hyperlink - which allows a menu slide offering several routes through the same material. A slide may appear in several custom shows, and its content is stored once. The related tools serve different purposes: Hide Slide skips individual slides in the main sequence, and Sections group slides for editing rather than for presenting.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Common tasks toolbar

The Common Tasks toolbar changes its contents with the view, so in Slide Master, Title Master, Handout Master and Notes Master view it offers the commands that belong to that master. The Standard, Formatting and Drawing toolbars keep the same buttons whichever view is on screen.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Select the text and press the delete button

Delete simply removes the selection; nothing is placed on the Clipboard, so there is nothing to paste back. Cutting means removing and copying to the Clipboard, which is what Ctrl + X, the Cut button and Edit → Cut all do.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Menu bar, standard toolbar, formatting toolbar, drawing toolbar, status bar

A fresh PowerPoint window shows the menu bar at the top, the Standard and Formatting toolbars beneath it, the Drawing toolbar along the bottom and the status bar below that. The other choices each leave out one of these five.
