MS Powerpoint Questions and Answers

Answer: C

Correct answer: Draw custom path

Under Custom Animation, choosing Motion Paths → Draw Custom Path opens the four drawing tools: Line, Curve, Freeform and Scribble. Each lets you trace the route an object travels across the slide. Insert motion path only offers the ready-made paths, and there is no Create effect command.

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.

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: B

Correct answer: Landscape

PowerPoint slides default to landscape - wider than they are tall (10 × 7.5 inches on the classic 4:3 setting) - because that matches the shape of a projector screen. Portrait is available under File → Page Setup but must be chosen deliberately.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Loop continuously

Slide Show → Set Up Show carries the check box Loop continuously until ‘Esc’. With it ticked the album restarts at slide 1 as soon as the last slide finishes, which is what an unattended display needs. Random transitions only vary the effect between slides, and an online broadcast streams the show to remote viewers.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Layout of audience handout notes

The handout master controls how printed handouts are arranged - how many slide thumbnails appear per page, where they sit, and the header, footer, date and page-number placeholders. It does not touch slide formatting, which belongs to the slide master, nor the Word export formatting.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Text tool box

Every layout supplies placeholders for a title and body text. To put text anywhere else - a caption beside a picture, a label on a diagram - you draw a text box and type into it. The line, drawing and AutoShape tools create shapes; text can be attached to a shape afterwards, but only the text box exists purely to hold text.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Modify the text within the body placeholder

Notes Master view shows the notes body as a placeholder. Selecting the text inside that placeholder and changing its font size resets the size for the notes of every slide at once. Changing the slide design affects slides, not notes, and moving the placeholder around alters the layout without touching the type size.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Slide master

Anything placed on the slide master - a logo, a rule, a background graphic - is inherited by every slide that uses that master, in the same position, automatically. The handout and notes masters affect only printed handouts and notes pages, so a logo added there never appears on screen.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Slide sorter view

Slide Sorter view shows all the slides as thumbnails and puts the transition controls on its toolbar, so you can select every slide, apply one transition and see the effect indicator appear under each. Slide view shows one slide at a time, Outline view shows only text, and Notes Pages view is for speaker notes.
