MS Powerpoint Questions and Answers

Answer: D

Correct answer: Audience handout

Handouts print miniature slide images, and the 3-slides-per-page layout places ruled lines beside each thumbnail so the audience can take notes as they listen. Notes pages carry the speaker’s notes rather than blank lines, and Outline view prints text only.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Ctrl + Home

Ctrl + Home jumps to the beginning of the presentation, and Ctrl + End to the last slide. Page Up and the Previous Slide button move back only one slide at a time.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Right click, point to go on the shortcut menu, point to by title, and click the slide you want to go to

Right-clicking during a running show raises its shortcut menu; Go → By Title lists every slide by name, and clicking one jumps straight there without leaving the show. Pressing Esc would end the show, and Backspace steps back one slide at a time.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Press the shift + tab keys

Tab demotes a bullet to the next level down; Shift + Tab promotes it back up. Enter starts a new bullet at the current level, and Shift alone does nothing to the outline level.

Answer: D

Correct answer: All of above

Design is not decoration: a clear, consistent layout makes the slides legible from the back of the room, shapes the first impression the audience forms in the opening seconds, and lends the speaker credibility by suggesting the material has been prepared with care. Since all three follow from good design, the combined option is correct.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Select the slide thumbnails in that section and apply a different design template

PowerPoint supports more than one design template in a presentation: select just those slides in the Slide Sorter or the slides pane, then click the template in the Slide Design pane - it is applied to the selection alone. A different colour scheme would change the colours but keep the original layout and fonts, and the Format Painter copies formatting object by object rather than applying a template.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Use the Pack and Go wizard

Pack and Go bundles the presentation with its linked files, the fonts it uses and the PowerPoint Viewer, so the show runs on a machine that has no copy of PowerPoint installed. Saving as a web page loses effects and fidelity, and kiosk mode only changes how the show behaves once PowerPoint is already running.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Slide sorter view

Slide Sorter view reduces every slide to a thumbnail and tiles them across the window, so slides can be re-ordered, duplicated, deleted and given transitions. Slide Show projects one slide full screen, Outline view shows text only, and Notes Page view shows one slide with its notes.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Outline view

Outline view strips the slides down to their text - titles at the left margin, bullet levels indented beneath - so the argument of the deck can be written and re-ordered without any graphics in the way. Pictures, charts and drawn objects do not appear there.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Audience handouts

Handouts are the printed form of a presentation given to the audience - several slide thumbnails to a page. An outline prints the text alone and speaker notes are for the presenter, so neither is the copy handed out.
