MS Powerpoint Questions and Answers

Q: The term used when you press and hold the left mouse key and move the mouse around the slide is called ?

Correct answer: DraggingPressing the left button, moving the mouse and then releasing it is called dragging. What it achieves depends on where the drag begins: on an object it moves it, on a sizing handle it resizes it, on blank slide area it sweeps out a selection rectangle. Moving and selecting are outcomes of a drag, not names for the action.

Q: PowerPoint presentations are widely used as

Correct answer: All of abovePowerPoint is used for all three: outlines for teaching, student project presentations, and the communication of plans in an organisation.

Q: What are the three options available in Insert >> Picture menu?

Correct answer: Clipart, From Files, AutoShapesInsert > Picture offers Clip Art, From File and AutoShapes, along with organisation chart and WordArt in some versions.

Q: Which command brings you to the first slide in your presentation?

Correct answer: Ctrl + HomeCtrl + 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.

Q: In MS PowerPoint, which shortcut inserts a new slide?

Correct answer: Ctrl + MCtrl + M inserts a new slide after the current one, using the same layout unless the previous slide was a title slide, in which case it uses Title and Content. The distractors are all real shortcuts doing something else, and the confusion between them is what the question tests. Ctrl + N creates a new presentation, not a new slide. Ctrl + S saves. Ctrl + D duplicates the selected slide, which is often what is actually wanted when a slide is to be built on the last one. The related shortcuts complete the set: Ctrl + Shift + D also duplicates, Delete removes a selected slide in the thumbnail pane, and Ctrl + Z undoes. Choosing the layout explicitly is done from the New Slide dropdown rather than the shortcut, and it is worth doing - picking the right layout at the start saves rearranging placeholders afterwards.

Q: Objects on the slide that hold text are called

Correct answer: PlaceholdersThe dotted boxes a layout supplies for a title, bulleted text, a chart or a table are called placeholders. They reserve the position and formatting; clicking one and typing fills it. “Auto layouts” are the arrangements of placeholders, not the boxes themselves.

Q: which of the following should you use if you want all the slides in the presentation to have the same look?

Correct answer: a presentation design templateA design template sets the fonts, colours, background and layout for the whole presentation at once, so every slide follows the same appearance.

Q: Which of the following can you use to add times to the slides in a presentation

Correct answer: Rehearse timing buttonSlide Show → Rehearse Timings runs the presentation with a timer visible; the time you spend on each slide is recorded and saved as that slide’s advance time, so the show can then run unattended. The Slide Transition pane can hold a figure typed by hand, but the command that records the timings is Rehearse Timings.

One way to make a PowerPoint slide display animations is to:

A.Select the slide in normal view; and click Format, Animation
B.Click the PowerPoint window and move it around vigorously with the mouse for a manual animation effect
C.Select the slide in slide sorter view, right click and choose preset animations from the shortcut menu
D.PowerPoint does not have an animation feature

Answer: C

Correct answer: Select the slide in slide sorter view, right click and choose preset animations from the shortcut menu

In Slide Sorter view, right-clicking a slide raises a shortcut menu that includes Preset Animation, so an effect can be applied to the selected slides without opening any dialog. There is no Format → Animation command, and PowerPoint certainly does have animation.

In MS PowerPoint, which shortcut inserts a new slide?

A.Ctrl + M
B.Ctrl + N
C.Ctrl + S
D.Ctrl + D

Answer: A

Correct answer: Ctrl + M

Ctrl + M inserts a new slide after the current one, using the same layout unless the previous slide was a title slide, in which case it uses Title and Content. The distractors are all real shortcuts doing something else, and the confusion between them is what the question tests. Ctrl + N creates a new presentation, not a new slide. Ctrl + S saves. Ctrl + D duplicates the selected slide, which is often what is actually wanted when a slide is to be built on the last one.

Which of the following is not a feature of PowerPoint?

A.Printing transparencies
B.Printing the speaker’s notes along with slide images
C.Linking a slide transition with a laser pointer
D.Drawing with a pen

Answer: C

Correct answer: Linking a slide transition with a laser pointer

PowerPoint prints transparencies, prints speaker notes alongside slide images, and lets the presenter annotate a running show with the pen. There is no facility for tying a slide transition to a laser pointer, so that is the one thing on the list PowerPoint cannot do.
