MS Powerpoint Questions and Answers

Answer: D

Correct answer: It shows notes, a timer and the next slide on the speaker’s screen only

Presenter View uses two displays: the audience sees the slide alone, while the speaker sees the current slide, the next slide, the speaker notes, a timer and a clock. It also provides controls that are invisible to the audience - a pen and laser pointer, a way to black the screen, and a grid of all slides for jumping to any of them out of order, which is what makes it possible to answer a question by going straight to the relevant slide. It requires a second display, and PowerPoint enables it automatically when one is detected; it can be toggled from the Slide Show tab. On a single screen it can still be rehearsed by pressing Alt + F5. The feature that most changes how a talk is delivered is the preview of the next slide, since it removes the need to remember what is coming and lets the speaker lead into it naturally.

Answer: D

Correct answer: both a & b

A hyperlink is inserted from Insert > Hyperlink or with Ctrl + K - the same shortcut as in Word and Excel.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Are the same, except that in a list box the bullets are enabled

Both are simply frames that hold typed text, created and formatted in the same way; the only difference is that the list box has its bullet formatting switched on, so each paragraph is preceded by a bullet. A list can therefore be built in an ordinary text box just by turning bullets on, which is why the claim that it cannot be is wrong.

Answer: A

Correct answer: You can insert text boxes from drawing toolbar in PowerPoint

The Text Box tool on the Drawing toolbar adds a box anywhere on the slide, so text is not confined to the placeholders the layout provides.

Answer: C

Correct answer: The text box and text both are deleted

A text box is a single object, and its text is its content, so deleting the object removes both. Emptying the box without deleting it requires selecting the text instead.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Strikethrough

The Font dialog offers Underline, Shadow, Emboss, Superscript and Subscript. Strikethrough is not among them, which is what makes it the answer.

Answer: A

Correct answer: The original file that was inserted is not changed

An inserted picture is copied into the presentation, so cropping, recolouring or resizing it affects only that copy. The file on disk is untouched, whatever is done to the picture or when the file is saved.

Answer: C

Correct answer: you can insert pictures only

From File browses for an image file. Clip art comes from the gallery through the separate Clip Art command.

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: 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.
