MS Powerpoint Questions and Answers

Answer: D

Correct answer: Audience handout

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

Answer: B

Correct answer: Templates

A design that fixes the colour scheme, fonts, background and placeholder positions for a whole presentation is a template (a design template, saved with a .pot extension in the classic versions). Placeholders are the individual boxes on a slide; “design plates” and “blueprints” are not PowerPoint terms.

Answer: D

Correct answer: a presentation design template

A design template sets the fonts, colours, background and layout for the whole presentation at once, so every slide follows the same appearance.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Flip

Flip mirrors the picture about its vertical or horizontal axis, so a figure that faced left now faces right - the direction of the face is reversed. Rotate turns the image about its centre, which tilts or inverts it without mirroring it, and Group only binds several objects together so they move as one.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Insert a new text box and select Insert >> slide Number

The slide number is a field, and a field must sit in a text box or placeholder. So a box is created first and the number inserted into it; the number then updates as slides are added or reordered.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Microsoft online

The animated GIFs supplied for PowerPoint come from the online clip collection - the Clips Online link in the Clip Art task pane, which opens Microsoft’s Design Gallery Live. The clip art installed with Word holds still images only, and there is no “PowerPoint tools and ins” gallery.

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: Click the toolbar’s Increase Font Size button

With the title selected, the Increase Font Size button on the Formatting toolbar steps the type up through the standard sizes at one click each. The Font drop-down changes which typeface is used, not how large it is, and there is no Format → Title command in PowerPoint.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Notes

The left panel of the PowerPoint window offers the Outline and Slides tabs. Speaker notes appear in the pane below the slide, not as a tab beside it.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Click Insert, Slides from Outline

Insert → Slides from Outline reads a Word document and turns its heading levels into slides: each Heading 1 becomes a slide title and the lower headings become the bullet levels beneath it. There is no Import menu in PowerPoint, and the New Presentation pane has no Word-headings entry.
