Lesson 4 voc.

Theme

A PowerPoint theme includes a set of colors designed to work well together, a set of fonts (one for headings and one for body text), special effects that can be applied to objects such as pictures or shapes, and often a graphic background.

footer

A footer is text that repeats at the bottom of each slide in a presentation. Use a footer to record the slide title, company name, or other important information that you want the audience to keep in mind as they view the slides.

Action buttons

Actions can be applied to text or shapes such as action buttons.

layout masters

Each slide master has a set of layout masters that determine the number, type, and position of the placeholders on a particular type of slide. In Slide Master view, the layout masters are beneath the Slide Master, and slightly indented in the left pane to show that they are subordinate to it. Any changes you make to the placeholders on the Slide Master itself fl ow down to the layout masters. In this exercise, you change the layout for a particular layout master.

Font theme

Each theme supplies a combination of two fonts to be applied to headings and text. Collectively these two fonts are called a font theme.

Layouts

Slide layouts control the position of text and objects on a slide. Select a layout according to the content you need to add to it. If your current layout does not present information as you want it, you can change the layout.

Hyperlinks

You can set up hyperlinks (clickable shortcuts) on slides that allow you to jump to a specific slide in the presentation or to external content. Hyperlinks can be displayed as either text or a graphic.

slide master

The slide master for a presentation stores information on the current theme, layout of placeholders, bullet characters, and other formats that affect all slides in a presentation.

Sections

To organize a long presentation, you can create sections, which are dividers that group slides into logical clusters, as folders organize groups of related papers.

Actions

Use actions to perform tasks such as jumping to a new slide or starting a different program.

Header

a header to appear at the top of every page. A header is repeated text, much like a footer, except it appears at the top of each page. Headers do not appear onscreen in Slide Show view—only on printouts. You can also create footers for notes pages and handouts.
