Lesson 5
Presentation Applications
5.1 Usefulness of Electronic Presentation Materials [5 min]
Electronic Presentation materials provide a guide line to the presenter on his/her speech.
If you can create them with more graphics and animations to simplify the content of your
presentation then you’ll be able to grab their attention and entice them to your speech.
Further, a good presentation material posses qualities like; clarity, Simplicity, readability,
reusability, time manageability, availability and reusability of the presentation.
Reusability
A presenter can use same electronic presentation in different times in different speeches. If a
teacher uses some electronic presentation material for teaching, hard copies of that
presentation can be given to the students as handouts.
Time Manageability
Presentation materials help to the presenter to plan and manage the time. Presenter
can get ready for the presentation and can include necessary graphics animations and text
etc… Presenter doesn’t need to memorise all the contents of the presentation.
Easy to understand
Listeners can easily understand and enjoy the presentation because of text graphics,
and animations. Key words of the speech can be put in text while graphics and animations
simplify the meaning of text content.
Availability
Once the presentation material is created, listing the content in the order of the
speech the presenter will not miss any information that he hopes to present. He/she can add
notes and link other necessary information that he may need for his presentation. He/She can
recheck it before going to the presentation.
5.2 Design considerations for multimedia presentations [20 min]
How to design a presentation? How to select text, graphics, animations…etc

to your presentation? You should plan to present your content in slides. One slide should
carry the information relevant to one topic. If there are continuations from one slide to the
IT1303 ©UCSC 3
other then on the top of the continued slides you should clearly mention that the content on
that slide is a continuation of the previous.
Text:
Try to have less number of text lines on a slide and select simple words to express your
idea.
Font type should be relevant to the topic of the presentation and the audience. However,
try to select an easily readable font type.
Size of the font should also be increased to improve the readability of the text. If you
select the Arial font then the font size should be not less than 24.
The text colour should be an opposing colour to the background colour. For example
select dark colour of text on light colour backgrounds.
Graphics:
Graphics should add clarity to the information carrying on the slide. That is, graphics
must be matched with what you are explaining and the designer must think about the age,
level and the background of the listeners in selecting graphics. (Children/Elders)
Animations:
Animations help you to show the sequential order of some information or a process and
on the other hand the information can be easily passed to the audience with less explanation.
Colors:
Designer must consider about the audience before choosing the colors. You can use
multiple colors for kids but for the professional presentation you have to use less number of
colours and apply them wisely to show different categories of text. (Headings, list items,
paragraphs...etc)
Audio/Video:
Select appropriate audio and video to give more meaning to the presentation and keep
the audience happy. These clips should take only less play time. For an example in a one hour
presentation you can select 10 minutes video presentation.
5.3 Presentation Applications [5 min]
Impress from OpenOffice.org and PowerPoint from Microsoft office are two most popular
application software used to satisfy your need of creating presentation materials. Working
with Impress or PowerPoint to create a presentation and to show a presentation is easy and
enjoyable.
MS Office: Microsoft Office is the Office application package developed by the Microsoft
Cooperation. The application can currently be run only in Windows platforms.
IT1303 ©UCSC 4
Open Office.org: This is the most commonly used Open Source office application
package. This can be run in Linux environments as well as in Windows environments.
5.4 Getting started with MS PowerPoint [1 hrs]
5.4.1 Introduction to MS PowerPoint
Microsoft PowerPoint is the application software developed by Microsoft to

help you creating and presenting presentation materials. It is one of the most
heavily used and popular presentation applications. It helps you to create
presentations that have an impact in person or online. Pen Tools and the
Highlighter on slide show provide the facility to write or highlight the key areas on
the slide during the presentation. You can play audio, video and add impact to
your presentations using images, sounds, photos, and animations.
5.4.2 Starting MS PowerPoint
You can start MS PowerPoint from Start > All Programs > Microsoft Office >
Microsoft PowerPoint 2003. The program starts with a flash screen showing the
product information of the application program and next you’ll see a window with
lots of buttons, options and task panes.
5.4.3 Working environment: Menus, Toolbars, Task Panes, Views, Rulers,

Grid and Guides…etc
Working environment is dividing in to two categories as windows elements

and environment settings.
Windows Elements:
MS PowerPoint working environment is with full of Menus, Toolbars, Task

Panes, and Windows which help you to create a presentation to your taste and
need. On the top of the Window you can see the title bar carrying the name of
the application and just below that you can see the Menu Bar. Menu Bar consists
of menu options and if you click on one menu option that lists down the sub
menu options in a drop down menu. Below the Menu Bar you can see the Tool
Bars with lots of commands. Usually, a task pane takes space on the right hand
side of the Window.
Environment Settings:
MS PowerPoint allows you to customize your working environment as you

want. You can show or hide toolbars or task pane, customize the commands on
toolbars, display or hide Rulers or Grids and Guides. When you open the
IT1303 ©UCSC 5
application for the first time it shows only one slide at a time. But if you scroll
down the window you’ll see the rest of the slides coming one after the other.
Further there are three main views to see the slides as Normal View, Slide
Shorter View and the Slide Show.
You can customize your working environment as you want.

are showing the presentation in another computer you should copy the
movie files along with the presentation to the that computer.

5.8 Managing and Delivering Presentation [45 min]

How to set up a presentation to run in a continuous loop?

1) On the Slide Show menu, click Set Up Show
2) Select the Loop continuously until ‘Esc’ check box
5.8.2 Defining Custom Shows
Sometimes you may need to create another presentation based on a

previously created presentation. If the allocated time for the presentation is less
than the previous then again we need to hide some slides. But without hiding the
slides and damaging the structure of the previous presentation we can prepare
another presentation by selecting the required slides of the previous. Here you
don’t need to create another file but within the same presentation you can create
a custom Show. Another requirement to have custom shows is that we can use
one presentation to a different audiences.
How to create a Custom Show?

1) Open your previously created presentation
2) Open the Custom Shows dialog box from Slide Shows > Custom Shows
3) Click on the New button [ You’ll get the dialog box called “Define
Custom Show”]

select multiple slides]

arrows stay next to the Slides in Custom show filed

in your presentation.
5.8.3 Rehearse Timing
It is good to have a rehearsal before going to the presentation if you have

to do the presentation in a tight time schedule. Rehearse timing helps you to
adjust the time required to be on the slides. If you know the time you need to
spend on a particular slide then you can directly add that time for the slide.
How to set the timing in the rehearsal mode?

rehearsal mode.

5.8.5 Adding Notes for the Presenter
You may need to carry some notes that would help you to do the
presentation. Presentation application itself provides the facility of creating such
notes that would accompany with the slide. If you want you can print these notes
as a separate note for the audience or make these notes visible once you save the
presentation as Web page. You have to use the Normal View of the presentation
to add the notes. Once you have finished you can shift to Print Preview to see how
your notes will print and see the full effect of your text formatting.
