Question/Discussion

1. How to use graphics and charts?

To use smart art graphics and charts, you must first, prepare a new slide and set the layout to Title
and Content. Right-click the new slide on the slides panel/control pane and choose layout, then
choose title and content.









In the centre of the slide, there are 6 insert icons, table, chart, smart art graphic, image, clip art and
video. Choose smart art graphic to insert smart art graphic or chart to insert charts.


After that a window will appear for you to choose the type of graphics you want to use. For this, we
will use hierarchy for a family tree

Then enter the information in the chart.

To insert charts, select the insert chart icon and then a window will appear for you to select the type
of chart. For this, we will use 3-D Clustered Column Chart.






Then an excel window will pop up for you to enter the chart information. Just like Excel, category is
for the x-axis and series is for the y-axis.

2. How to run a presentation?
To run a presentation there are 3 ways to do so, first is to click F5 on the keyboard, it will
automatically run the presentation for you after clicking F5. The slides will play from the first to last.

Second is to click the slide show button on the bottom right panel of the PowerPoint window.
Choosing this option will allow you to start a presentation from the current slide you are viewing. It
wont play automatically from the first slide.



Third is to select slide show from your toolbar and then select from beginning. It will play the
slides from the first to the last.
