FORMATTING A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION

GETTING STARTED
 Open the file NP_PPT16_1a_FirstLastName_1.pptx

 Save the file as NP_PPT16_1a_FirstLastName_2.pptx by changing the “1”

to a “2”.

o If you do not see the .pptx file extension in the Save As dialog box, do
not type it. The program will add the file extension for you automatically.

 To complete this Project, you will also need to download and save the following
support files from the SAM website:

o Support_NP_PPT16_1a_Harbor.jpg

o Support_NP_PPT16_1a_Stream.jpg

 With the file NP_PPT16_1a_FirstLastName_2.pptx still open, add your first

and last name in the presenter notes on Slide 1.

PROJECT STEPS
1. You are developing a presentation for people interested in the Copper Harbor
Land Trust, which works to preserve land in northern Michigan. Start on Slide 1
by typing Copper Harbor Land Trust as the slide title.

2. With Slide 1 (“Copper Harbor Land Trust”) still displaying, type Preserving
natural resources as the subtitle.

3. Add a new Slide 2 using the Title and Content layout. Type Welcome to
Copper Harbor as the slide title.

4. On Slide 2 (“Welcome to Copper Harbor”), in the content placeholder, insert the

picture from the file Support_NP_PPT16_1a_Harbor.jpg, available for
download from the SAM website, to illustrate the harbor.

5. On Slide 3 (“Copper Harbor Watershed”), without using a content placeholder,

insert the picture from the file Support_NP_PPT16_1a_Stream.jpg,
available for download from the SAM website, to illustrate the watershed.

a. Resize the picture to a height of 6.0".

b. Crop the picture to an Oval shape from the Basic Shapes section of the
Crop to Shape gallery.

c. Position the picture as shown in Figure 1 below, using a Smart Guide to

align the left edge of the picture with the left edge of the title.

8. On Slide 5 (“Conservation Areas”), format the text “Land stewardship” as

follows:

b. Change the font size to 28 pt.

c. Change the font color to Teal, Accent 3 (7th column, 1st row in the

d. Bold the text.

9. With Slide 5 still displaying, use the Format Painter to copy the formatting from
the text “Land stewardship” to the text “Water preservation”.

10. Delete Slide 6 (“Why We Protect Copper Harbor”) because the same
information appears on other slides.

11. Return to Slide 5 (“Conservation Areas”), copy the text “Land”, and then paste
it in the text placeholder on Slide 6 (“How We Protect”) to provide the missing
heading.

12. On Slide 7 (“Where We Protect”), create a SmartArt graphic as follows:

a. Convert the bulleted list to a SmartArt graphic using the List layout
Vertical Bullet List shown in Figure 2 below.

b. In the second shape, change the text “White Lake” to Lily Lake. (Hint:
Do not type the period.)

13. On Slide 8 (“Connect with Others”), edit the slide as follows:

a. Delete the content placeholder on the right.

b. In the content placeholder on the left, enter the following multi-level

bulleted list:

14. Move Slide 9 (“Contact the Copper Harbor Land Trust”) so it becomes Slide 10,
the last slide in the presentation.

15. On the new Slide 9 (“Ways to Give”), edit the slide as follows:

a. Format the bulleted list as a numbered list.

b. Type Become a supporter as the fourth numbered item.

c. Type the following text in the Notes pane:

We depend on your contributions.

16. On Slide 10 (“Contact the Copper Harbor Land Trust”), remove the hyperlink
from the email address.

17. Check the Spelling in the presentation to identify and correct any spelling
errors. (Hint: You should find and correct at least one spelling error. Ignore
proper nouns.)

In Slide Sorter view, your presentation should look like the Final Figure below. Save your
changes, close the presentation, and then exit PowerPoint.
