Application and App Navigation
In order to appreciate or make or even use a slide presentation, one must necessarily know how to go about at the application’s desktop. Basically, it is the loading, navigation, saving and exiting the application that essentially matters for the crash course on Slide Show. So, let us discuss it in detail one after the other. There may be some other approaches to the procedure but for the sake of this discussion, this teacher uses the most convenient way for a beginner learner. For learners’ information, this module uses PowerPoint® at MS® Office Plus 2016.
Loading the application
From the system’s desktop, we are to load the application thru the following steps: 1. Click Start button and wait for the Start menu to appear 2. Locate PowerPoint® at the Start menu and click 3. Wait for the application to load 4. Click Blank Presentation and the application will open the PowerPoint® desktop ready for you to work on
Navigating the PowerPoint desktop
The presence of the computer is for the encoder to perform in swift
and easy way the difficult and cumbersome task such as slide-making. PowerPoint® desktop is just like any of the MS® Office apps; see Fig. 16b1 below, it is consists of the dashboard at the upper part, the slides display at the left side margin, the slide edit work area at the right of slides display to extreme right margin, and the status bar at the bottom margins of the display.

Dashboard. It the graphical summary of various pieces of important
information, typically used to give an overview of an application.

Fig. 16b2 PowerPoint® Dashboard. Follow the number 1. title bar 2. menu bar 3. tool buttons 4. buttons display area
The dashboard see Fig. 16b2 above is consists of the title bar, menu bar and tool buttons display area. Title bar is the uppermost part of the application desktop composed from the left of Quick Access Tool Bar, application and file name in the middle and the window control buttons at the right side.
What is the dashboard’s purpose?
The dashboard is there to be accessed during work on slide for
convenience. One would just simply click on the menu or button to perform a particular action. It is suggested to memorize often used tool buttons rather than memorizing the entire dashboard parts.
Title bar is used to identify the application employed and the name of the file currently in manipulation. It accommodates the Quick Access Tool Bar at its left end where buttons here can be added or removed by the user depending on the necessity and convenience. This bar also serves as window handle when in restore mode where you can move the window from one place to another thru drag and drop.
Menu bar provides the menu tabs that serve as switch to open the available actions and options. When the tab is clicked, the tool buttons for the menu are displayed at the tool button display area. Greyed buttons, options and menus are inapplicable for the time being. It requires taking prior action to be a normal active desktop item that can be executed. Example of this is Redo (↻), it is grey if nothing has been Undo (↺) first. 1. 2. 1.

The area at the left of PowerPoint® desktop where numbered slides
appear in column, see also Fig. 16b1 above. This displays the thumbnail view of each slides of the presentation being worked on. The area is adjustable to increase or decrease thumbnail view according to user convenience and necessity thru drag and drop. User can also perform slides shuffling thru same drag and drop method here to accommodate desired slide succession.
What is the work area?
The part of the desktop where the whole slide is displayed and can be modified, see also Fig. 16b1 above. The area occupies the biggest share of the desktop and accommodates all the editing actions including control and playback for the presentation. During the presentation playback, the desktop preview turns full screen to accommodate widest possible view of the presentation in play.
What is the status bar?
Status bar can be found at the bottom margins of the desktop display, see also Fig. 16b1 above. This is the part that displays information about a file being edited or a program running.
Saving the file
Saving the file being worked on is simply the act of saving data to a storage location selected by the user in which by default, to the hard drive. Whenever one is working a task at a computer, it is but necessary to save and often do it after the work was done. Saving the file is the natural thing to do but doing it after the task was done is a mistake. The user has to save the file the moment the work started for good reasons. First, loss of the work happens when accidental power interruption occurs outside of the AutoRecover time. Some application does not have AutoRecover feature. Second, when saved at start, user can simply press the Ctrl+S key- combination whenever pauses thereby provide security of work for the efforts done.
How to save a new file
1. Click File menu
2. Choose Save option from the subsequent menu that will appear 3. Click Browse to specify the desired location to save your file 4. Type the desired filename at the File name: field 5. Click Save button to execute the action 6. Proceed on working the slides How to save a file during the work
One cannot just rely on the AutoRecover for the security that work will not be lost if ever power service interruption happens. So, the user can perform shortcut key-combination Ctrl+S to save work anytime he pauses for a break. This can also be done by clicking Save () button at the Quick Access Tool Bar if the Save button is present there.
Exiting the application and shutdown
It is necessary to save the file worked on to finally secure and close
the session. The following steps will end up working on the PowerPoint® application and exit.
1. Press Ctrl+S or equivalent Save () button at the Quick Access Tool Bar to secure that file has really been saved. 2. Click the Close () button at the rightmost upper margin to close the application window. 3. Click Start button 4. Choose Power 5. Select Shut Down PRACTICE TASK 1 This is individually performed.
