5 You have now made a basic presentation. However, if you wish to enhance your presentation further I have included instructions to add sound, animation and hyperlinks. 1. Create a slide and you may use any slide layout of your choice. I have chosen to use the second one in the first column under Content Layouts. 2. I have typed in the title of the slide and inserted a piece of clipart. Sound 3. Right Click once on the piece of clipart so that it is selected and a shortcut menu appears. 4. Click on the Custom Animation. 5. Before going further you must decide if you wish to have the sound begin when you click the mouse or when you move your mouse over the picture or automatically. 6.

6 Animation 11. Animations can be added in much the same way that Sound is added by using the same menu. I am just going to take a few minutes to show you more options. 12. Select a piece of text to animate. 13. Click on the Slide Show menu and slide down to Animation Schemes and then click. Notice that the right hand side of your machine has once again turned into an option pane. 14. From this option pane you may chose a variety of different animations. Pick one to see how it will look, you can always choose another. When you have completed the task you may wish to apply this animation to every slide so be sure to click on Apply to All Slides.
