Question 1

In PowerPoint, which feature allows you to set up a presentation to run continuously and automatically advance slides at set intervals without a presenter?

Accepted Answer

Set Up Show > Browsed at a Kiosk (Loop Continuously)

Answer

The 'Browsed at a Kiosk' option under Set Up Show loops the presentation continuously and prevents manual navigation, ideal for self-running displays.

Question 2

In PowerPoint, what is the purpose of 'Animation' as distinct from 'Transitions'?

Accepted Answer

Animations apply effects to individual objects on a slide; Transitions control how slides change from one to the next

Answer

Animations are applied to individual objects (text, images, shapes) on a slide, while transitions are effects applied to the whole slide when moving between slides.

Question 3

In PowerPoint, how do you add a new slide with a specific layout (e.g., Two Content)?

Accepted Answer

Home > New Slide > (select layout from dropdown)

Answer

The Home tab's 'New Slide' dropdown arrow expands to show all available slide layouts so you can pick the right one.

Question 4

In PowerPoint, which tab contains the Theme galleries for changing the overall visual design of a presentation?

Accepted Answer

Design

Answer

The Design tab contains the Themes gallery where you can browse and apply pre-built color, font, and effect combinations to the entire presentation.

Question 5

In PowerPoint, what does 'Presenter View' provide during a live slide show?

Accepted Answer

A view on the presenter's screen showing the current slide, next slide, speaker notes, and a timer

Answer

Presenter View shows the current slide, a preview of the next slide, speaker notes, a timer, and controls on the presenter's screen while the audience sees only the full-screen slide.
