PowerPoint Certification PowerPoint Evaluation Preparation 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which PowerPoint feature lets you apply one presentation's fonts and colors to another without recreating the design from scratch?
- Format Painter (Correct answer)
- Slide Master
- Theme transfer
- Design Ideas
Correct answer: Format Painter
Format Painter copies formatting properties from selected content and applies them elsewhere, including across slides.
Question 2: A presenter wants every slide's title placeholder to use the same custom font automatically. The best place to configure this is:
- Slide Layout view
- Slide Master view (Correct answer)
- Animation Pane
- Design tab
Correct answer: Slide Master view
Changes made in Slide Master view propagate to all slides that use that master, including title placeholder formatting.
Question 3: What does the 'Compress Pictures' option in PowerPoint primarily accomplish?
- Reduces image resolution to decrease file size (Correct answer)
- Converts images to vector format
- Locks images so they cannot be moved
- Groups all pictures on a slide
Correct answer: Reduces image resolution to decrease file size
Compress Pictures reduces image resolution and removes cropped areas, shrinking the overall file size.
Question 4: When you set a slide transition duration to 0.00 seconds in PowerPoint, what happens?
- The transition is removed entirely
- The slide changes instantly with no visible animation (Correct answer)
- PowerPoint uses the default duration instead
- An error is displayed
Correct answer: The slide changes instantly with no visible animation
A 0-second duration means the transition executes so quickly it appears instantaneous, but the transition effect still technically exists.
Question 5: Which keyboard shortcut starts a slideshow from the CURRENT slide rather than the beginning?
- F5
- Shift+F5 (Correct answer)
- Ctrl+F5
- Alt+F5
Correct answer: Shift+F5
Shift+F5 begins the presentation from the slide currently selected, while F5 always starts from slide 1.
Question 6: A candidate must insert a video so it plays automatically when its slide appears. Which setting achieves this?
- Set Start to 'Automatically' in the Video Tools Playback tab (Correct answer)
- Check 'Loop until Stopped' in Video Options
- Enable 'Hide During Show' for the video
- Set the animation trigger to 'On Click'
Correct answer: Set Start to 'Automatically' in the Video Tools Playback tab
The 'Automatically' start option in the Playback tab triggers the video as soon as the slide loads without requiring a click.
Question 7: In PowerPoint, what is the purpose of the 'Section' feature?
- To lock specific slides from editing
- To organize slides into named logical groups (Correct answer)
- To create a table of contents automatically
- To split a presentation into multiple files
Correct answer: To organize slides into named logical groups
Sections let you group slides under named headings, making it easier to navigate and organize large presentations.
