[Extra!] PowerPoint [Extra!]

Our PowerPoint test is tomorrow! So this post will just be going over everything we've learned about a PowerPoint, that I haven't already posted about.

Tool bars:
Standard toolbar

[Icons from left to right]

New Blank Document: This icon allows you to open a new blank presentation in a new window.
Open: This icon allows you to open another presentation into the already opened PowerPoint document.
Save: The save button enables you to save your work at the touch (click) of a button. =D
Permission: Allows you to set restricted access to your PowerPoint
E-mail: E-mails the PowerPoint presentation to the given e-mail adress as an attachment.
Print: Allows you to print your presentation slides, however it doesn't give you as many options with printing as File>Print.
Print Preview: Enables the user to see the slide as it will look like when printed. So if you want to make sure that everything fits etc. this feature is a good tool to use.
Spell and Grammar: A feature in most if not all Microsoft applications that checks the spelling throughout your document and gives options to fix your errors.
Research: Allows you to search for the topic of your choice through either supported Reference books, Research sites, and Business or Financial sites.
Cut: The cut tool allows you to remove an object you've placed on to a slide. The good part of the cut option is that you can paste all objects you've cut back into the slide if you are needed to do so. [ Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl + x]
Copy: Allows the user to select an image and copy it to be pasted. The copy tool can create a duplicate of the object, or paste it into a different slide/place or area. [Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl + c]
Paste: Works with the cut and copy tools. Allows you to paste images you have cut from the presentation but also ones you have copied [Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl + v]
Format Painter: This icon selects the formatting from a particular text and then applies (paints) it to another part of text where we want it to be applied.
Undo: Reverses last edit to the slide
Redo: Repeats last change that was reversed
Chart: Allows you to insert different types of data-based charts into PowerPoint.
Show/Hide Grid: When clicked displays a grid on the slide. This is used to help align objects on the slide, or for consistency with the placement of objects. When clicked again the grid will be hidden.
Inset table: Allows the user to insert a table 4 rows by 5 columns. If the table needs to be larger the 'Tables and Borders' tool bar can help customize the table, from drawing the table yourself to changing colours etc.
Draw Table: This icon enables the user to draw the table or chart of their liking. It changes the cursor to a pencil that shows that you can draw out the table, and opens up the 'Tables and Borders' tool bar for customization.
Hyperlink: Allows the user to insert a URL Link into the presentation. The hyperlink allows you to link text or images to existing web pages on the internet.
Expand All: Displays the titles and body of text in one slide. Works alongside collapse.
Show/Hide Grid: When clicked displays a grid on the slide. This is used to help align objects on the slide, or for consistency with the placement of objects. When clicked again the grid will be hidden.
Colour/Greyscale: Changes all slides to be colour or grayscale based.
Zoom bar: Allows you to view the presentation at a selected percent when in 'Normal View'.
Help: Opens options within PowerPoint from which you can access the help questions and how to's. You can also search for questions you are having with PowerPoint using the Help tool.
