Ten techniques for making courseware by PowerPoint

In the actual teaching process, found that most teachers still prefer to use PowerPoint to make some courseware, PowerPoint usage is very high, this is because for most teachers to make their own teaching software, the software requirements on the one hand is not a special installation, almost all computers have On the other hand, more importantly, simple and easy to learn, convenient and practical, and really good effect. As a general rule, PowerPoint is less powerful than flash and authorware, but it should be said to be more comfortable and comfortable to use in everyday auxiliary teaching. In the course of actual production of courseware, we often have to choose and make up some films, pictures, animation, sound and other materials, and how to use these materials flexibly and freely, it becomes the key to improve the quality of PowerPoint courseware production. In the process of using PowerPoint to make courseware, I gradually accumulated some skills, and now briefly explain it and communicate with you.
　　

1. Text hyperlink settings Use the hyperlink settings of the text to create a nice directory. When you set up hyperlinks, it is recommended that you do not set the action of the font, but to set the border of the word. In this way, you can avoid making the word with a drawing line, and you can make the word color unaffected by the motherboard. The specific action for the selected word box, right-click, select the Action Settings item, link to the page you want to jump.
　　

2. The appearance of the text synchronized with the lectures to make the text appear with the narration, you can use the "Custom action" to erase it to the right in alphabetical form. But if a large paragraph of text, the word appears fast or too fast. This section of text can be divided into one line of text blocks, even a few words a word block, and then in order to set the animation of each word in sequence to erase the letter to the right, and in the time item set with the previous action interval of one second to three seconds, you can make text appear speed and narration consistent.
　

3. To solve the menu problem in courseware in order to make the interface of courseware not so monotonous, we sometimes set hyperlinks in PowerPoint to create menus, but many of the teachers make the menu will encounter the following problems: The teacher made the menu in the slide playback process, if clicked on the corresponding link can be implemented menu function. But if you accidentally click on an area outside the link, PowerPoint automatically plays the next slide, making a well-designed menu useless. In other words, the menu does not play its part at all. This is why, in fact, the reason is very simple, PowerPoint by default, slides are switched by clicking the mouse. Solution: Find the crux of the problem, the solution is easy. In edit state, click the slide where the menu is located, and then click slide show → slide transition to open the Slide transition window and remove the √ before clicking. The following time options use the default setting, which does not set the time. In this way, this slide will only switch if you click on the corresponding link in the menu bar. Note that the slide with the return button should also have the same setting, so that you don't have to return to the main menu when you click on an area other than the back button.
　　

4. In the process of playing a slide show the way to paint first use the left mouse button or right click on the bottom right corner of the screen icon (or press the CTRL+P key combination), then click the Brush, change the mouse to a brush, click the left mouse button on the 1th of the drawing, and then drag the mouse to the 2nd, 3rd ... ..... click to paint. If you need to erase the newly-drawn graphic, press the E (Erase) key (if you switch to another Windows application at this point, and then switch back again, the graph you just drew will automatically disappear).
　

5. Using Geige hypertext link function to achieve jump, improve interactive features most of the PowerPoint software that the teacher started making, there is no hot key, so there is no interactivity, the slide can only be in the original fixed order by the show, which makes the teacher in class is very passive. In fact, the Geige mode is usually a common form of man-machine conversation, the ingenious setting can make your software professional. In PowerPoint, using Geige Hypertext link function to achieve jump, its interactive function is also quite good, the design is not difficult.
　

The ⑴ hotkey can be a variety of buttons in PowerPoint for your "action button" ("Slide Show" on the menu bar-"action button"). such as movies, sound, information, start, end, help, etc., you can design any shape, any color pattern, any character, As long as you feel satisfied on the line, such as: "Main Menu", "return", "background", "Author works", "Migration reading" and so on.
　　

⑵ Select the hotkey (click the key to bring a dotted handle around it. This box means that you can edit the contents of the box, choose Action Settings from the slide show, open the dialog box, you can choose the "click Mouse" or "mouse movement" two ways to control the hotkey action, generally for the purpose of the class easy to control , use the former more.
　　

⑶ Click "Super link" in the same dialog box and open the Drop-down menu below it. You can select any slide, movie, or sound as a linked object for the hotkey, either as a slide in this PowerPoint file or as a character, animation, or movie in another file, such as Word, Excel, or a disc.
　　

⑷ Click "Play Sound". Also, in the dropdown menu PowerPoint also prepares a variety of sounds to match the "action", if not satisfied, you can click on the menu at the end of "other sounds", then you can from the CD and other documents to intercept the sound you need. If not satisfied, but also their own voice (specific operations, you can refer to the following "You can also directly for the courseware dubbing").
　　

⑸ Click "Highlight when clicked" to enhance the effect of the screen.
　　

⑹ finally click OK to close the dialog box and you are done with a hotkey setting for an interactive action.
Repeat ⑴-⑹, set up a number of interactive hot keys, you can in the file before and after the file and any forward back, jump, repeat the studio, aplomb.

6. Make special effects subtitles when you watch a movie, you know that some movie subtitles come out slowly from the lower part of the screen and disappear from the top of the screen. In fact, we can use PowerPoint's powerful demo feature to create such a slide. Its production process is as follows:
⑴ on the new slide, select the slide in blank format, and click OK.
⑵ on the Insert menu, select the From File option in picture, select the file name of the background picture you designed, and click the Insert button. When you choose a good background picture, it appears on the slide.
⑶ adjust the size of the picture, select the picture frame, and choose Copy from the Edit menu, in case you want to call the picture back and forth.
⑷ Use the Crop tool on the picture to keep about 1/5 of the picture below and move the remaining pictures out of the slide to facilitate subsequent operations.
⑸ Click the Edit menu, select Paste, and the following operation with 4th, keep about 3/5 of the upper picture.
⑹ Click the Edit menu, select Paste, select stacking order from the drawing menu below the screen, and click Put on bottom. At this point, there are three pictures on the lamp: The complete background, the upper picture and the lower picture.
⑺ first put the complete background picture on the slide, then put the upper and lower pictures on the background picture, and look like a picture.
⑻ Click the Insert menu, select text box in text box, and enter the text you want to show in the text box.
⑼ the text box to the bottom of the stack order, and then move the text box up one level.
⑽ determines the animated style of the text box. Click Slide Show, select Custom Animation, select slow move from bottom in animation effects, and click OK.
⑾ when you place a text box, be careful to place the frame bottom of the text box at the top of the background picture, such as the longer text content, although it doesn't matter how long it is from the top of the slide. (www.3lian.com)

⑿ now can click the "Slide Show" shortcut keys, to see how the subtitles just made, if possible, set the text font, font size, color and animation of the cycle show and dubbing and so on, so that a copy of the movie subtitle of the slide is made.
　　

7. Modify templates When you make a set of slides in PowerPoint, the background of this group of slides is usually determined by the pattern of the same template. If we change the template for one slide, the template for that set of slides changes. Sometimes we need to use several different templates in the demo to get a good demo, so there are two ways to fix this:
⑴ uses the background transformation to save the required template as a graphic file using the "drawing" in Windows95 or other graphic editing software. Then go into PowerPoint, select "Background" in the toolbar "format", use "fill effect" to select the corresponding graphic file in "Picture", Return to "background", select "Ignore Master background graphics", and finally Press "apply". So we've changed the template for the current slide. Repeat these steps to replace the different templates for the slides you want.
⑵ using Hyperlinks We save the entire set of slides as a set of files in the order they are played and the slides that use the same template. You can have only one slide or multiple slides per file, but the slides in the same file have the same template, and the slides in the adjacent files have different templates. Then use the hyperlinks in the PowerPoint toolbar insert to link files to each file. The specific method is: ① Select the first file in the show; ② find the last slide in this file, on this slide, draw a rectangle that is slightly larger than the slide, select the rectangle as "no fill" and place it on the bottom of the slide: ③ Select the rectangle and select hyperlink in insert. In nil under link to file or URL, type the next file name, or use browse to select the next filename, and then "OK", ④ Select the next file, repeat step ② and step ③ until the last file, and the last file will not need to be linked.
