Here, students will learn how to: create a linked object, open the linked item, update linked objects, use linked objects in a presentation and how to delete linked objects.
Working with Action Buttons, Part One
An action button is a special type of AutoShape and can be used for several purposes, but are commonly used to link to specific slides in a presentation. In this module students are shown how to: use action buttons to link to other files, link to custom shows, link to other slides, link to websites and how to delete an action button.

Inserting and Editing Videos
Videos can be used to enhance presentations in many powerful ways. This module gives students the tools to: insert a video from your computer, apply a style to a video, crop a video, correct a video, recolor a video, and apply or remove a poster frame.
Playing Video Files
After you’ve added videos to your presentation, you need to know how to play them and this module allows students to do just that. This module shows users: how to add and remove bookmarks, trim videos and add fades, set playback options, and play a video during a presentation.
Protecting Your Presentation
It’s always a good idea to inspect your presentation for personal information, invisible content, or comments or notes before distributing it to others. These goals will be accomplished by showing students how to: run the Document Inspector, run the Accessibility Checker, mark a presentation as final, and how to encrypt presentations with a password.
Checking for Compatibility
The Compatibility Checker is used to check for objects in a presentation that may not work or be displayed properly in earlier versions of PowerPoint. Here, students are given the tools to: run the Compatibility Checker, convert presentations from older PowerPoint formats, save presentations as older PowerPoint formats, and set compatibility options.
Setting up Your Show
Users can adjust a number of basic options before starting a presentation. This module shows students how to: use the Set Up Show dialog, choose show elements, hide and show slides, and rehearse timings.
Creating Macros
Macros are handy for running simple tasks in a presentation. This module provides the skills for users to: enable the Developer tab, set macro security, create a macro, run a macro, and delete a macro.
Managing Add-Ins
Add-ins are essentially small programs that you can install and enable to add custom commands and new features to most Office applications, including PowerPoint 2013. Students are shown in this module how to: view add-ins, manage add-ins, and change add-in settings.
