1. MY JOURNEY THROUGH OFFICE APPLICATIONS By Bailey Tarvin

2. THE BEFORE ME Prior to taking Office Applications I used the note pad program & penning things down, leaving me very unorganized. I felt overwhelmed opening Microsoft Word & PowerPoint because of all the features they offer. I actually dont have them on my computer because I didnt think Id ever learn to use them.

3. MY EXPERIENCE WITH MICROSOFT WORD Over the course of this class I learned how to navigate Microsoft word. I learned how to use many, if not all of the features such as: Headers & Footers Hyperlinks WordArt, ClipArt & SmartArt Changing the layout of pages Endnotes & Footnotes & their differences Inserting or creating a table of contents Creating mailing labels Spelling & grammar checking, word count, & many other things.

4. TABLE OF CONTENTS The best thing I learned from the Word portion of the class was inserting the Table of Contents. Heres how its done. Open a new document or one youve already began & click the references tab. click the Table Of Contents & choose a table that automatically updates or a manual table. Manual Table- for a manual table click the table of contents icon. Scroll down to manual & click it. This sets up a template you can write chapters or sections on. Automatic Table- follow steps for the manual table but instead of choosing manual select an automatic. Automatics update themselves if you format the headings of your sections with a 1-3 format, or click the Update Table icon next to the table of contents icon.

5. ERMAHGERD INSERTS!! Inserts for Microsoft Word Pages- Cover pages, Blank Pages, & page breaks! Tables- Information tables, Calendars, double tables, Matrixes, & Tabular lists! Illustrations- SmartArt, ClipArt, Shapes & photos! Links- Hyperlinks, bookmarks & cross-references! Headers, footers & page numbers! Symbols & equations! Text- WordArt, Texts Boxes, Signature Lines, & the date & time!

Scroll down & choose a calendar. You can click the file tab & select new & search for more templates on office.com. Time & Date- on the insert tab find the Text section. Click the Time & Date icon & select the format you like. Click Update automatically if youd rather not go in & change it manually.

7. SAVING YOUR WORK I would have never known about all the different options for saving. Now that I do I can protect my work. Remember to save OFTEN! Save As- to first save a new document, go to the file tab & click save as & give it a name. After that you can click the plain save button. Save & Send- on the file tab find save & send. Save & Send files via E-mail, attachments, PDFs, & Internet faxes (fax service provider) with this. Or save it to the Web for your blog. Info Button- This tells you about your work & lets you change things. You can change permissions to make it hard for people to edit, or copy. You can look for issues so you can share, & manage the versions of your document.

8. MICROSOFT PUBLISHER I was excused from the Microsoft publisher section of this class in exchange for taking the unit on Excel in Office Applications 2. So in place of that slide I will add three chronological photos of the cutest little boy in the world. Enjoy.

9. MY FEELINGS ABOUT MICROSOFT POWERPOINT Even after taking this class I still have issues using PowerPoint. Setting up the timing of the transitions & animations is very easily forgotten. Im sure with practice it will become easier. The best thing about doing this unit is being able to get creative with the designs & selecting the animations & transitions of the slides.

10. FEATURES OF POWERPOINT I may not be totally competent using PowerPoint, but it does have a lot of fun features to play around with. Such as: Selecting slide layouts, themes & different shape styles. Inserting photos, videos, SmartArt, WordArt, Charts, & Tables. Inserting Audio clips, Videos, & Clip Art. Creating transitions, & adding Animations. Previewing & practicing your presentation. Thesaurus, & translating

11. ANIMATIONS & TRANSITIONS I loved giving life to my work. Heres how to add animation & transitions. Animations Transitions Select something to animate. A transition is the effect you Under the animations tab click get when going from one slide to animation styles or add animation. another. Open up a slide & go to Pick an animation & click it. You can the design tab & pick a theme. have one type of each animation. Now go to the transitions tab & Select the animation pane icon.

To adjust the time before animation & select timing. Delay the the slide changes check the After animation so it starts after the box & put in the amount of time previous one ends or start it with on youll need to present the slide click. Insert a time & hit play. plus a few seconds.

12. THESAURUS & TRANSLATE The thesaurus is useful because of the limited space offered. Changing words can help. Access the thesaurus by clicking the review tab. Its in the Proofing section. Or click the ALT button on the keyboard & press the R key, then the E key, & click a word to substitute. Right clicking the word & hovering over Synonyms & then looking at the bottom of the offered list & clicking the thesaurus option works too. At times there are words in the synonyms area to use. Use translate to present to a more diverse group . First, go to translate in the review tab & click it. Then pick the language youll use (I used Spanish) & that box will close. Next, click Translate again & elect whether youre translating a section of text or just a word or phrase & select the option youd like. My next slide will be the product of Translate in Spanish. * Note: The translation isnt always correct, you may want research & translate it on your own & try it on someone you know.

13. TESAURO Y TRADUCIR El tesauro es til debido al espacio limitado Traducir es til si hay personas que no estn ofrecido. Cambio de palabras puede ayudar. familiarizados con el lenguaje utilizado en la presentacin Acceso al Tesauro haciendo clic en la ficha revisar. Est en la seccin de correccin.

They removed it. Adding Notes! Notes are used to help you recall key points. You can make print outs of the notes or use them on the computer while presenting. Add notes by typing them at the bottom of a slide where it says click to add notes. Themes! Themes are how a slides background will look. To add or change them go to design tab & browse for one, click it. Next to the themes, youll find Colors, Fonts & Effects. Colors changes the colors on the theme.

15. CLOSING STATEMENT Ive learned a lot throughout this course. Just because there are many options doesnt mean its hard to learn & use. Both programs have very similar & useful features. Inserts, for example, make your presentation more interesting & memorable. The Word Count feature can help you manage the length of an essay. The ability to review & practice presentations on PowerPoint assists with making sure you & your audience have sufficient time on each slide. Make sure to give yourself more time if you plan to talk over slides. Overall, I became proficient at navigating both programs & utilizing them to make more affective, creative & personalized presentations.
