be added such as bold, italics or underlining.

Layout
For the layout of each slide, you must provide information about where each item
within the content is going to be placed on the slide. This includes the text, images
and buttons. You must also provide information about any background colour or
design that will be used on each slide.

Slide transitions and animations

For the slide transitions and animations for each slide, you must have information
about the specific effect that will be used, as well as the duration, the trigger for it and
the order in which animations should happen.

Arrows
Arrows need to be used between the slides to show which slides should be linked to
other slides. This will also show where all the hyperlinks need to be link to.

You are now going to complete the font and layout sections of your design
specification.

Adding timings and audio to slides

When you have selected and added your slide transitions, you will need to make sure
that they are not too fast or to0 slow. To do this, you will need to set a suitable timing tor
each one. A suitable timing would be between 0.5 and 1 second. Remember, you dont
want to keep your audience waiting too long. The time taken for the slide transition is
called the duration. You can type the time that you would like the transition to take,
directly into the Duration box.

You will see that this creates a new tab called Slide Master. This tab includes lots of
options relating to the master slide. You will also see a range of slide templates running
down the left-hand side of the screen. Youcan customise these
templates that already
have some of the layout and formatting pre-set, or you can create your own template. It is
easier to customise the templates that you have already been given.

Changing the layout of a template

You can change the layout of a template by simply moving the content boxes to the place
on the slide where you want them to appear. It you want to include additional content
boxes on a slide, then these are called placeholders. To insert a new placeholder, select
