Objectives The student will be able to: 1. Add clip art 2. Move the clip art 3. Modify the size of clip art
ClipArt Art which has been prepared and which may be inserted into a presentation or other document is available with the Microsoft Office suite.

Modifying Organization Charts Often times the standard organization chart which is the default template will not provide all the levels or number of items which are need to clearly represent the organization. Hence, the Organization Chart Toolbar provides the means to add co-workers, assistants, and subordinates to any individual. Additionally, it provides the means by which to change the orientation of the chart.
New Terms Organization Chart Toolbar
This specialized toolbar provides assistance in inserting different shapes, changing the layout of the chart or selecting different items or even choosing a type of different diagram.
Assistant Shape
Use the Assistant Shape to add an assistant box to a select manager in the organizational chart.
Subordinate Shape
Use the Subordinate Shape to add a subordinate box to a selected manager in the organizational chart.
Scaling the Organization Chart or reformatting a particular branch or level may increase the visibility of items on the chart. Keep in mind, that the ultimate test is whether the audience can clearly read the item.

Lesson 2: Adding Transitions Overview Transitions are special visual effects which may be applied to a particular slide or used to move from slide to slide. This lesson covers transitions within a slide, which are activated when a particular slide is introduced. Transitions can add strength to a presentation. They may include sounds assigned to a particular slide (See Microsoft Office Special Topics: Sound in PowerPoint class for specialized information). The type of transition can be changed after it has been added as can how long the special effect lasts, and what type of sound occurs. To see if a slide has a transition applied to it, go to the Slide Sorter view. Under every slide containing a transition, there appears a transition icon. This icon can be clicked to preview the effect.
Objectives The student will be able to: ¾ Add transitions within a slide ¾ Preview transitions within a selected slide
