Using the "practice exercises" file, experiment with splitting existing slides into two slides, adding and deleting slides, and moving slides. 18. This is an optional exercise to illustrate working with a scanned image. Earlier in Exercise 5, you placed a couple of vector images. You noticed that the background was still visible around the image. Use the "practice exercises" file from the previous exercise, and go to the clipart slide. Select and delete one of the images. Use INSERT, Graphics, from File and place a copy of this image on your slide: C:\Corel\Suite8\Graphics\Pictures\Nature\Tree.bmp (This is a different folder from the other images you used, but it is on your hard drive; keep changing the folder areas until you find it.) What is different about this image compared with the other vector image? Drag and make the TREE image so it fills up much of the slide. What is happening in the image, in terms of the quality? Delete this image and click and drag the other vector image, making it quite large. How does this image appear, in terms of quality? 19. This is an optional exercise to let you experiment with editing a vector image. You will need to download the HOTAIR.WPG file into a folder on your hard drive by clicking the file name. Use the "practice exercises" file from the previous exercise. Get in the Slide Editor View and click AInsert Slide with no Layout@ which is just a background. Now place an image on the slide, using Insert, Graphics, from File. Find the Hotair.wpg file that you downloaded into the folder on your hard drive. This image is made up of 6 hot air balloons and 4 parts to the landscape at the bottom. If you click on each part, one-at-a-time, you will see that part has handles. Click on one balloon you want to delete and press <Delete> to delete it. Repeat this process, selecting another balloon and deleting it, until you have deleted four of them. Click on each part of the landscape and again delete it. You now just have two balloons left. Drag them to position them as you wish and then click outside the bordered area, on the slide. This closes the Edit Mode. Your image has been modified and you have a different effect than the original image. You do not need to save the file. 20. If you have started creating your own slide set, try adding a bar or pie chart with appropriate data for your talk. 21. If you have created your own slide set, practice adding lecture notes for some of your slides. Get into Slide Editor View and be looking at the slide you want to add notes to. Click on the Speaker Notes button on the Property Bar and then type in the text in the resulting window. Use the arrow keys to scroll from slide to slide, if you want. 22. There is a lot more information on charting in the online help than was covered in this lesson.

Select Data Charts and read about some of the options there, for example,
Management notes: It is not necessary to keep any of the files you have created that start with "practice." In subsequent lessons you will need the "newsletter tips" file and any other files you have been creating with your own text material. Learning Corel Presentations 8.0 |
