Tuesday 12 - 4: a "How To" Slideshow, step 2

The second step in creating this presentation file is to add your text, ie, all the stuff you typed about your "how to" topic between last week AND yesterday's class. There are several steps which you must take in order to complete this part of the process:

A) Don't try to put too much text on any one slide!  Doing so will make it incredibly hard for me to read what you've written, which will make me tell you to do it again

B) Make sure that you include all the text which you were supposed to type up previous to this class. If you don't remember what you were supposed to have done already, then you need to go back and
read the instructions again
to make sure you do have it right

C) Your name and the subject of your "how to" presentation must be on the very first slide

D) All your text must be formatted with a different color than black and a different font than "Times New Roman"

E) To format any block of text, one easy method is to first select the text, then click on the "FORMAT" command at the top center of the screen, then choose the menuitem called "CHARACTER. 

F) This will bring you to a dialog box that looks like this

G) The "font" tab has all the fonts... the "font effects" has the colors.

H) Make sure your color for your text doesn't clash with the color for your background

If we run out of time before the next step, make sure you save and upload this file to Box.com
