Enhancing the Presentation:

Not too spectacular?   Let’s spice it up!

Click-in the cloud.  Then, type the word WOW!  You will see WOW! appear in the cloud.  It’s sort of like a “hidden” text box (this is the secret!).  Click the left mouse button in front of WOW!, hold down the left mouse button, and drag across WOW! to highlight the word.  Or, since you are in Word, triple-click quickly on WOW! and WOW! will be highlighted. Click-on Format in the Menu Bar and then click-on Font. 

The Font Menu screen at the top of the next page will appear. 

Change the Font, Font style, Size, and Color.  Bold or Italicize if you want.  Be as creative as you desire and then click-on OK.  If WOW! is “too big” for your Cloud, simply “grab” one of the corners (as we explained on Page 23) and make the cloud larger.

 From now on you can “change” any of your text using this method.

 Save your work!

 Now that we have a cartoon cloud box (like in the comic-funny papers) that says WOW!, we need to add a comic character (clip art) to be saying this phrase.  So, back to add clip art.

Click-on Insert in the Menu Bar and then click-on Picture and then on Clip Art.  The Insert Clip Art screen (that we’ve used before - Page 16) will again appear on the right side of the screen.  We’re going to go down to the bottom of the screen and choose Clips Online again.  We thought we’d search for animated people, so we typed-in people in the Search for: and then chose Everywhere and Motion (as you can see in the image on the right).  We then clicked-on Go  and got 51 pages of images.  We then went through the pages as we did before and chose several images we liked.  You do the same and choose several that you like. 

We then clicked on Download (so many) clips (like picture at the left), then clicked-on Download Now, we were again taken to the Microsoft Clip Organizer screen.  Please look at your Clip organizer screen carefully.  On the left side it will indicate the folder in which the clips will be saved. 

Choose a clipart image that you like and click the small down triangle on the right side of the image.  When the drop down menu appears, click-on Copy. 

Then close the Microsoft Clip Organizer by clicking on the small “X” in the upper right corner of the Microsoft Clip Organizer screen.

Next move your cursor over your slide and click the RIGHT mouse button.  In the pop-up menu that appears, select Paste.  Your image will now be somewhere on your screen.  You’ll probably have to drag it down and to the left and make it larger (like we did on Page 23).  Go ahead and do that now.  When we finished, our slide looked like the one below.
