Power-point Design sheet

I can't believe how easy this is...

Stage 1 - creating the A3 page size

File - Blank presentation 

Then along the top click Design a series of options drop down. Go over to the right-hand side and click Slide size and then Custom slide size.  

You'll then be presented with this box in the middle of the screen... In the 'Orientation' box make sure the 'Slides' option is selected. Then reset the "Width" to 29.7 and the height to 42.0 then click OK.

You'll now be presented with this option below... Click the Ensure Fit option.

 

You'll then be presented with the A3 page with 2 boxes. With your mouse - right click on the frame lines of the circular grab points and the options box will appear - select cut and remove both these boxes so that you have a blank page.

The options box...

You'll now have a blank sheet. Now go up to the bar at the top and select insert. From the options choose Text box indicated with an 'A'. Your cursor will probably turn to an upside down cross - click on to the page (anywhere and draw a box about one third of the width of the paper. Then type some words into it. 

High-light the word you've typed and the font and font size options will appear and you can change the size of the text you'll use.

We recommend calibri at font size 11.

You can click into the box and use the return key to make the box bigger.

Simply repeat the same steps to create the 2nd and 3rd column.

When you click out of the box the frame disappears and then comes back if you click back in.

You can zoom in closer by clicking view at the top and choosing a larger option such as 100 or 150 making it easier to type. You can use the same to choose fit to window to look at how the layout looks as a whole page.

The text within the box can be highlighted with colours to highlight specific parts of your work. We recommend you do this with Plans, Health and safety and Reflective work...

 

Pictures are added in a similar way - in fact they're easier to add. Simply go to the top bar and click insert and then go to your image Insert pictures - insert pictures from device. 

Some of your pictures will initially appear on the page very large. Simply grab the corner and re-size. When you re-size be sure to hold the Up arrow on the left hand side of your keyboard to constrain the proportions as you resize the image. If it does distort, go to the top bar and click home and use the go back arrow to return to an earlier point. This can be used whenever you make mistakes.
