Advantages and disadvantes of foreign aid to developmentBaseera Hashmi
There is no doubt that today’s world is more affluent and has more advanced technology than ever before ,however, there are famine, pollution, water shortages and development problems in dozens of countries. In that case, many countries and organizations are supplying aid and supporting undeveloped countries. Ordinary people who live in rich countries also have greater awareness of helping their infrastructural development. Food, technological, educational aids have become an accepted policy of advanced countries to assist in furthering the development of the human and material resources of poor countries.
Unfortunately, problems were misdiagnosed or not foreseen. It is no good taking over the aid of foreign countries uncritically. Moreover, foreign aid would make undeveloped countries lose their economy, market and other area’s independence. At the same time, as a kind of political exchange, undeveloped countries have to obey new rules which created by developed countries and further to be vassal states again. Nowadays, most countries in the world have not finished the progress of being industrialized.

INTRODUCTION TO MICROSOFT POWERPOINT 2010
Definition
Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation software application that allows users to combine text and
graphics for on-screen presentations.
PRACTICAL USES FOR MICROSOFT POWERPOINT
Microsoft PowerPoint’s substantial power and flexibility make it a useful tool for both personal and
business use. It is typically used as a graphical approach to presentations in the form of slide shows
that accompany oral delivery of the topic.
Users create dynamic, informational slides through the use of
o Text
o Graphics
o Animation
CREATING A NEW PRESENTATION
Definition
A PowerPoint presentation is a file that contains one or more slides that collectively present various
kinds of related information in a dynamic way.
There are a number of ways to open a new, blank presentation.
o Click Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 from the start menu. This launches a new session of
PowerPoint and a new blank presentation will open automatically.
4. 4
o If PowerPoint is already open click New + Blank presentation on the File tab. This will open a
new presentation in addition to the already open presentation.
5. 5
o You can also press CTRL + N whilst in an existing presentation to quickly
create a new, blank presentation.
1) BASE A NEW PRESENTATIONON AN EXISTING PRESENTATION
You may be able to save time and effort by recycling previous work and basing a new presentation on
an existing presentation.
There are two ways to do this:
o If PowerPoint is open click New + New from existing on the File tab.
o Navigate to the existing presentation you wish to recycle via the dialog box.
Then click Create New.
2) BASE A NEW PRESENTATIONON A POWERPOINTTEMPLATE
Definition
A PowerPoint template is a preformatted presentation designed for a specific purpose such as
presenting financial summaries, preparing a SWOT analysis or creating a business plan.
To base a new presentation on a template do the following:
o Open Microsoft PowerPoint
o Click New on the File tab
o Now you have a range of options including the following:
Open a recently used template from Recent templates;

4) SLIDE MASTER AND PLACEHOLDERS
Definition: Slide master
A slide master is the highest level slide in a hierarchy of slides that stores information about slide
layouts and themes in a presentation. The information stored includes background, fonts, positioning,
effects and placeholder sizes.
Definition: Placeholders
A placeholder is a box with dotted or hatch-marked borders that form part of most slide layouts. These
boxes hold title and body text. They can also include objects such as charts, tables and pictures.
Illustration: Apex themed master slides
The illustration below shows the Microsoft PowerPoint default master slide pack with the Apex theme
applied. No other customizations have been made. This was created by opening a new presentation
then adding the Apex theme on the slide master view.
11. 11
Create your ownslide master
To create or customize a slide master:
o Open a blank presentation
o Click Slide Master in the Master Views group on the View tab. This opens the slide master
with the default associated layouts. The slide master is identifiable as it is the largest slide in
the thumbnail pane.
To delete any of the built-in layouts right-click the slide thumbnail you wish to delete, then
click Delete Layout
Set the page orientation for all the slides in your presentation to either Portrait or
Landscape. To do this click Slide Orientation in the Page Setup group on the Slide Master
tab.
Create new layouts and customize existing layouts as necessary. For example you can
apply design or theme-based colours, fonts, effects and backgrounds.
You can also add and delete placeholders.
To add a placeholder, select the placeholder type form the Insert Placeholder drop-
down in the Master Layout group of the Slide Master tab
Draw the placeholder where you want it to appear.
To delete a placeholder select it with the mouse then click DELETE
o Click Save As on the File tab.
o Enter a name in the File name box
o Click PowerPoint Template in the Save as type list. Click Save.
o Back on the Slide Master tab, click Close Master View in the Close group.
15. 15
INSERTING AND EDITING TEXT-BASED CONTENT
1) ADD TEXT TO A PLACEHOLDER OR TEXT BOX
i. Adding text to a placeholder
As we saw in the previous section placeholders are created in the Master and Layout slides to form the
slide templates for our presentation.
When we add a new slide from the Master and Layout library we can then enter text in the pre-defined
placeholders. To do this:
o Select a slide from the thumbnail pane
o Click inside the placeholder you want to edit
o Then type, paste or edit text
Note: that the prompt text within a placeholder disappears when you click into the placeholder
to edit it.
16. 16
ii. Add text to a text box
Whilst placeholders provide a consistent look and feel to our presentation there will be times when we
need to customize a slide’s layout and enter text outside a placeholder, for example when adding a
caption to a picture. To do this we need to add what is called a text box as follows:
o Click Text Box in the Text group on the Insert tab
o Click the slide (the position will be the top-left of the resultant text box), and then drag the
pointer to draw the text box
o Click inside the text box and then type or paste text.
Note :that text is editable by all users if entered as a text box in Normal View (as above).
However, if a text box is added into a Slide Master in Slide Master view, then that text will be
permanent and un-editable outside the slide master.
18. 18
2) ADD TEXT TO SHAPES
When you insert shapes (e.g. callout balloons and block arrows) using the Shapes option in the
Illustrations group on the Insert tab, those shapes can contain text that becomes part of a shape.
To add text that becomes part of a shape:
o Select the shape by clicking it
o Type or paste text
20. 20
3) BULLETS AND NUMBERS

o Select the lines of text in a text placeholder or table that you want to add bullets or numbering
to.

numbering.
21. 21

4) MEDIA
i. Videos
.
a) Link a video
When you link to a video you create a connection between the PowerPoint presentation and the linked
video file.
The advantage of this is that you reduce the file size of your presentation dramatically because the
video remains external to the presentation file.

the same folder as your presentation then link to them there.
71. 71
b) Embed a video
When you embed a video into a presentation you are literally taking a copy of the video and adding it
to the presentation file.
The advantage of this approach is that you do not need to worry about broken links and locating the
source video files.
Embed a video in your presentation
To embed a video in your presentation follow the same procedure as for linking a video as described
above apart from the final step. Here, you must select Insert rather than Link to File on the Insert
video dialog box.
