This presentation tests various slide formats and elements in PowerPoint, including:
- Bulleted lists with different formatting on each bullet
- Long bullets that wrap text across multiple lines
- Placement of text relative to images
- Organization chart using auto shapes
- Walk-in, title, and walk-out slides to test full theme capabilities
The goal is to evaluate how different slide content displays and animates in Ovation.
This document tests various slide formats in a PowerPoint presentation, including slides with many bullets, long lines of text, large images, and organizational charts. It aims to evaluate how different slide elements like text formatting, wrapping, resizing, and positioning appear across themes. The final sentences encourage testing walk-in and walk-out transitions to check the full functionality of the themes.
This document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint slides to avoid common pitfalls. It recommends outlining the presentation, using a slide structure of 1-2 slides per minute with 4-5 main points per slide in point form. Font should be at least 18pt and contrast with the background. Graphs should be used instead of raw data when possible and should include titles and logical colors. Spelling and grammar should be proofread. The conclusion should summarize main points and invite questions.
The document provides tips for creating engaging presentation slides. It recommends avoiding standard templates that are boring and contain lots of text. Instead, it suggests using colorful graphics and images, varying font sizes and styles, limiting text on slides, and including infographics to present information visually. The overall message is to let creativity and visual elements enhance the presentation rather than relying primarily on blocks of text.
This document discusses how to transform sentences between different types, including:
- Exclamatory to assertive and vice versa
- Interrogative to assertive and vice versa
- Affirmative to negative and vice versa
It provides examples of transforming sentences between each type, such as changing an exclamatory sentence like "What a beautiful painting!" to the assertive "It is a very beautiful painting." Homework is assigned to practice additional transformations. Reference books are also listed for further English grammar study.
Tips for making power point presentationRicha Shroff
The document provides tips for creating more effective power point presentations. It recommends avoiding standard templates that contain too much text and are boring. Instead, creators should use their own designs with bright colors, good fonts sized 30 or larger, infographics, images, and limited text per slide. Presenters should speak confidently and use body language to engage the audience rather than reading slides as a manuscript. The goal is to wow the audience and keep them attentive through creative visuals and presentation skills.
This document contains the agenda and instructions for an English class. It includes topics to be covered such as California statehood, Hollywood, and filmmaking. Students are assigned to read passages and complete charts, homework on their favorite movie, and partner activities. Vocabulary words are also defined for students to understand in context.
This document provides spelling words and instructions for a weekly spelling lesson. It includes 20 spelling words such as "means", "old", "any", and "kind" along with example sentences using the words. Students are instructed to focus on sight words, words with "ue" patterns, and academic vocabulary. They are also reminded to listen for sounds in words and think about spelling when practicing this week's list of words.
The document provides guidance on evaluating news packages by assessing accuracy, completeness, and focus of the content; ensuring pictures show action, are relevant to the story, and feature real people; maintaining a logical narrative structure with clear sequencing and connections between elements; crafting a script that uses clear language, coordinates with visuals without contradictions, and fluidly links clips and graphics; and presenting the package in an engaged and convincing manner through audio and video.

1. Ovation Test Presentation
• This presentation will test several common slide formats
(although many of them are also examples of what you
shouldn’t do in a PowerPoint show).
• The content of these slides is based upon real-world
conditions.
• All text should be crisp and clear, and all animations should
be smooth, professional and non-distracting.
• Be sure to add Walk-In, Title, Intermission and Walk-Out
slides to your shows to test out the full capabilities of the
themes!
2. Lots of Bullets (26 to be exact)
• This is the 1st bullet
• This is the 2nd bullet
• This is the 3rd bullet (making sense so far?)
• This is the 4th bullet (and it should be bold!)
• This is the 5th bullet (and it should be underlined)
• This is the 6th bullet (and it should be italicized)
• 7th bullet (this is a good test of superscript text, too)
• 8th bullet
• 9th bullet
• 10th bullet
• 11th
• 12th
• 13th
• 14th
• 15th
• 16th (one of my favorite numbers)
• 17th
• 18th
• 19th
• Twentieth
• 21st (I remember when I turned 21 <sigh>)
• 22nd
• 23rd
• 24th
• 25th
• 26th (can you see them all?)
3. • There is no Title on this slide. It tests margins and different levels of bullets.
• Just a bunch of bullets (this line should be italicized, and the word “should” should be underlined).
• I boldly hope they show up ok.
1. And these are numbered….
2. So you should see some numbered bullets
A. This uses capital letters
B. So does this
C. And this, too.
D. So this should be line D
I. This is a Capital Roman Numeral bullet
II. So is this…
i. This is lower case roman numeral
ii. And this is too
iii. And this
iv. Do we handle ‘v’s?
a) How about lower-case alpha bullets with a parenthesis?
b) Hope so!
3. Back out to the main level
4. Line 4 here.
4. 7 Long Bullets (Text Resizing)
• This slide is certainly not very easy to love. There is waaay too much text all over
this slide. Poor little text RenderEngine. It is sweating…
• These bullets are very long and the lines should wrap around at least once or twice
in most themes. Here is more than one sentence per bullet. Even though that is not
recommended for a good presentation.
• Just one sentence here.
• We need to support long bullet points in Ovation. I thought Ovation was supposed
to encourage better presentations. Do good presentations keep a slide to 3-5
bullets by making each bullet 1 page long?
• Man, this presentation would either put me to sleep or fry my brain. Too much info
on one slide, so I would either shut down or burn out. Can’t the presenter
summarize these bullets and just put some of this info in their teleprompter notes?
• I need to make this slide as long as possible to make sure I test the line wrapping
and text resizing (when it’s available … it’s not in the product at this point.) Perhaps
not having it encourages people to make smaller, more concise slides.
• But then again, we need to make sure that someone who really has important
things to say doesn’t feel cramped. So, we will support insanely long slides like this
just to please such presenters (although their audiences won’t be as pleased)!
7. Santa Cola
• Merry Xmas Everybody! And to all a
Good Night! Ho-ho-ho-ho!
• Drink Coke! Leave the Milk for Santa!
And the Cookies!
• Ask Santa for Ovation! Remember,
your friends might want a copy of
Ovation, too!
• Will this text run into Santa’s Head? It
doesn’t in PowerPoint. So it shouldn’t
in Ovation, right?
• I think Santa might be in trouble, kids!
8. Ok, how about a slide to test the ppt layout
• This slide is intentionally formatted horribly
– With some of the text under the pictures and some of it over
the pictures.
– And lots of blank lines between bullets.
– Doesn’t matter, because 2+ pix will punt (and there are three
on this page – in PowerPoint this text is on top of the blue
picture but it is underneath the girl & dog picture).
– Look for the dashed lines around the edge of the girl and dog
picture.

Editor's Notes
Let’s be sure to test some notes, too! Here is my test presentation, and every Ovation theme should be able to gracefully handle just about everything in here (including the word “everything” as it is displayed in the teleprompter, because it is bolded, italicized and underlined!) Ovation will turn your old, boring PowerPoint shows into bold and compelling presentations. The text will be clean and easily readable. Beautiful and exciting transitions between slide elements will capture your audience’s attention. And the Presenter interface will ensure that you stay on time and on point for your entire presentation. With over 200 themes to choose from, you can be sure to find an Ovation environment to match your message. Ovation will come with color and complexity variations to suit any audience. So, tell your friends about Ovation and have them sign up to be a Beta Tester. Just send them to: www.seriousmagic.com/ovationbeta.htm
This slide tests Ovation’s ability to present a lot of text on a single slide. This is normally not a good idea, because it makes it harder for your audience to read your words. But Ovation will shrink up the text so that it will still be clean and readable, even from across the room. Bold Text Underlined Text Italicized text Bold and Italic Bold and Underline Italic and Underline Bold, Italic and Underline Did the teleprompter in the Presenter tab show all of the above text properly? Have you tried using the auto-scrolling feature of the teleprompter yet? It’s great if you want to read a script or need lots of cues during your presentation.
This slide is for testing sub-bullets and making sure that all of them are properly tagged and indented, and that their text gets slightly smaller with each indentation level. Here are some more notes: After a few blank lines, here is some bolded text. And here is some underlined text. And here is some ugly italicized text. Does the teleprompter show it all properly?
This slide is similar to slide 2, except that now we’re talking about having to display a lot of text in a pretty small area. Ovation will resize the text appropriately, and also make sure that it stays within the bounding area that the theme creates for it. But, once again, remember that making this kind of slide is not a very good idea for your real-life presentations. Your audience will get frustrated or bored…or both! In your presentations, you can talk as long as you need to about any topic, but always make sure that only your key points are displayed in your show. This way, your audience will pay attention to you as you elaborate, and your presentation won’t have to do the talking for you.
This slide is for testing a full-screen image, which is a very common occurrence in a PowerPoint slide. The image should be clean and clear on any display, and you should be able to easily see the black and white dotted line that surrounds the image. If you cannot see it, then there is likely something wrong with your computer display or your projector, so if there is a problem you should calibrate it right away. If, after aligning your display, you are still unable to see the dotted line, then it’s time to report a bug! Remember to report bugs as soon as you find them, so they will be fresh in your mind and you won’t have to go back and remember how you got the bug to occur.
This slide also tests a very common slide content organization – a title with a single image. The title should be displayed in the theme’s font treatment, and the image should be centered on the screen in the content area that the theme provides for it. One other thing you should be looking for when testing is to make sure that all transitions (for individual slide elements as well as between slides) are smooth and not distracting. The point of Ovation is to enhance your presentation, and not distract from it. Once again, the image should be clear, but in this case there is no dotted line around it. Pretty Alfa Romeo, isn’t it? Anybody know what model it is?
This slide tests another relatively common slide orientation – a title, a single image, and some text surrounding or adjacent to the image. The bulleted should wrap around the image (in this case, on the top and left) in a reasonable manner, such that the text and image do not overlap or even end up particularly close to each other. Ovation will always try to place your content in such a way that is pleasing to the eye and fits in with the atmosphere of the chosen theme. Remember, it’s your message that is the most important thing!
This slide is a disaster. It is intentionally made in such a way that the text overlaps the three images and the overlap each other. Really ugly, right? Well, Ovation really doesn’t know what to do with this slide because, once again, it is your message that is most important. So Ovation says “well, it must be that way for a reason”. Ovation has a display method that will display a slide’s content exactly as it is shown in PowerPoint if the slide’s content is laid out in a particularly bizarre manner. Ovation calls this the “PowerPoint layout”. We also like to call this the “punt” method, in honor of the start of the football season.
This, to many people, might simply be another test of a “title and one image” slide. However, this is not the case. This is actually a test of Ovation’s ability to display something other than a slide or an image. PowerPoint provides many ways to display data. Graphs and charts are the most common after text and images. Ovation will “natively” import all data that isn’t text or an image, and then should display it exactly the way it looks in PowerPoint. If you have some data that doesn’t look as good in Ovation as it does in PowerPoint, then please send us a bug report along with your presentation file so we can make sure that your data will look great with the final version.
Well, that’s it. On behalf of the Ovation Development Team and all of us at Serious Magic, we thank you for all of your assistance and testing time. Thanks in part to your help, Ovation will be the next standard in presentation software and you will be proud to tell your friends that you saw it first! Many thanks again, The Serious Magic Team
