PROJECT STEPS
1. The Greenville Dance Club connects community members with dance
instructors to spark interest in joyful movement. For an upcoming Greenville
City Council meeting, you are modifying a presentation that summarizes
activities provided by the club.

On Slide 1 (“Greenville Dance Club”), format the picture of the circles:

a. Apply the Bevel Rectangle picture style.

b. Apply the Tight Reflection: Touching picture effect. [Mac Hint – Tight
Reflection, Touching.]

c. Change the Depth color to Dark Green, Background 2 (3rd column, 1st
row of the Theme Colors palette) in the 3-D Format section of the Bevel
effects options to complement the background colors.

d. Use the Format Painter to copy the formatting of the circle shape to the
three star shapes.

2. On Slide 2 (“What We Do”), insert and format connectors between the

explanatory text as follows:

a. Insert a Curved Arrow Connector starting with the middle of the last
“E” in “PEOPLE”. End the connector at the middle of the “T” in “TO” as
shown in Figure 1 on the next page. (Hint: Depending on your version of
Office, the Connector may be named Connector: Curved Arrow
instead.)
