PROJECT STEPS
1. As the personnel security analyst for Focux Safeguards Training, you provide
companies with their annual ID badge refresher training. You also want to
enhance the first part of your presentation.
Start by creating a custom design element on the Slide 1 title slide ("Focux
Safeguards Training") as follows:
a. Use Smart Guides to position the yellow sun shape on top of the purple
starburst shape as shown in Figure 1.
c. First select the purple starburst shape, and then select the yellow sun
shape. Merge the two shapes using the Subtract option.
d. Change the merged shape's height to 1.3". Allow the width to adjust
automatically.
e. Use Smart Guides to position the merged purple shape in the light blue
box as shown in Figure 2.
2. On Slide 2 ("Small Things Add Up"), copy and align shapes to highlight key
points as follows:
a. Copy one of the rectangular shapes, and then paste it on the same slide.
d. Select the rectangular shapes and use Align Right to align the selected
objects to each other.
3. On Slide 3 ("Refresher Briefing"), convert the numbered list into the Pyramid
List SmartArt layout as shown in Figure 4 to see if it makes the content more
noteworthy.
b. Apply the Subtle Effect SmartArt style in the Best Match for Document
section.
4. With Slide 3 still displaying, insert a hyperlink from the "Constant updates" text
to:

b. Apply the Glow: 8 point; Lavender, Accent color 6 Glow shape effect
to the turquoise rectangle.
e. Group the turquoise rectangle, the picture, and the "Quality Is Key"
shape.
a. Insert the Cube shape from the Basic Shapes section of the Shapes
gallery.
b. Resize the cube shape to a height of 3.5" and the width to 4.29".
7. With Slide 5 still displaying, show the Ruler and Guides, align the shape to the
guides as shown in Figure 6, and then hide the guides.
9. With Slide 6 still displaying, change the color of the SmartArt outline to
Turquoise, Background 2 (3rd column, 1st row in the Theme Colors palette).
10. Add slide numbers and footer text to complete your presentation as follows:
a. Insert a slide number on all slides except the title slide. (Hint: Use the
Don't show on title slide check box in the Header and Footer dialog
box.)
In Slide Sorter view, your presentation should look like the Final Figure on the following
page. Save your changes, close the presentation, and exit PowerPoint. Follow the
directions on the website to submit your completed project.
