MO-310 flashcards
MO-310 · Build recall with a focused review session.
32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Widescreen slide dimensions
- PowerPoint's default 16:9 slide size is 13.333 inches wide by 7.5 inches high; the classic 4:3 size is 10 inches by 7.5 inches.
- Ensure Fit versus Maximize
- When you change slide size, Maximize scales content up to fill the new slide, while Ensure Fit scales content down so nothing falls outside the slide edges.
- Document Inspector
- A File > Info > Check for Issues tool that finds and removes comments, speaker notes, off-slide objects, and personal information before you share a presentation file.
- Mark as Final command
- Sets a presentation to read-only and displays a notice that it is final; anyone can restore editing by choosing Edit Anyway when reopening the file.
- Custom Slide Show
- A saved subset of slides shown in a chosen order without deleting the others; create it from Slide Show > Custom Slide Show and run it separately from the full show.
- Kiosk browsing setup
- The Browsed at a kiosk show type runs unattended in a continuous loop, advances using recorded timings, and restarts after being idle for five minutes by default.
- Handout Master
- A View tab master that controls printed handout orientation and how many slide thumbnails appear per page: one, two, three, four, six, or nine.
- Insert new slide shortcut
- Ctrl+M adds a slide immediately after the currently selected slide, and the new slide inherits the same layout as the slide that was selected.
- Reset slide command
- Home > Reset restores placeholders to the position, size, and formatting defined by the slide layout, but keeps any text already typed into them.
- Slide sections
- Named groups of consecutive slides created by right-clicking a thumbnail; sections can be collapsed, renamed, moved, or removed and appear in Slide Sorter view.
- Reuse Slides option
- Home > New Slide > Reuse Slides imports slides from another presentation, and a checkbox decides whether the source theme's formatting is kept or replaced.
- Hide Slide
- Marks a slide to be skipped during a slide show while keeping it in the file; the thumbnail appears dimmed and the slide stays reachable by hyperlink.
- Slide Zoom
- Insert > Zoom creates clickable thumbnails that jump to a specific slide or section, letting a presenter move through a deck in non-linear order.
- Format Painter
- Copies formatting from a selected object or text range to another object; double-click the brush to keep pasting that formatting onto multiple targets until you press Escape.
- Fragment in Merge Shapes
- A Shape Format merge option that cuts overlapping shapes into separate pieces wherever their outlines intersect, preserving every resulting region as its own shape.
- Crop to Shape
- Picture Format > Crop > Crop to Shape masks an image with a chosen shape such as an ellipse or arrow, trimming the picture to fit that outline.
- Remove Background tool
- A Picture Format command that guesses the subject, then lets you mark areas to keep or remove; choosing Keep Changes makes the background deletion permanent.
- Shrink text on overflow
- An autofit setting that reduces font size when text exceeds its placeholder; the alternative, Resize shape to fit text, enlarges the shape instead.
- Selection Pane
- Home > Select > Selection Pane lists every object on a slide so you can rename, hide, or reorder them; items lower in the list sit further back.
- Alt text for images
- A description read aloud by screen readers, added through Edit Alt Text; marking an object as decorative removes it from the accessibility reading order instead.
- Embedded chart workbook
- Each PowerPoint chart stores its numbers in an Excel workbook embedded inside the file; Chart Design > Edit Data opens it and the chart updates from those cells.
- Switch Row/Column
- A Chart Design command that swaps which values are plotted as series and which are plotted as categories, without editing the underlying worksheet data.
- Secondary axis in combo charts
- When a combo chart mixes chart types, checking Secondary Axis plots one series against a separate right-hand value scale suited to very different magnitudes.
- SmartArt Text Pane
- A panel for typing SmartArt content; press Tab to demote a bullet and Shift+Tab to promote it, and the graphic redraws automatically as levels change.
- Convert SmartArt to shapes
- SmartArt Design > Convert to Shapes turns a diagram into ordinary shapes; pressing Ungroup twice exposes each individual shape and its text box for separate formatting.
- Video Poster Frame
- The still image displayed before a video plays; set it from the current video frame or from an image file using Video Format > Poster Frame.
- Transition versus animation
- A transition is the effect applied when a slide enters during a show; an animation is an effect applied to an individual object on a slide.
- Apply To All transitions
- A Transitions tab button that copies the current transition effect, its duration, and its timing settings to every slide in the presentation at once.
- Morph transition
- A transition that animates objects between two slides by matching them, so a shape, picture, or word appears to move and resize as the slide changes.
- Animation Start options
- On Click waits for a mouse click; With Previous runs alongside the previous effect; After Previous begins automatically once the previous effect finishes playing.
- Animation Painter
- Copies every animation from a selected object onto another object; double-click the tool to apply it repeatedly to more objects until you press Escape.
- Animation trigger
- Set in the Animation Pane, a trigger starts an effect only when a specified object is clicked, rather than on a slide click or after a timed delay.
