Topic 16: Creating a Slideshow for the Plasma Screens

Creating a slideshow for display on the plasma screen is easy and only takes a couple of changes made within PowerPoint.  First, let's open a PowerPoint presentation and click the design tab.

From there, click the "Page Setup" button on the far left of the screen.  This will give some options that need manipulated in PowerPoint.  The first manipulation is to change the on-screen size to 16x9.  After saying OK to this, move to the "Slide Show" tab and click "Set Up Slide Show."

 The goal here is to set the slideshow to a continuous loop.  This button box is in the middle of the page.  Slide to check the box next to "Loop Continuously" and then click "OK."

 

Finally, under the "Transitions" tab click the bubble in the bottom right corner of the ribbon next to "After" and place within 5 -8 seconds within this box.  This is how often the slide will remain on the screen before switching to the next.  This is depends on preference of the person making the slideshow.

The last thing you need to do after creating the show is to save it.  It needs to be saved in the S drive following these folders - PLASMA PRODUCTIONS  - TITLE YOU WISH.

To complete this task create a 3 slide PowerPoint that follows the rules of plasma slide show creation.  Make it something fun you can share with others.
