To make this transition apply to all slides,
click "Apply to all"

note you can change the speed of the transition and whether a sound is played or not from the same panel by selecting from "Transition Sound" or "Transition Speed" as appropriate.

Slides can be advanced manually or automatically. If you specify a time in mins:secs, the slide will advance after that time.

Important:
Select an object on a slide e.g. the bullet points
Now the Animate drop down list
change from "No Animation" to any other option.
Note that when you view the slide show, the individual points appear one by one instead of everything appearing on the slide at once.

To achieve even more control over how the elements appear and disappear on screen select
"Custom Animation" and explore the options in the Custom Animation panel.

Week 8 - Class 3

Today's class is an exercise to practice what has been learned over the past 3 weeks. Please make sure to save all files used in the exercise as they make up part of your continuous assessment. I would suggest saving everything in a new folder.

The excercise should be completed and handed up in class on Wed November 19th

Part 1
Write a paper using the appropriate title below:
Group X) "The importance of warming up and stretching".
Group Y) "Getting fit - how and why it's important to start slowly"

Research the topic first, building up an EndNote library of references. (The name of the library should be your student number)

Write your paper using the Harvard Method.
Save this file as _PaperPart1

Part 2
Have another classmate comment on you paper by exchange papers with a member of the other group via Email. Ensure that the comments are electronic and that the person commenting uses their own name as initials. When you get back this file save it as _PaperPart2

Part 3
Have another classmate edit your paper (with track changes turned on and their full name as initials). Do this by exchanging papers with a member of the other group via Email. Ensure that the changes are TRACKED electronically and that the person commenting uses their own name as initials. When you get back this file save it as _PaperPart3

Part 4
Make a copy of the file from part3. Name it _PaperPart4
Compare the file from Part1 with this new file and accept / reject changes as appropriate

Summary
You should end up with 4 Word files and 1 EndNote Library file. The research that you do for this essay will be the basis of a later class presentation.
