The Show
Playing Slide Shows in the cafeteria on Â鶹ÊÓƵ has many advantages, and probably the most recognized one is raising awareness. It is actually quite common to come across a presentation providing information about on campus sporting events, theatrical performances by the college accompanied by a listing of show times, and facts explaining why it is important to return Gustie Ware to the cafeteria.
Creating a Slide Show Presentation
Creating a slide show for dining services is relatively simple after one understands how the Televisions work in the cafeteria. The TVs are set to an application similar to the slide show screen saver applications found on computers. This means that the slide shows can only display pictures and not Power Point Presentations. The method then is simply to save the slides of your current Power Point Presentations as pictures, and send those to dining services.
How to Save Slides as Pictures (Windows)
- Open the desired Power Point Presentation
- Select the first slide on the thumbnail view of the slides on the left hand side of the screen.
- if the thumbnail view is not visible, select "view" on the menu bar at the top of the screen, and scroll to slide sorter.
- From here, select the Microsoft Office Icon in the upper leftmost corner of the screen
- if using a Microsoft Office older than 2007, select "File" from the menu bar
- Click "Save As", and a screen should appear asking for the name and file type in which you want to save your slide.
- Type in a name which you find relevant for the slide show, and then scroll down to either a GIF, PNG, or JPG as a file type (JPG is recommended).
- After you click save, Power Point will display an option to export the entire slide show as individual images.
- If you wish for the entire slide show to be played on the TVs, select the "Every Slide" button. However if you only wish to have certain slides appear, you will have to manually save them slide by slide. You could also select the "Every Slide" button, and then manually go through the images and delete the undesired slides.
