Task 3: What is the pattern? [10 mins]

How to use the countdown timers1. In PP2007 files, the timers can only be linked and not embedded, but if

you save as PP2000-2003 or save as PP2010 then the timers should work on any computer if you save them to USB or email them to someone else.

2. To use, just copy and paste the slide you want into your PP presentation and then add title/text/pictures as necessary.

3. The timers cannot be cropped but can be resized or moved around.

4. Often you won’t see them in the PP until you are in slideshow view.

5. If a security alert pops up when you start the slideshow, you must enable macros.
