Financial Planning Advice  

Credit card debt is at an all-time high, and many people are nearing retirement age with inadequate savings. Many students at your school have asked their instructors and members of the Accounting Club for advice on helping them gain financial security. To assist these students, the Accounting Club members have decided to prepare a PowerPoint presentation to show to these students. They have given you the outline shown in Figure 1. You create the text for the presentation on the Outline tab, and you decide to add animation effects to the slide show. The completed slides are shown in Figure 2.

Instructions: Perform the following tasks.

Using Figure 2 as a reference, insert the dollar clip art shown, scale it to 105%, and then drag it to the upper-right corner of the slide.

•  Add the current date and your name to the outline header. Include Accounting Club and the page number in the outline footer.

•  Animate the clip on Slide 1 using the Spin Emphasis custom animation effect, the clip on Slide 2 using the Fly In Entrance effect, and the clip on Slide 3 using the Box Entrance effect. Do not animate the clip on Slide 4.

•  Save the presentation to your Powerpoint Project 2 Folder using the file name, Lab 2-2 Financial Future.
