While most PowerPoint presentations consist bullet lists and titles, many also contain text that the creator of the presentation has added. The most common way to add non-bullet text to a presentation is to add a text box to the presentation and then add the text to the box.
Unfortunately, if you add text to the slide using a text box, the text will not be output using the "Save as RTF" method. Also, the text inserted via text boxes does not appear in the outline view of the presentation, so the slide looks (from the outline view) like it is empty.
BODY section at the location where this slides
should be inserted; insert this new slide at the end of the BODY
section since it is the eleventh slide in the presentation and appears after
all previously created slides.
From the sample "Human-Computer Interaction" presentation, the original PowerPoint slide 11 (see Image 38 ).
Note: All of this slide's text is in text boxes, even the title. In addition to having non-outline based text, this slide also features a hyperlink (see section 5 for information on how to convert this hyperlink). This slide also contains a transition and sound. The W3C WAI specification states that moving objects and text should be avoided if possible; this is because moving items at certain frequencies could induce seizures, and also people with cognitive disabilities may have problems viewing slides with moving text and graphics.

Note: you have already dealt with one of the text boxes - the title. In this slide, the title was placed into a text box because the slide originally (when created) was blank and did not have any elements on it.

I expect (and hope for) you to collaborate freely
amongst yourselves when discussing topics in this
class.
</p>
<p>
With this in mind, your essays and test answers
must be your answers. You may not collaborate in
any fashion (not even "can you skim this and see if I missed
anything" type e-mails)
on your essays.

Any student who violates the university's academic

Please speak with me and consult your

student handbook</a>
if you have questions and for more information.

Notice that each paragraph in the original PowerPoint slide is a separate paragraph on the HTML slide. Also, you created the hyperlink for the "student handbook" link on the slide. You can right-click the link in PowerPoint and then select "Hyperlink" and then "Edit Hyperlink" option (see Image 39 )
Now that you have completed the textual content of the slide, you can add the sound.
The next page will discuss adding the sound of this slide into your HTML slide.
