Lesson One skiil 1-1

Defining Freelance Graphics Presentations


Whether you want a simple chart or the most complex presentation slide show, Freelance Graphics
allows you to creatively present information. Freelance Graphics uses a page metaphor to allow
you to build your presentation. Each complete thought or idea can be placed on a page. Several
pages make up a presentation or theme. In the illustration below, the annual sales meeting sets the
overall theme for the presentation.
Presentation

l.lur rlx uf
nrhdu4li

Illustrations, graphics, animation, and sound can all be part of a Freelance Graphics presentation.
Freelance Graphics has built-in tools that help you to create charts, tables, graphic images and text
right within the program. Elements such as these can be imported from other programs as well.

Once your presentation is complete, you must consider how you will show it to your audience.
Freelance Graphics has a feature called I'Screen Show" that will display your presentation page by
page on your computer screen. Animated transitions
can be included to take your presentation from one
page to another stylishly. You can also display your
presentation in printed form. Service bureaus and
certain printers have the proper devices to help you
print your presentation to slides, transparencies,
paper, or posters.

to save it to a permanent file on disk, you must give it a file name and location. To do this, you can
click on the Save icon in the Smartlcon palette.
File names can be no longer than eight characters and they cannot contain spaces. The Freelance
Graphics program automatically adds the ".PRE" file extension to your files.

In this skill, you will save your presentation.

Step by Step 1 Click: the Save icon


Notice: The Save As dialog box prompts you to specify a file
name and location in which to save your presentation. The
extention ".pre" is highlighted in the File name box.

When you have completed your work on a presentation and have saved it, you should close the
presentation. Closing a file when it is not currently being used will make computer memory avail-
able and keep your workspace from becoming cluttered. Closing becomes particularly useful when
you have several files open at once.

In this skill, you will close your presentation.

Changing a Palette to Black and White


Creating a presentation on a color screen can yield beautiful results. However, if all you have is a
black and white printer, the final product can be quite different than your screen display. That is
why using a black and white palette can be helpful when printing. Viewing your presentation in
black and white lets you know how it will look when it returns from a black and white printer.

In this skill, you will change the palette to black and white.

Step by Step 1 Click: the Color/Black and White button ffiffi


(at the bottom of the screen)
Notice: Every page of the Freelance Graphics presentation
became black and white.

2 Browse: the presentation


Notice: lmported graphics did not change color. Only the
graphics created in Freelance Graphics changed to black and
white.

Lesson Seven skiil 7-3
Printing a Presentation
Speakers will usually provide their audience with notes or printouts of their presentation. This is
important for you to remember if you want your audience to be able to recall what was said.
Freelance Graphics enables you to print out a full-screen page, handouts, audience notes, or speaker
notes--the rest is up to you.

In this skill, you will print one page of your presentation.

Step by Step Printing a Full page:

Click: the Print icon


Notice: The Print File dialog box appears. The current print
option is to print pages 1 to ggg. Choosing OK now would print
your entire presentation. The Full page format option is also
selected. The Full page option prints each page of the
presentation on one full page.

Select:
Note: This selection prints only the current page that is
displayed in your presentation.
