PROJECT STEPS

1. You work for Mountain Vista State Park, an organization that oversees the maintenance of existing campgrounds in the park and the development of new campgrounds and wilderness camping areas. You have been tasked by your manager, Jamal Watson, to create a presentation about three new campground areas. Jamal informs you that this presentation will be delivered to members of the local community who are concerned about park development. Begin by reusing the slides from the file Support_PPT365_CS1-3A_Slides.pptx. Deselect the Use source formatting check box so the formatting of the reused slides matches the current presentation, then insert the slides in the same order at the end of the presentation. [Mac Hint - "Use source formatting" is not available on Mac. All slides will be added to end of presentation.]

2. Select all the slides in Slide Sorter view and change the design of the presentation to use the theme and colors that Mountain Vista State Park uses for all presentations [Mac Hint - Use Normal View when applying theme and theme colors to all slides.]:
