The Helping Hand food bank in Denver, Colorado, is organizing its annual Thanksgiving Day Fun Run, which generates proceeds for the benefit of local food pantries. The organization’s president, Edward Dimaya, has asked you to create • a PowerPoint presentation that includes information about the event, including financial information, for potential sponsors and participants.

a. Start PowerPoint, create a new, blank presentation using any theme and variation you like, customizing the title slide with appropriate text and clip art, then save it as 0 -Fun Run Presentation in the location where you store your Data Files. (Hint: Throughout this exercise, maximize windows as necessary.)

b. Add another slide that lists important dates, including deadlines for individual registration and group registration, and the date of the event itself, then add your name to the footer of all slides except the title slide.

c. Use the Slides from Outline command to insert content from the file 0-22.docx into the presentation, after the second slide.

d. Adjust formatting as needed for the newly added slides. Insert clip art and/or photographs as desired.

e. At the end of the presentation, add a new slide with a title-only layout titled Financials, start Excel, then create a worksheet and a chart in the style of your choice that show the amount of income for the last three years and three expense categories (such as Equipment, Traffic Control, and Security).

f. Add a chart title, and format it as you wish.

g. Save the worksheet as 0 -Fun Run Financials where you store your Data Files, then copy the chart you created.

h. In PowerPoint, paste the Excel chart you copied, linked with either source or destination formatting.

i. Open the Excel file, change one of the expense figures, then update the link chart in PowerPoint.

j. Start Word, then create an informal confirmation letter to runners who have registered for the event. Write at least two short paragraphs for the letter body text, confirming that the recipient is registered for the event. Add your name at the end of the letter. Save the document as 0 -Fun Run Confirmation Letter.

k. Find an image to use as the organization’s logo, display it on the screen in another program, then capture it using Screen Clipping and insert it at the top of the letter.

I. Start a mail merge. Create a Mail Merge Recipients list in Word with at least three records. (Hint: Use the Type a New List command.) Include fields for Title, First Name, Last Name, Address 1, City, State, and ZIP Code. Save the data as 0 -Fun Run Registrations.

m. Below the heading at the top of the document, insert address block and greeting line fields. Preview your results and adjust spacing as necessary.

n. Finish the mail merge by merging to the printer, then print the second letter if your lab allows printing.

o. Close any open files, then exit all programs.
