‘How to’ Leaflet

In this we will be covering links to audio clips via hyperlinks; using scanner

pictures; and why open standards are important.

Hyper linking

• The easiest way of hyper linking is via a web address. i.e. www.google.com

• As you can see, the text has changed colour and is underlined.

• To activate it hold control and click it.• There are plenty of video/music websites that

will stream free music. All you have to do is write their address and your away.

• www.youtube.com is one example

Inserting a music hyperlink into a PowerPoint

• Firstly, click on the insert tab.• Now go to hyperlink• Existing file or webpage• Browse for the file/webpage you want.• Click OK• Alternatively you can go to the movie and

sound section which is as self explanatory.

Using Source Pictures

• Source pictures generally are quite large because they contain a lot of data, especially if they are high quality.

• To cope with this size, you can compress the file or lower the quality of the photo/music/video.

Open Standards

• Open standards refers to the standards of something open to the public. These may not have as high standards as closed standards because a private program or client based program may have sponsors or methods of payment so the quality may be better because the experts are drawn to pay roles.

• This means that when using free programs or websites that the quality of information/performance may not be as good/effective as a program you might have to pay for. Also, free programs have a higher tendency to carry viruses.
