My computer crashed when I tried to insert clip art - it was the only file open. Why did this happen?

Hi Sally

Thank you for your question.

As there are many reasons why a computer might crash at a certain point, it is difficult to pinpoint why this might have happened. All I can recommend is making sure you save your presentation regularly in case your computer does crash. Using Ctrl + S will save changes; I would make it a habit to use this every few minutes while you are working on a presentation.

I hope this helps.

Powerpoint tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
