Option A: Design plates is not a standard term used in PowerPoint for presentation designs.

Option A: The title master is used to customize the appearance of slide titles in the slide master view, not for handouts.
Option B: The slide master is used to customize the overall layout and design of slides in the presentation.

Therefore, the correct answer in this context is Option C: The handout master.

Lines, curve, freeform, and scribble are types of drawing tools available in PowerPoint. They allow users to create custom shapes and paths directly on slides.

Option C: Predefined entrance and exit effects are animation effects applied to objects when they enter or exit a slide during a presentation.
Option D: All of the above is incorrect because Options A and C do not accurately describe lines, curve, freeform, and scribble as drawing tools.
Therefore, the correct answer in this context is Option B: Types of custom motion paths.

In PowerPoint 2002 (and later versions), comments on a presentation can automatically record who wrote them and when they were added using Option B: Use comments. Comments in PowerPoint allow collaborators to add feedback, suggestions, or notes directly onto specific slides or elements within the presentation.

Option C: Use the notes page is used for adding speaker notes or additional information related to the slides but does not automatically record comments with user details.
Option D: All of the above is incorrect because while Options A and C are related to collaboration and notes, they do not specifically address the automatic recording of comments with user details.
Therefore, the correct answer in this context is Option B: Use comments.

To play a PowerPoint show for previewing, you would select Option C: View, slide show. This option allows you to view the presentation in full screen mode, exactly as it will appear when presented to an audience.
Option A: View, slide sorter displays all slides in miniature form, allowing you to rearrange their order, but does not play the show.
Option B: View, slide shows individual slides in editing mode, not in full-screen presentation mode.
Option D: View outline displays the presentation in outline form, showing slide titles and main points.
Therefore, the correct answer in this context is Option C: View, slide show.

The best place to find animated images for a PowerPoint 2002 presentation is Option A: Microsoft online. Microsoft provides a wide range of animated clipart and images that can be directly accessed and inserted into PowerPoint presentations via their online platform.
Option B: Word clipart primarily refers to static images and clipart available within Microsoft Word, which may not include animated options.
Option C: PowerPoint tools and ins (assuming it refers to PowerPoint tools and add-ins) generally enhance functionality or provide additional features rather than specifically offering animated images.
Option D: All of the above is incorrect because while Microsoft online could provide animated images, Options B and C do not typically provide animated images directly.
Therefore, the correct answer in this context is Option A: Microsoft online.

To apply varied animations to text on slides in PowerPoint, the easy way is to use Option B: apply an animation scheme. Animation schemes in PowerPoint allow you to apply predefined animations to all or selected elements on your slides, providing a quick and consistent way to add animations.
Option A: apply effects in the custom animation text pane refers to manually applying animations and effects to individual elements using the custom animation pane, which is more detailed and specific than applying animation schemes.
Option C: customize bullets with animated clipart is not directly related to applying varied animations to text on slides; it focuses on customizing bullet points with animated clipart, which is a different feature.
Option D: all of above is incorrect because Options A and C do not accurately describe applying varied animations to text using animation schemes.
Therefore, the correct answer in this context is Option B: apply an animation scheme.
