 PowerPoint Presentations

AuxMan Game
The AuxMan Game was developed by District 8WR as a tool for fun review and training on the Auxiliary Manual, M16790.1F.  It consists of 3 PowerPoint slideshows.  Two slideshows contain 6 columns of major categories with 30 options (questions) to select from, a total of 60 questions.  The 3rd slideshow contains the final question.

In order for the hyperlinks to work properly when moving from one slideshow to the next, all the files below must be placed in the same folder on any drive of your computer i.e. name the folder AuxMan Game.

Start with the file for PowerPoint Slideshow 1.  Advance to the next slideshow by clicking on the rectangle (blue or red) in the lower right corner of the slide.

Click on a dollar amount and a slide will appear with a statement.  Click on the statement slide and a slide with the answer will appear.  Then click on the blue square in the lower right corner to return to the main slide for another statement.

Certificate of Appreciation from the A Department in National

  •  template (MS Word) - Note - when printing, some members have experienced an illegible certificate with the entire document printing in black.  This seems to be atypical of the Hewlett-Packer printer but not limited solely to this brand.  In testing, the Dell printer did not experience this problem.  The entire certificate printed, including background, as it appeared on the screen.
  • template (Adobe Acrobat fill-in)  No report of printing problems using this software.  Note - be sure to set your printer setting to "landscape".
