Do Re Mi in PowerPoint

I heard a story of a radio and Television. In the beginning era of modernity, a radio in a house, which was the sole resource of entertainment, was deserted when a more sophisticated TV entered the house. The story was about a personified radio’s sorrow over the cruel neglectfulness by the family members.

Why now a story like this? Because, Artculate Storyline is the in thing currently, and no one actually remembers that they had depended much on Articulate Presenter formerly. However, I don’t want to be like the unkind people of that family. Here, I have created something in PowerPoint to show my attachment to it.

Though the title suggests something I did in PowerPoint, I have achieved this effect with the help of Articulate Presenter. I know this will be an easy task in Storyline with the help of triggers. But, I wanted just to make sure that with a little effort, presenter also could do something close to Storyline. What I tried was to create the Fundamental Musical Notes (Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti) in PowerPoint. You may download the zip from the below link, and try to learn how to play a simple piano online.

If you don’t have the chalk-written fonts installed on your computer, try doing the steps which are described below. Open your MS Paint (Windows 7) and manage some blank white space.
