You are helping Silver River's chief engagement specialist create a presentation for soft skills workforce training. Start by formatting the presentation as follows:

a. Change the Theme Colors to Orange to match company branding.

b. On Slide 1 ("Silver River Career Consultants"), resize the picture to 13.33" wide so that it covers the entire width of the slide.

Certainly! To provide step-by-step instructions, I'm going to assume you are using Microsoft PowerPoint as it's one of the most commonly used presentation software. Please note that depending on the version of PowerPoint you're using, the steps might slightly vary. Here's how you would format the presentation:

**a. Change the Theme Colors to Orange to match company branding.**

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation.
2. Navigate to the "Design" tab in the PowerPoint ribbon.
3. In the "Variants" group on the right, click on the "More" button, which looks like a small downward arrow with a line over it.
4. From the drop-down menu, click on "Colors", and then at the bottom of the submenu, select "Customize Colors...".
5. In the "Create New Theme Colors" dialog, choose the elements you want to change (such as "Accent 1", "Accent 2", etc.).
6. Select the orange color that matches the company branding for each element you wish to change. You might need the RGB or HEX code for the company's specific shade of orange.
7. Once you've changed all the desired elements to orange, at the bottom of the dialog box, give your new color theme a name (e.g., "Silver River Orange") and then click "Save".

**b. On Slide 1 ("Silver River Career Consultants"), resize the picture to 13.33" wide so that it covers the entire width of the slide.**

1. Click on Slide 1 in the presentation.
2. Select the picture that you wish to resize. If it's a background picture, you may need to go to the "Format Background" pane to adjust the size.
3. Once selected, you should see the "Picture Format" tab in the ribbon. If not, and it's a regular image, the "Format" tab should appear.
4. Look for the "Size" group on the right side of the ribbon.
5. Click on the width field to highlight the current value and type in "13.33". Ensure that the "Lock aspect ratio" checkbox is selected to keep the proportions of the picture intact, which will automatically adjust the height.
- If you cannot find the width in inches directly, you may first have to go to the "Size and Position" dialog box by clicking on the small arrow in the corner of the "Size" group. From there, you can input the width.
6. After resizing, reposition the image as necessary so it covers the entire width of the Slide 1.

These steps should help you in formatting the presentation according to the requirements provided. If the team uses a different presentation software, please let me know, and I can adjust the instructions accordingly.
