Description

This course is suitable for anyone who would like to produce and run professional looking slide shows. No previous experience of MS PowerPoint is required; however, it is important that those attending have a good working knowledge of other Microsoft applications e.g. MS Word or Excel.

We will look at the basics of slide content from text based slides through to inserting SmartArt, pictures, charts etc.  We will also look at formatting the slide show in a number of different ways including applying PowerPoint Design Themes. 

Once the content is complete, we will then look at adding the finishing touches to your slide show by adding Custom Animation. Learn then how to run the slide show in the most professional way possible through the use of some simple keys.
