Microsoft PowerPoint

“Death by PowerPoint” they say, and many of us have been there.  A victim of the presenter who has just learned all the animation  and slide transition tricks, how to insert movies, images and sound effects and now intends to demonstrate  all this new found knowledge to the audience in one session.  Often resulting in the focus of the presentation being totally lost.


Yes, this series of courses will show you all the wonders of PowerPoint but also discuss how and when they should be used for best effect  What can PowerPoint be used for, how and when.

 
PowerPoint is Microsoft's presentation tool.  Largely  taking the place of the old 35mm slide projector but PowerPoint can do so much more and be so much more flexible and effective if used correctly.

By taking the basic course you will come away with enough knowledge to put together a complete presentation including Bullet points,  Charts, Tables, Organisational Charts and basic images. You will  set up the basic show options use some of the default designs and show your slides as they would be seen on screen. 

If you decide to move on to more advanced courses we will show you how to set up: Animations ,Transitions , use Triggers, insert movies and sound and create your own custom shows, we look at advanced show setup options and lots, lots more.  Once you have an understanding of these features you will be well placed to develop any required presentation with a guest speaker or without, as an entertainment model or as a  source of information the possibilities are seemingly endless
