Perhaps you want to make a PowerPoint show to along with your project but you dont really know how to do this. In this post, I am putting in a few links to places where you can go to learn about how to use PowerPoint - the first link is how to use Powerpoint version 97 to 2003. The second link is how to use PowerPoint 2007. If you dont know what version of PowerPoint you have - these pictures might help - PowerPoint 97 - 2003 looks like this picture on the right. The menu and tool bars are quite small and narrow and there is still a text menu
On the other hand - PowerPoint 2007 looks like this picture on the left. Notice that there are a lot more "visual" guides.
There are some great video tutorials on the net - In them you can learn how to do just about anything on PowerPoint. I would like to encourage you guys to visit, learn and then to practise your PowerPoint skills - it is a vital skill for anyone, but more especially for those doing Public relations or Communication studies.
But anyway, back to the links: The first link is for those people who have never used or made a presentation onf PowerPoint before. Click on the links below next to the PowerPoint opening picture. There are video and the transcripts from the videos.
The second set of links is for PowerPoint 2007 - click on the link to go to what you want to learn. These are not video tutorials, but they do have screenshots
I hope that this information helps a few people who want to be a little more creative. Stay tuned for tomorrow's installment - how to make simple movies on Windows MovieMaker!!!
