This training course is for complete beginners, and for people who have very limited experience with Microsoft PowerPoint.

- Work with and format text and images.
- Use the various editing views.
- Insert and work with SmartArt, Clip Art, images and animations.

By the end of the course, you will be an advanced PowerPoint user and able to:
- Use Slide Masters to ensure your formatting is always consistent, and speed up the creation of new presentations.
- Enhance images using Picture Style, Picture Effects and Artistic Effects.
- Import objects from other Microsoft Office packages (for example a graph from Microsoft Excel) into your presentation.
- Import audio files and video clips into your presentation, edit them and compress them to ensure that your PowerPoint files do not become too big.
If you already have a good working knowledge of these parts of PowerPoint, this is not the right course for you.
