The basics of PowerPoint slideshows
PowerPoint is a presentation graphics program that you can use to create versatile presentations. A presentation consists of slides (pages) that can contain text, drawings, diagrams, tables, and images.
This is the first chapter of the PowerPoint course series, where you will learn how to create PowerPoint presentations from scratch. You will learn to understand the logic of PowerPoint and create versatile and interesting presentations. You will also learn how to import an Excel table into your presentation and familiarize yourself with versatile printing options. However, you don't need a printer to do the exercises.
Go through the exercises attentively and then return your exercise document for approval of the performance. Remember to save your practice work right from the beginning: It would be miserable to lose all the hard work and start over.
