Description

This hands-on workshop is for those who have never done a PowerPoint slide show before. PowerPoint can be as simple as coloring by the numbers or as complex as an Impressionistic painting. Fortunately, PowerPoint 2010 [the version we will be using] comes with pre-designed templates for a variety of uses.
In the workshop we will cover:
Part I. Name the Parts
Part 2. Getting Help in Different Ways
Part 3. Making a Simple Slide Show
