The course begins with the basics of creating and editing slides. Students will then progress to making those slides visually appealing with themes and colors.

The course ends with final review, adding notes and creating printable handouts, and saving the slideshow appropriately.
Introduction to creating dynamic, attractive slides
Start at the very beginning with the basics of opening, editing and saving a file. Learn to add and edit text, images and shapes to begin building the content of your presentation. Then, take your creation and make it shine with visually pleasing themes, backgrounds and fonts. Increase the appeal of your presentation even further by adding snappy transitions and animations to your slides.
More advanced modifications add class and style
Learn to add links to relevant websites, and create charts and other infographics for your business presentations. Then add interesting audio clips or relevant clips of video that play right from your slide.
Final touches to present like a pro
