PowerPoint Tutorials and Tips, Part 2

Here is my second post of the PowerPoint Tutorials and Tips at ellenfinkelstein.com, describing how to harness Powerpoint power to make compelling and memorable presentations. It is the ease of use and sophistication of Powerpoint that has made it a popular visual aid to help better explain ideas and concepts of almost any topic. (Here is the first part of the Powerpoint material from this site.)

2 Video PowerPoint 2007 Tutorials

Here are 2 Video Tutorials for PowerPoint 2007, from HP’s Learning Center. The first one shows you how to create a slide master and the second one teaches you how to customize PowerPoint’s user interface.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007: Create a New Slide Master

Learn how to create master slides in PowerPoint to add or change design elements and formatting in presentations. (2:43) Video

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 gives you the option of creating your own master slides, which allow you to add or change design elements and formatting within presentations. A slide master is a single, controlling slide behind the scenes that specifies how slides appear all the way through your presentation. When you make changes to a slide master, they’re applied universally to the presentation. A slide master is part of a template — it stores information by using placeholders. We’ll also demonstrate how to add a new placeholder to a master slide. You can use multiple slide masters within a presentation or simply use a single slide master that contains multiple layouts.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007: Customize the PowerPoint Interface

This video tutorial will show and teach you how to change options and customize the interface to find the toolbars and functions you need most. (4:44) Video

PowerPoint is a powerful, customizable tool for creating presentations. Before you create a PowerPoint presentation, you might want to customize the interface to make it easier for you to find the toolbars and functions you need most. In this demonstration you’ll learn how to change options and customize the interface.
