If you want to create a basic presentation with slides, add text and speaker’s notes to each slide, then this session can help you. You will also learn how to move around your presentation using some of the different views.
You can change the look of your slides using a standard Master Slide, for example, change a bullet list, logo or colour on the Master Slide and it will appear on all the slides in the presentation.
This session will show you how to add images and SmartArt to your slide. You will also learn how to run your presentation whilst adding a hyperlink to your website and appropriate animation and pleasing transitions.
This course is only available as a one-to-one or private group booking.
