Introduction

This guide offers PowerPoint beginners an easy and helpful guide for learning the fundamentals of PowerPoint so that you too can create your own presentations. It also serves as a ready reference tool of reminders for the multitude of basic functions and procedures as you explore the vast capabilities of PowerPoint. You will find that PowerPoint has nearly unlimited multi-media capabilities and the only limitations are you and your computer.

PowerPoint has the capability to create complete presentations that include:

  • Slides,
  • Outlines,
  • Speaker's Notes,
  • and Audience Handouts
- each one generated by creating any of the others. You can create a set of slides and PowerPoint will create the outline, speaker's notes and handouts. All you have to do is put the finishing touches on each one.

You don't have to create each one individually, thus repeating your efforts and being concerned about continuity. PowerPoint lends itself to creating presentations according to how you prefer to work - with graphics, with written outlines, with cutting and pasting objects, with almost any style using almost any multi-media resource.
