Course description

In this course, Productivity experts Leeanne McManus and Kari Hoien give a closer look at the fundamentals of using PowerPoint, including utilizing and navigating different views such as slide-sorter view. They will discuss formatting typical objects and reveal how formatting options may be different from other programs you may be used to using.
