What I Learned About Powerpoint

2008-01-08T12:02:00.000-08:00

What I learned about powerpoint is how to browse through and see the slides separately. I already knew how to make slideshows and how to view them, but I didn't now there was a button that you press and it turns to a slideshow. I also didn't know you could see the slideshows as an outline. It's actually been a long time since I haven't made a slideshow so I don't really remember how to use it that well, but I still remember how to do the basic stuff.
