Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 New Features

Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.

This course is designed for experienced PowerPoint users who have worked with earlier versions of Microsoft Office PowerPoint, ideally Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, and who have upgraded to Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007.

Students enrolling in this course should understand how to use a version of PowerPoint, preferably 2003 or XP, and have some familiarity with the Internet. This course covers the commonly used new features for a typical user. Due to the nature of this course and the minimal prerequisites, there are other more advanced new features that are not covered in depth.
