Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 UpgradeDownload Course Outline

This is the outline of our PowerPoint 2010 Upgrade course - Duration: 1 day

With Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2010, following from PowerPoint 2007, there has been a major overhaul of the user interface and many things have changed. The menus, toolbars and task panes have been replaced by a single palette of commands called The Ribbon. This is intuitive and very powerful but different from previous versions.So when you upgrade you will be both frustrated and confused depending on your level of experience. 

This course will allay your fears and resolve your frustration with using the new software. You will learn about the new features in PowerPoint that are going to greatly increase your productivity and efficiency in using Microsoft PowerPoint 2010.

To get the best from this course you should be a reasonably competent user of PowerPoint 2003 or earlier.

We specialise on on-site training and can come to you to run our course either on your PC's or provide our own high specification equipment. If you want specific training for your staff, we're happy to customise this course to your requirements, adding or removing topics as necessary.
