  • Lesson 1: Introduction to Microsoft PowerPoint 2016

    PowerPoint 2016 is a presentation creator that can be used to create stunning slideshows and basic videos. It can also be used to create slide presentations, handouts, transparencies, and much more.

  • Lesson 2: Introduction to Presentations

    If you’ve used PowerPoint before, this will be a review for you. However, for new users, this will be a very valuable lesson that will make the rest of the course easier to understand.

  • Lesson 3: Applying Themes and Layouts to Slides

    In this lesson, we’re going to talk about selecting themes and layouts to apply to your slides.

  • Lesson 4: Working with Objects

    In this lesson, we are going to give you an overview of working with objects in your presentation. We will learn how to add objects in the upcoming lessons.

  • Lesson 5: Entering, Editing, and Formatting Text

    Whenever you enter text onto a slide in PowerPoint, you enter it into a text object that’s already created for you in slide layouts – or into a text box that you create yourself.

  • Lesson 6: Working in Outline View

    Most presentations that are created are composed of slide after slide of bulleted lists. For presentations like these, the Outline View makes it easier for you to focus on your points and subpoints.

  • Lesson 7: Proofing Presentations

    With all this talk about text in presentations, it’s also important to learn how to proof your presentations for typos and other types of errors. PowerPoint 2016 offers you three tools to do this: Spell Check, the thesaurus, and AutoCorrect.

  • Lesson 8: Notes

    You can use notes to write down what you need to say during the presentation or even use notes as reminders for things you need to add, subtract, or edit on your slides.

  • Lesson 9: Inserting Pictures, Graphics, Shapes, and Other Things

    Anytime you want to insert anything into your presentation, whether it’s a picture, hyperlink, or graphic, chances are good you’ll find the appropriate button under the Insert tab.

  • Lesson 10: Inserting Tables into Presentations

    Tables are simply a grid arranged into columns and rows. You can use tables to do complex page layout operations that almost rival expensive professional publishing programs like Adobe InDesign.

  • Lesson 11: Charts and SmartArt

    SmartArt is a quick and convenient way to create a visual representation of the information in your presentation.

  • Lesson 12: Adding Sound and Video

    Now that you know how to put together and design a presentation, it’s time to learn how to add audio and video.

  • Lesson 13: Adding Transitions and Animation

    In this lesson, we’re going to learn how to add transitions and animations to your slides.

  • Lesson 14: Master Slides

    Masters control every little aspect of the slide’s appearance, from background color, objects that you want to appear on every slide, and text that you want to appear on every slide.

  • Lesson 15: Printing and Running Slide Shows

    Now that you’ve created your presentation, it’s time to get it ready to share with others – then to present it to the people who want or need to see it.

  • Lesson 16: Saving, Sharing, and Exporting Presentations

    In this lesson, we’re going to discuss the different ways to share and collaborate.
