Power Point 2000 Basics Tutorial

Power Point is an application that lets you build, print, and deliver presentations. You have several options for the delivery of a presentation, but you only have to develop it once. You can print slides (a "slide" is what Power Point calls each screen of information), print handouts, print notes pages, prepare for 35mm slides, or deliver an on-screen presentation. Only the on-screen presentation allows you to use the full range of Power Point's features.

As you develop a Power Point presentation, it is important to remember that you should not try to include every piece of information you wish to deliver. Power Point slides should contain brief, concise, descriptive phrases that will help you remember what you want to present and to serve as a reminder for your audience. The most common mistake made by novice Power Point developers is to stuff too much information on each slide.
