INTRODUCTION

This tutorial supplements the discussion of PowerPoint on pages 349-369 of your textbook.

After reviewing the basics of getting started in PowerPoint 2003, the tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for inserting text, images, and sounds onto slides; for formatting slides; and for enhancing slides with special features such as animation and transitions.

You can read the instructions through from beginning to end, or you can access particular sections through the table of contents at the beginning of the tutorial. In either case, try to practice the instructions as we discuss them. This will take extra time, but it’s a surefire way to learn the fundamentals of PowerPoint 2003.
