Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2021–2024: Part 2

Overview

Meetings, instruction, training, and pitches are all part of our daily lives. We are often called upon to deliver presentations with little notice, at multiple venues, and with varying requirements. And, some of these presentations include sensitive information that needs to be guarded. Given all the variables, it may seem an overwhelming task to deliver your content on time, to all audiences, and to only those who need to see it. Oh, and by the way, you need to make it interesting, informative, and memorable.

So, how do you do it? Without the help of a robust set of tools, it would be nearly impossible. But Microsoft® PowerPoint® 2021 provides you with a variety of such tools that can help you deliver content in nearly any situation, while saving time and effort. By taking advantage of these tools, you will be creating presentations that not only stand out from the crowd, but also don't consume all your available time.

This material will benefit users of any current Office version. The course environment setup is based on Office 2021.

This course covers Microsoft Office Specialist Program exam objectives to help you prepare for the PowerPoint Associate (Office 365 and Office 2019): Exam MO-300.

This course is intended for students who have a foundational working knowledge of PowerPoint 2021 and wish to take advantage of the application's higher-level usability, security, collaboration, and distribution functionality.

In this course, you will: customize design templates, add tables, add charts, work with media, build advanced transitions and animations, finalize a presentation, modify presentation navigation, and secure and distribute a presentation.

This course requires that you have Microsoft PowerPoint installed on a Windows PC. The course setup instructions provided in the first module of the course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.
