PowerPoint Video Tutorials

It goes without saying that your PowerPoint should be professionally designed. Nothing screams "not ready for manager" louder than a garish PowerPoint that shows little understanding of visual literacy or the needs of a live audience. To that end, here are PowerPoint design tutorials that provide some of the basics. The first set is limited to the use of PowerPoint 2007. The second set covers earlier versions of PowerPoint but provides more extensive instruction on PowerPoint principles that can be used with any version.
