PowerPoint 2007/2010 Upgrade (1 Day)

During this course we'll take a look at these differences, including, the new fluent interface, themes and quick styles, custom slide layouts, designer-quality SmartArt graphics, new and improved effects, new text options, and much more.

Course Outline

The release of Office 2007 brought a major change in the way PowerPoint presentations are made. With the new Ribbon interface both Office 2007 and 2010 approach many tasks, even the simplest ones, in a new way. If you’re comfortable with older versions of PowerPoint, you may find yourself floundering for some time before you can become proficient in these new versions. Why not save yourself time and trouble by taking this course and getting Computer Help to show you how to transition to the new Office, rather than having to figure it out on your own?

We have not received any reviews specific to this course as yet, however here are some reviews of the training vendor.

   

Well run, good pace given that all three versions of Project had to be covered simultaneously.

Perhaps give option for 1/2 hour lunch as not familiar with area and just passing time during the break.

Reviewed by Robin M. 2012

   

I think the intermediate course could be taught in 1 day rather than 2

The instructor, Katie Geoghan was phenomenal. Her energy and level of expertise were wonderful. This is the best class I have ever attended and I learned so much from it.

Too much material to cover, did not really learn what I went for. One hour is way too long a break, especially since you can't work on your own, you need the instructor to be present. We went to learn, not eat.

I was extremley impressed with the Instructor, Katie Geoghegan. Katie was very outgoing and easy to talk to. No questions was a "stupid" question. She went thru the course manual step by step. She made sure that everyone understood what they were doing before we moved on. She was very pleasant thru out the day. I walked out of that cours feeling very confident.

I had no previous exposure to Pivot Tables and was a bit apprehensive at the start of the course, however the presenter made it really easy to grasp the concepts and made sure I was learning at the same pace as the rest of the class, which I really appreciated!

Material covered too quickly. No opportunity for exercises.

I had already filled out an evaluation for this course at the end of the course so I am not sure why I have to do it again???

Reviewed by Cathy M. 2011

   

Instructor needs to use breath mints. As to the course, it's understood that there was a great deal to cover in two short days. However, I did feel we didn't have enough time to work with individual elements (through exercises) to get a solid personal grasp. It's one thing to listen to someone talk about a procedure. You do not learn until you have a chance to do it. Also, we weren't given a final exercise of designing a simple page to try to bring together all the material presented.

Reviewed by Terry G. 2011

   

A lot of information to cover in one day. Maybe 2 days would be better to adsorb info and have more for excerises. The handout was not easy to read as it was very small font and the print was too light/faded (almost like it needed a new toner).
