Learn to Use PowerPoint 2003

This comprehensive training program couldn't be easier to use – pick the topic you want to study, then sit back and watch as an expert shows you how it's done, talking you through each step as it happens on screen. Because you're watching Microsoft Powerpoint 2003 in action you'll find it much easier to remember where the cursor went, and which options to select.

STEP 1 – Choose your category . The program is divided into ‘easy to work through' chapters. Here we've chosen to learn about delivering presentations.

STEP 2 – Pick a topic . Each chapter is split into easy-to-master segments which you can study in any order.

STEP 3 – Study the basics . Read through a short description of the key points – so that you'll follow the demonstration that appears next.

STEP 4 – Watch how the experts do it! Sit back and watch as the program shows you exactly what to do. As the screen video plays, the tutor's voice talks you through each step. Watch the lesson once to get a feel for what's going on, then play it again to make sure you've remembered everything.
