Discussion:
PowerPoint is a graphics program that is especially useful for creating overhead
slides for supporting public speaking. You can print out paper copies of
the slides (either in black and white or in color) and then xerox them on
to transparencies. Similarly, if you have a color printer, you can print
the slides directly on to the transparency material. If you have an ink jet
printer, make sure to purchase ink jet slides (ink jet printing on xerox
or laser jet slides will smear).
The materials in this packet will help you to get started in PowerPoint.
PowerPoint slides can also be projected directly from your PC, if you have
access to projection equipment. Projected PowerPoint shows can contain animation
as well as video and audio clips. As you grow in expertise in presentation
graphics, you may wish to experiment with the many extra features in a program
such as PowerPoint.
