Mircrosoft Word and PowerPoint

I would consider myself quite experienced with word. I am familiar with many of the functions the programm can perfrom simply becasue of the amount of time i have used the program. I breezed through the first part of the tutorial, however the section on mail merging was challenging. It was a little bit of a challenge to find the right menu as my version of word uses a wizard for the mail merge section. I worked my way through on my own and completed the tutorial. I think that it was a great tutorial because I will definately use what I have learnt.

The tutorial task concerned with microsoft powerpoint was both rewarding and challenging. Our task was to complete a presentation surrounding our hobbies, aspirations and favourite foods. Initially, the task was quite simple, however I did come across several words that weren't on the programme and i got 'stuck'. After learning about exaclty how to insert pictures into the slides and getting photographs off the internet and down loading photo's from my digital camera I discovered problems inserting the photographs into the slideshow. Oonce i discovered the solution of finding exactly how to insert the photographs it became rather easy.

It has been a while since i've used powerpoint and when i did use powerpoint i was never extremely confident within the prgram and only undestood it's basic functions. However, now I can effectively create a slide show using text and pictures that looks professional. I found these tutorial taks to be quite rewarding and even though the functions I learnt are quite basic they are fundamental to creating a slideshow. Since, i have somewhat 'mastered' these techniques i believe they will help me incrediably in the future as University will require several powerpoint presentations.
