Serving as both a training guide for Microsoft PowerPoint and a study guide for the PowerPoint certification exam, Microsoft PowerPoint Introduction and Certification Study Guide is an indispensable resource for PowerPoint users at every level of expertise. Starting with the essentials and building to more complicated steps, each chapter breaks one of five essential PowerPoint skill sets into manageable pieces. These are the exact skills measured by the exam, but the logical skill progression benefits all PowerPoint users and prepares you to create effective and compelling presentations. Concise steps and descriptions make the information easy to follow and remember. Clearly labeled screenshots and images clarify important PowerPoint features without being overwhelming. Those taking the exam will find practical tips on how to locate a testing center, register for the exam, and get the best score possible, along with study materials including practice exam software and video tutorials for every outcome in the book. Whether you are looking to develop your PowerPoint skills or to positively impact your school or work life through certification, Microsoft PowerPoint Introduction and Certification Study Guide can help you do both. Why certification is important Microsoft PowerPoint Certification is an easily verifiable way to showcase your willingness to learn new skills and software, and it provides a myriad of other benefits as well. Not only can certification enhance your PowerPoint skills, it can help get you hired, boost academic performance, prepare for the demands of the job, open doors to career opportunities, and be more productive and confident working on projects at school, home, or work. Microsoft PowerPoint (Microsoft 365 Apps and Office 2019) certification is the first step to prove your skill level and open doors to career opportunities.

This is the only book that will help an intermediate PowerPoint user improve their skills to an advanced level. In doing so, they can benefit both professionally and personally. This is not a comprehensive book that will bore you with every detail of PowerPoint, but a guide to specific actions you can take to create the ultimate presentation. The book covers the powerful formatting engine new to PowerPoint 2007, and how it can be used for applying soft shadows, reflection, and glows to make a presentation look attractive. It also covers PowerPoint's new 3D engine. The book goes into deep technical detail about the Office 2007 theme engine and how color schemes, effect schemes, and font schemes work; as well as the new PowerPoint XML file format, showing you how to edit PowerPoint files without using PowerPoint at all. The authors walk through programming a macro and explain how to format shapes, diagrams, charts, text, tables with gradient and picture fills and different kinds of lines (e.g. a beveled compound line with a diamond arrowhead). Also covered are those all important slide show shortcuts that few people know about like -- seeing your private notes while presenting on a projector, starting the slide show from the current slide without fumbling through the user interface, and how to black out the slide show screen with one key press.
