Chapter 21. Looking Beyond the Basics

In this chapter

• Explore some of PowerPoint's advanced features

• Find out how to add special programs to enhance PowerPoint

• Learn how and where you can find more information about PowerPoint, from basic help to advanced features

As you've learned throughout this book, PowerPoint is a powerful and wonderfully flexible communication tool. Nearly everything covered in this book can be accomplished quickly, easily, and with the software and tools you have at hand.

But this is an Absolute Beginner's Guide. Beyond what you've learned already, there are also many other useful features and capabilities that you can use in or with PowerPoint. In some cases, this book doesn't cover them because they're not often used or their use is very specific and limited. However, some very useful additional features are advanced because they require special network setups, the acquisition of additional software or hardware, or subscription to specialized services.

This chapter explores some of these features, describing what they do, what's required to use them, and some suggestions about where you can find additional help or resources.
