The Absolute Minimum

Here are the key points to remember from this chapter:

• You use Microsoft PowerPoint to create slides, overhead transparencies, and electronic slideshow presentations.

• The look and feel of your entire presentation is defined by the design template you choose.

• Each slide you insert can have a different layout, depending on its function.

• A slide can include text, bullets, pictures, and charts.

• When you're presenting an electronic slideshow, add transitions between each slide.
