Preparing Patriotic Presentations with PowerPoint (and this step-by-step animation and music tutorial series)

Posted on 17:18 by Unknown

The Fire Hose - Step-by-step tutorial showcases PowerPoint’s patriotic animation effects

If you’ve always wanted to amp up your PowerPoint presentations, Microsoft MVP Sandra Johnson can help you with a step-by-step tutorial that covers how to animate shapes and text to create a customizable slide with background music that happens to coincide with the Nov. 11 Veterans Day holiday.

As the PowerPoint Blog reports, Johnson is “a wiz at creating animated greeting cards in PowerPoint, and now she's sharing her secrets …The patriotic theme of the tutorial presentation is one that most anyone can reuse, and you can always replace the message with your own. What's important are the hands-on animation techniques that you'll learn and be able to use in other presentations.”
