Learn what
you need in the next 10 minutes
with short, focused PowerPoint "How-To" videos
Looking
for
some help on how to do a specific task
in PowerPoint? Don't want to try to dig through the "help"
feature or look it up in the millions of sites returned in a Google
search? Don't want an overly technical explanation that tries
to
teach you way more than you will ever use? Want practical
"how-to" videos that show you just what you need to know?
You've come to the right place!
Below
are a
collection of short, specific videos
that cover only one topic each. Which is all you are looking for. You
already know the basics of PowerPoint, you just need to know how to do
that one thing. You don't need a full-day course or 400+ page book or
multi-hour DVD. You need a 2-8 minute video right now!
The list is sorted by category,
so you can quickly locate the topic you want. When you find the video
you are
looking for, just click on the Add to Cart
link. Keep adding the videos you need and, when you are
done, you'll pay
just $1.99
per video through PayPal and immediately download the videos.
"I have purchased 14
videos, down loaded
same...and have watched 2 already.
These are wonderful! My
presentations will improve considerably."
Dick
Kunzig, Business Development Manager
Every video is in
Windows Media Video format, so it plays in almost any media player,
including Windows Media Player. You can pause the video at any time and
switch over to PowerPoint to complete your work with your new
knowledge. Since you will have the video on your computer, you can
review it at any time. See how easy it is by downloading the
free video on adding graphs.
For less than two bucks you'll
have solved your
problem and be back on track in less than 10 minutes. Find the video
you need now and get back to work! If the topic you are looking for
isn't here, click
here to e-mail me and I'll try to get to it soon (no promises
on when :) ). Note that some videos are listed more than once
because they fit in more than one category.
There are also longer videos on the following topics: 1) creating
calendar visuals to show date based information, 2) creating and
showing screen capture images effectively, including zooming in to make
it easy to see, 3) how to break up a single graphic image so that you
can build it piece-by-piece on your slide, 4) how to find photos for
your slide in the PowerPoint library and in online stock photography
sites, and 5) how to integrate content from Word, Excel, PDF and other
programs into your presentation smoothly. You can learn more
about these videos here.
To learn more on how to create and deliver an effective web
presentation using WebEx, GoToMeeting, LiveMeeting or any online
meeting service, check out my video here.
