As much as I hate to, and as much as I've been putting it off, I have to bite the bullet and just commit myself to learning the PowerPoint program. Making pretty pictures on the computer is not my thing, but if it will help me get a good paying job, then I don't have much of a choice, I guess.

it's easy. if you can understand windows programs like word and excel, then you can understand powerpoint. it's all very intuitive and it generally works from templates anyway. invest in a $20 copy of "powerpoint for dummies" and you're good to go.

Thanks. I do have one of those books that explain how to do different Window-based programs. I'll have to use it, it definitely will help.

Power point is not to hard to work with, and I learned how to make graphs and stuff like that from it.

Cool. From what people have told me, it seems pretty easy to learn. I did take a basic PowerPoint course, but that was like 6 years ago, and I never used it. Gotta seriously learn it now.

i learned how to use it on-the-fly at work a year or two back. we had a power point project come in and i was the only person around to work on it. my boss gave me a couple of pointers then said "okay, go figure it out"...and it really wasn't much of a challenge at all. the only stuff that i find just a little tricky are things like transitions and animations, and we barely ever use that stuff anyway.

That's great that you were able to pick it up by yourself like that.

i think anyone could if it were a high-pressure/deadline situation. between the "help" function and the commands that all the MSOffice have in common, it's realy pretty easy. give yourself a couple of hours to figure it out and put a practice document together and you'll be amazed at what a piece of cake it is.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, I will do just that.

I have to give a 10 min. PowerPoint presentation on Monday. It was supposed to be Friday, but we ran out of time. I wanted to hurry up and get it over with because I have social anxiety when it comes to stuff like this. At least with PP, the focus won't be so much on me, but on the screen. So, I guess it won't be so bad. But yeah, like stated before.....it's easy to learn....you'll catch on quick.
