Let’s be frank: After all these years, PowerPoint still frustrates us left and right as we try to create engaging and effective slides. This session will address the most common problems and failings in the industry standard presentation program and provide practical solutions and workarounds to save you hours of wasted time and trips to Google asking, “Can PowerPoint do this…”

Participants will learn how to:

• Customize your UI so you never again go hunting for needed tools
• Manage file size
• Avoid lo-res images and squished logos
• Create team bio pages in seconds
• Banish Arial and Calibri and use professional fonts with confidence
• Make use of game-changing third party plug-ins
• Avoid and solve the dreaded missing Excel chart message
• And much more!
