Lynda - — Office 365- Power Point Essential Training ~repack~

PowerPoint Essential Training (Microsoft 365) course, originally from Lynda.com and now hosted on LinkedIn Learning

As a professional looking to enhance my productivity and presentation skills, I recently enrolled in Lynda's Office 365: PowerPoint Essential Training course. With over 10 hours of video content, this course promises to equip learners with the essential skills to create engaging and effective presentations using PowerPoint. In this review, I'll share my experience, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the course.

Cons:

• No Mac vs. PC differentiation: While 95% of features are identical, Office 365 for Mac is slightly behind Windows. Mac users may see different menus.
• Not for print production: If you need advanced CMYK color management for a printed booklet, look elsewhere.

g. Multimedia

• Inserting audio (background music, narration)
• Inserting video (from file, online, or embed codes)
• Trimming media, fade in/out, playback settings

She clicked the first slide. It wasn't a title. It was a black-and-white photograph of a breadline, but with a soft zoom effect that made it feel cinematic. “This is Mr. Giannini,” she said, tapping a subtle icon. A voiceover clip she’d recorded in the Recording Studio played: “I lost my savings on a Tuesday. By Friday, I was selling apples.”

b. Creating Slides

• Adding, duplicating, deleting, rearranging slides
• Slide layouts and sections
• Using Design Ideas (Designer) for automatic layout suggestions

For the next three evenings, Lynda became a student again. She learned to strip out the noise. She discovered the Morph transition and gasped when a simple map of 1914 Europe seamlessly unfolded into the borders of 1918.
