PowerPoint Resources for the Corporate Communicator
Any corporate communicator can attest to the demand for PowerPoint expertise. Everything from presentations to graphic documents are created on PowerPoint, and not knowing how to navigate it like a pro could cripple your career. Here are a few great resources for amping your skillset:
8. DVD Show - Allows you to convert PowerPoint presentations to MPEG’s
9. Slide Rocket - A web-based alternative to Power Point (think Slide Share meets Power Point)
10. How to insert Flash into PowerPoint
12. PowerPoint ‘07 for starters: The Missing Manual
Note: These resources are not meant to perpetuate the alarming trend of boring, over-crowded, and over-used slides in corporate presentations. Remember, brevity is beauty!
Brandon, thank you for your comment on my blog. It is so nice to hear from public relation practitioners who got a head start due to the experience they received in school. My blog is on a slight hiatus now due to finals and an holiday hours at work, but it will be updated again soon. Hope to hear from you again!
In regards to your current post, in the same class I started my blog in, we also had a crash course in PowerPoint. My teacher, Tiffany, taught us some great pointers (no pun intended) on PowerPoint presentations. If you haven’t yet, check out her blog at http://prpost.wordpress.com/ for some great public relations resources.
Great resources!
