Hello everyone and welcome to
PowerPoint 2016 Advanced for Mac,
I'm your host Vonne Smith.
And in this course overview
we're going to go over, well,
exactly what is covered in the series.
Who is this meant for, do you need to
know anything before you get started?
And any extra tidbits, and tips,
and tricks I have for you.
So in this series we
don't have actual topics,
we just have a collection of episodes that
are all for advanced uses of PowerPoint.
And that would be starting
off with the slide master.
The all important slide master that I
talk a lot about in the Essential series.
Well, we're finally here to go ahead and
show you how to use that.
We'll also go over the notes master and
the handout master.
Then we'll move on to adding audio and
video into your files,
always a good thing to do.
How to find videos of your own and
then videos from online sources and
add them into your PowerPoint.
As well as your audio and
recording directly into your slide.
We have some fun with what my cats
are saying so definitely check those out.
We'll also get into how we're going to
collaborate with people using OneDrive.
So we're going to delve into OneDrive and
how that works with PowerPoint and
those two Office products together.
Cuz when we collaborate and we share out
documents, or in this case a presentation,
we really are doing it through OneDrive.
So we're gonna concentrate on that.
And then be able to collaborate in real
time with somebody else to be able to add
different things to
the PowerPoint presentation.
So its some really great episodes
in there for collaboration.
And I'm going to get into customize.
Now, there's a couple episodes that we use
that I've kind of put all underneath this
customize.
We're gonna get into custom shows,
like what does that mean?
Of creating almost like a show
within a show, a sub-show,
within a PowerPoint presentation.
And then another way, or another
alternative, to somewhat of the same
things with your custom shows,
we're gonna add action buttons.
What is an action button?
And hyperlinks.
How can we add hyperlinks into our
presentation to help create and
customize a slide show in different ways?
We're also gonna talk about
customizing interface,
like actually customizing the ribbon and
making our own tabs on the ribbon.
And a few things about updates and
where to find your updates.
And why am I not seeing certain things in
my PowerPoint environment that you might
not see on yours, but see on mine?
So we'll get into our Office Insider,
and what that means,
and where you can find more
information on the updates.
We're also gonna get
into rehearsing timings.
Doing the rehearse timings command in
PowerPoint and why that could benefit you.
And also recording a presentation,
where we record over all of our slides.
We'll talk about the good parts and
maybe the not so
good parts of being able to do
that within a Mac environment.
Especially if we're going
to export out to a movie.
We'll also get into
advanced file properties.
Understanding about the metadata that
we can store within a file under
the file properties and
what that all means.
And how we can customize them and
we can use them to our advantage.
We'll also have a couple episodes,
or at least one, on best practices.
I've alluded to that in some other
episodes in the other shows.
So we're going to actually get into that,
of like what makes a good
PowerPoint presentation,
things to avoid and then things to adapt.
So who is this for?
Of course, this is for any Office user,
meaning the Office 365 or
a locally installed version of PowerPoint
on a Mac so you need to be a Mac user.
This is a continuation from the Essential
series so we do pick up on a lot of that.
I would say that would be somewhat of
a prerequisite for this particular series,
is you need a foundational
knowledge of PowerPoint,
watching the Essentials series, okay.
And, of course, understanding
the Mac operating system, and
where to find the finder,
and those different things.
Then, of course,
familiarity with other Office products is
always gonna be helpful,
if you use Word extensively.
Some of those things do cover
across all of the Office products.
So having that familiarity will
be helpful in certain places.
Every episode does have a notes that you
can download, notes and sometimes files.
It depends on what
episode it is whether or
not there's an exercise
file to follow along with.
Some of them I'm just using a new file so
you would use a new file.
So definitely check each one of
those episodes out for the notes.
And this overview does contain
all of the files together so
you could download that and
then use them throughout the episodes.
And they are episode specific.
But if anything is missing, definitely
go ahead and contact us, let us know so
we can go ahead and make sure that
we've got everything in order.
There's always other ways to do things,
I might show you two ways and
there might be three others, okay.
So maybe something can be done by
right click and I didn't show that.
That happens,
there's always other options for
how to do things within any of your
products and this series includes that.
Updates, have episodes about that,
updates happen.
And because the subscription model allows
us to have those new features added every
month, or depending on what cycle you're
on for your updates, things will change.
Things might look different now
when you're watching the series and
the time I recorded it.
So just know that that
is part of the process.
And, of course, there's always questions,
I always have questions,
I have to go out and search for
them cuz I'm like, why is this happening?
So definitely use the Internet to your
advantage, use your search engines,
the help files from
Microsoft are always great.
Sometimes you need to go
a little further out there so
definitely search for answers.
And everybody uses PowerPoint differently.
So the reason why I use PowerPoint
might be different from the way you use
PowerPoint so just keep that in mind.
And I always say it is up to you on
how you wanna use this depending on
your needs and
the audience that you are addressing.
Of course, we always like to
have fun in these series,
you'll be seeing more of the cats and
Aubri and I are gonna have a lot of fun.
So I hope to see you in
an episode very soon.
