Hello and welcome to our course on PowerPoint 2013. My name is Toby and I’m your instructor on this course.

I think there can be little doubt that PowerPoint is by far the leading presentation software in the world, both in terms of numbers of users and in terms of the range of applications of this presentation software. There are other good presentation products and particularly in the area of the Mac there are one or two strong competitors. But in terms of overall use, PowerPoint really is head and shoulders above the competition. In this course, we’re going to look at the latest version of PowerPoint PowerPoint 2013.

So who is this course for? Well, the simple answer is that it’s for anybody who wants to use PowerPoint 2013. But there are specifically three groups of users that I’m targeting. The first group of users are people who have never used PowerPoint before, probably never even used presentation software before. I am going to assume that you have a reasonable level of competence and confidence with using Windows software, so I’m going to assume that you know how to minimize or maximize a window, how to use a dialog box and scroll bar, and the other main components of a Windows interface. My aim on the course is to get you to the point where you’re a competent user of PowerPoint 2013 and you can produce good presentations and use many of the facilities of PowerPoint with a high level of confidence. You’ll also be aware of other areas of PowerPoint, maybe ones where you need to learn a bit more or experiment a bit more, but you should be aware of just about all of the main aspects by the end of the course.

The second group of users are those who’ve used much older versions of PowerPoint versions like PowerPoint 2000 or PowerPoint 2003. These older versions do not use the Ribbon interface, which has been in the last couple of version of PowerPoint and which has become an integral part of using PowerPoint. The Ribbon interface is developed further in PowerPoint 2013, but they’re many other features have been introduced into PowerPoint in the versions since those much older ones. So if you’re used to PowerPoint 2000 or PowerPoint 2003, learning PowerPoint 2013 really is going to involve learning a lot of new things and these are not just things related to the Ribbon interface. There are many improvements and new features related to sharing, collaboration, use of animation, and many other features. So for people with knowledge of the older versions of PowerPoint, although some features will be familiar, there will be many new things to learn as well. My intention for that second group of users is to get you up to speed on the new version and to be aware of all of the latest features and able to use just about all of them.
