Tutorial Quick Reference
Because you may need quick access to support information, this page provides links to online tutorials, support materials and hanouts related to the District's educational software and subscriptions where applicable. However, I do encourage you to check the Availability Calendar and contact me to make an appointment if time allows.
In the future, I plan to create and post narrated screencasts (videos of the desktop) that will walk you through certain functions step by step and address your specific needs. Check back often for updates!

The look of the PowerPoint toolbars has changed significantly with the Office 2007 edition and there aren't too many online support sites/tutorials that take the changes into consideration. Microsoft offers lots of how-to's, free templates and clipart on the Microsoft Office site. You can also get free online help through their chat service and remote support.
The links below do not refer specifically to PowerPoint 2007 but the majority of the information presented is still relevant.
