ABSTRACT:

Learn how to quickly and easily add simple and interactive animations (with or without sound) to your PowerPoint Lectures for delivery offline or on the Web. By animating text, graphics, diagrams, charts and other objects on your slides you can add focus to the important points, control the flow of information and add interest to your presentation. Users will also learn how to use ActiveX controls to create an online survey in your presentation in which respondents can enter text in text boxes or select or clear check boxes.

BENEFIT TO PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING SESSION:  

Participants will gain hands-on experience at animating text, objects, charts, and diagrams. They will also learn how to apply motion paths to objects, change the timing of animations, as well as learn how to combine audio with animation effects. There will also be a demonstration of the use of Active-X controls to create dynamic interactive online presentations.
