PowerPoint is for More than Just Presentations

As I was preparing for a class I am giving on PowerPoint this week, I realized how many people neglect using this program. Microsoft PowerPoint can be used for more than just giving a presentation. You can use it as a place to draw out ideas in a physical representation, saving them as an image for a Word document or even for your web site.

Open PowerPoint. Start a new blank presentation. Go to Format Menu – Choose - Slide Layout. Change your slide to a blank layout. From the drawing toolbar at the bottom of your screen you can start adding shapes or even an organizational chart.

When you’re finished, save your work. Then Click – File – Save As. From the Save As Type option on the bottom choose GIF or JPEG. If you have multiple slides you can save each one as an image or just the current slide.

So make use of PowerPoint for visuals in your office or on your web site.
