I thought that I would be able to breeze through this assignment because I use PowerPoint on a daily basis for my lectures. What I didn't anticipate was my change from the 2003 PowerPoint version to the 2007 PowerPoint verision learning curve. I had some major frustrated moments with a little cussing (I'm sorry to say) involved. Of course, I got through those moments and figured out what I needed and feel much more comfortable with the 2007 version. I thought the exercise itself was a good one. Thank-you for all those videos to clarify these points Skip.
I hadn't thought of breaking my presentations into small individual tutorials. It is an excellent way to breakdown things like writing a scientific report into small chunks of information. I have always tried to break this subject down having students work on one to two pieces of the report until they could finally put it all together with a complete report. This exercise gave me a whole new avenue to be able to work on this.

Once I got used to the graphic tools in the new version of PowerPoint, I grew to like them much better than the tools in the previous version. One hint--go to the View menu and turn on the Standard, Formatting, and Drawing toolbars. This puts the graphic and formatting tools in more familiar locations if you are used to the previous version.
I'm glad you stuck with it. Your project is excellent.
