On yahoo search what you want. There are a lot of free stuff.\n\nThere isn't any good program unless you try yourself. Better try free version or trial version before order.\n\nOr contact these people for any help

That's fairly specific, how about in any format!!!\n\nOne place to start is simply the microsoft office websites.  They have training packages that are free, and do somewhat resemble powerpoint.  Past that read your helpfiles, press all the buttons in the toolbar (select some data first), and work on spefic problems.  \n\nI have found some links you can look at to get you started.\n\nAlso if in the UK, i think you can get free if not cheap training through LearnDirect.

You can do either one.  If you go to microsoft's homepage you can get a cheat-sheat that tells you how to do it.\nhttp://office.microsoft.com/training\nSo that's how! Great PowerPoint features\n\nGood Luck

I second the OpenOffice!!! It is free, it is good, it saves documents in Word format if desired and best of all, it is FREE. In this case free does not mean cheap or not a very good program. It is an outstanding program. You can get it at http://www.openoffice.org. Check it out. \n\nWhy pay for something you can get for free that is just as good if not better?

Another option is OpenOffice. It's much like StarOffice like the person up there offered. OpenOffice is a suite like Microsoft Office that is open source and completely free and one of the programs is called 'Impress' and let's you create slide shows and save them in PowerPoint format.\n\nAlso a correction to the guy above: StarOffice is not free, it  costs $70. OpenOffice is free.

You can download a 60 day trial of MS Office (including powerpoint) here.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/prodinfo/standardtrial.mspx\n\nif you want to have it forever, legally... you must purchase it.\n\nYou can also pick up a totally free office suite called Open Office at:\n\nhttp://www.openoffice.org\n\nOpen office includes a program called Impress, which is very similar to PowerPoint, and can open and save PPT files.

You can download the office program at www.openoffice.org.  It's just like Microsoft Office except it's open source so it's free.  They have a program called Impress that is just like PowerPoint.  When you save, make sure that you save it in Microsoft PowerPoint format so when you take it to class to present it tomorrow it will open up correctly.

Do you mean Microsoft Excel? If so, there are a lot of books that you can pick up at best buy that can help you learn all sorts of computer programs. Make sure that whatever one you settle on comes with software to help you practice what you're learning. Good luck.

If i had to choose between the two programs, I would always use Word for this.\nI am assuming that If you have access to Word & Excel then you would also have access to Powerpoint. If this is the case, then use Powerpoint. It allows more flexability in the placing of seperate pictures and text boxes then Word or Excel. \nPowerpoint is designed for presentations, but I have found that it is a great tool for doing posters and business cards, when I dont have access to Publisher or a similar program. It is easy to use and to manipulate items.\n\nAs far as tips to make the ad, it depends on what you are selling.\nIf its your old car or dishwasher, for example, a simple picture, a headline and info text is all you need eg\n\n                    TITLE FOR THING FOR SALE!!\n\n         ------------------\n         ------------------             2 years old\n         ------------------             $49.00 ono\n         ------------------             Call 01234 56789\n         ------------------             \n\n\nIf you are not trying to sell second hand items (garage sale style), but are selling for a business, the remember the 2 S's                              \n\n                                          Sexy Sells!\n\n\nMake it look good. \nPhotos MUST be of the best quality\nProof read and spell check\nColour coordinate\n\n\nKeep it SIMPLE!!\nAdds work best when they are simple and eye catching. Have small print if you need it, but the large print should ONLY tell the main facts, ie what it is, basic description, where to buy etc\nsmall print should be everything else, company info, disclaimer etc\n\nFinally whichever style of add you use, make it stand out. This can be done in one of three ways\n\n1) border art (simple is best, it should attract the eye, to look at the ad, and not be the only reason that you are looking)\n2) coloured paper (either plain, or simple paterned)\n3) coloured text\n\nTo advertise on the cheap, I would advise you to use plain YELLOW paper, as this is the most eye catching colour and will be noticed by more people.

No way, I've looked....um not that I'd do anything illegal though..*cough** However, Open Office has a presentation program in their new suite that is compatible with Power Point, you can save your projects as Power Point files. It is a bit more difficult to use, has a few less features, but its the only free, Power Point compatible program I'm aware of. Just go to www.openoffice.org, download it. Its pretty big, but well worth the time.

It’s not free, but John Scherer’s Excel tutorial is supposed to be very good.  I think you can even get a free trial with the tutorial you want.  His web site for the tutorial can be found at:\nhttp://www.videoprofessor.com/products/spreadsheets/learnmicrosoftexcel/learnmicrosoftexcel.html

I guess the type of learning you want to do, depends on what type of software you want to use.\n\nFor instance, if you want to learn how to use Adobe Photoshop or Quark, you may want to try http://www.ideastraining.com/ or http://www.ideastraining.com/ or http://www.vtc.com as training sources. \n\nFor Office applications, you may want to use a service such as http://www.atomiclearning.com/ or http://www.learningelectric.com/\n\nOne other I uncovered is http://www.learn2.com .\n\nClick the source below for a Google search of online software training sites. I hope these work for you.

when installing, choose custom, and it will let you choose only the programmes you want to install. then you can only install powerpoint!

you need to have a program to open powerpoint, it usually comes with full microsoft office installs, or you can get it free with open office software. either one will work, if you dont have either of these installed, I'd go with open office, its upgraded frequently and it's free
