THANK YOU SIR I AM A BEGGINNER THAT HAS NO CLUE ON POWERPOINT AND THE VIDEO TRANSFORMED ME FROM NOOB TO A PROFESSSINAL.😊😊

[@Natalia-fs7qy]

Thanks for this tutorial Kevin. I haven´t used PowerPoint for a long time and this really helped refresh my memory.

[@wingeddrake4227]

I appreciate Kevin's tutorials and how he updates periodically. 👏👏👏

[@user-bo7jx6ym1g]

Somehow I never learned PP in school, and I've been winging it (poorly) for the past 6 years. I just needed someone to quickly break it down for me, and this was perfect. Thank you so much!!!

[@antonynganga7868]

A short but very detailed insight into PowerPoint,thanks Kevin,you've made so easy to understand how it works,great job,Dubai

[@1sraelAdesanya]

Niko na exam kesho LORD help

[@beastboyrules]

I don't know if you will see this but I want to thank you so so much, I'm doing tafe (its like college in America but more based on trades I.E nursing, construction, mental health etc) its not university but it also has pathways for people like myself who have chronic illnesses and couldn't finish school (year 11 and 12) and with the course I'm doing I can't tell you the amount of times I've cried and wanted to give up because Microsoft is so different to me (haven't used since 2013) but finding your videos and showing me how to use the programs has given me hope that I can do this, I wouldn't say I'm old (i'm 28) and technology is moving at a pace that I can't keep up with, so what I'm trying to say is thank you so much for what you do and content you make.

[@josephbrolly7232]

Keep up the great work Kevin. Another excellent lesson. Thank you

[@myfriesryumyum6233]

I haven't commented on a Kevin Stratvert classic in a long time. The school schedule has been tight lately. I'm unsure if this comment is important to you, but I must tell you. You've made great strides. Your production quality has dramatically improved. Your videos are now better than ever. Continue to create high-quality tech content like this. I adore your work!

[@hogirhesen1792]

Thanks a lot it was very useful for me ❤

[@user-ud3ob2sf3r]

Very good and useful. From simple to harder way of learning - works great!

[@Bess1201]

as a total PP beginner, first, thanks for this, it is in fact helpful. As a minor point to improve this: please, not so fast! Beginners, like REAL beginners switch back and forth and just have to check where everything is,. At 6:09 for example, what what what? change size, what what what then? the cursor is moving so fast across the screen I can't even see it. For total beginners, and particularly tech afraid people this high speed talking and clicking is just causing stress and a feeling like ' I can't do that'.

[@CherieButler]

Great overview and tutorial!

[@successfind8171]

Wonderful demonstration by best teacher's😊❤
