Microsoft PowerPoint is a highly effective software application that countless individuals and companies have used over the years to create powerful presentations. However, PowerPoint is only as good as the person using it.

If you are new to Microsoft Office, it is important that you learn how to use all of the applications in the suite. One of the most popular is Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word is a word processing application. It is used to document creation and offers a comprehensive set of options for formatting, fonts, and styles. You can even insert tables and charts to a Word document.

Let's face it, we've all sat through presentations that have dragged on for far too long and we've subsequently become much less attentive and engaged. That's why it's key to keep PowerPoint presentations as brief and concise as possible. You want your audience focused more on the content of your presentation and the key message you're trying to deliver, rather than how bored they are and how badly they want you to conclude.

Powerpoint is another important application in the Microsoft Office suite. Powerpoint is used to create presentations. Students as well as working professionals can create presentations where they can present information to their colleagues or classmates in creative and easy-to-read ways.

Also, keeping your information very brief on each slide is key. Slides with too much information lose their impact. Make sure to only include those critical pieces of information that will impact your audience. Using appropriate fonts and sizes can help your slides be more legible and easy to understand for your audience as well. If they can't read your slides, they're going to miss important points.

The way that unread emails are marked is usually pretty standard across all email applications. The text that's used to signify the presence of that message like subject is marked in bold. When you read the message, this text becomes normal.

After you've created your PowerPoint presentation, the most important thing you can do is rehearse it. Using your presentation as your guide, practice the message that you're going to deliver, the questions that you're going to ask, etc. As you run through the presentation a few times, you'll undoubtedly come up with some edits. It's much better to practice then make those revisions beforehand, rather than realizing in the middle of your presentation that you've either included bad information, or omitted key points.

Having these skills and certifications on your resume also show your employer that you take your work seriously and seek to better yourself independent of employment. This kind of proactive effort will not go unnoticed. Some employers may even require you to have these certifications before your application can even be considered. Others may be willing to give raises to employees who complete these certifications if they believe it will increase the employees productivity.
