PowerPoint Video Tutorials by Daejeon

This is the go to thread for information on PowerPoint, all versions, whether English or Korean.

It is structured to cover essentials, hyper linking, animations, advanced functions, and is concluded with a tutorial on how to make a PowerPoint quiz/bomb game.

If you can't stand listening to my aussie/kiwi/south africanish accent, then I will also post documents for your reading pleasure.

A nice place to start, if you consider yourself "so so" "these days" with PowerPoint, is reading Paul's document on making quiz style games. (It is attached below).

Hyperlinking

All there is to know about hyper links.  The varieties of hyper links, how they are made, how they are used, what they do, and what not to do.

I didn't sticky it, I am not sure who did.  I have some time tonight, I will work on some more tutorials this evening.

Which do you consider to be most important?

I can add your sweet .doc in the first post

Wow these video tutorials have been super helpful. Thank you so much.

The biggest issue I have had with PowerPoint has been when downloading and trying to run many of the PowerPoints I have found on here I get the error "no text convertor is installed for this file type".  I am using PowerPoint 2007. I have searched the microsoft help center and PPTFaq.com with no luck.

Thank you again.

That issue started in an Office security update.  Please check my games thread for a resolution to that problem.  I will post it here after class.

Hi Daejeon, I have a question for you regarding embedding youtube videos in ppt2003.

I followed your tutorial (which was pretty awesome) and got my movie working, however if I save the ppt and reopen it it no longer works.... The shockwave box turns plain white, no X through it and nothing happens...
I've found I can open it's properties, copy the link. delete it and remake the shockwave box and it will work for the duration that the ppt file is open, but again, as soon as I save/close it/reopen it, nada...
Do you have any idea what could be causing this problem? Or where I could look for help?

Thanks a bunch, your tutorials and ppt games have saved many of my classes :)

Hi Daejeon

Many thanks for all the effort and time put into your work - you are a HERO to the masses .

Will you be doing any video tuts on scoring systems for games?

I have got all the other "techy elements" down, but I have no VBA or Flash skills at all.

I have some first generation PPT games that I would like to pimp up with scoreboards before I upload them to this site.


Thanks
