Ask HN: How do I learn to use Powerpoint well?
I work a job that uses Powerpoint both for traditional presentations (talk in front of slides) and documentation (here's a 10 slide presentation covering X that you read yourself).
I don't pick the format, I am aware of all the disadvantages, I have read Tufte, Powerpoint is the tool I will be using for this.
I am looking for a method to learn how to use PP quickly (shortcuts, best practices, features to avoid) so I can put things together quickly that look decent. The vast majority of online content on this is extremely basic or focused on presentation skills - I am looking to learn the software. Something like Joel Spolsky's "You Suck At Excel" talk, but for Powerpoint.
Articles, MOOCs, video, whatever will be fine. Thanks.
