European Computer Driving Licence

Synopsis
European Computer Driving Licence: Building and Delivering Presentations shows users how to work with a presentation application to insert, manipulate, and format text, images, and slides. It also shows users how to draw objects and produce charts for a presentation; how to print and distribute a presentation; and how to add special effects to a slide presentation.

This course describes how to meet European Computer Driving Licence objectives using Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 on a personal computer that uses a Windows operating system. The ECDL test can be taken with any presentation application, and although this course demonstrates a specific application, the tasks it teaches can be applied to other applications as well.
