11.20: Assignment- Modify Existing PowerPoint Presentations
Sometimes when there are monthly presentations within a group, organization or business, instead of creating a new presentation you simply modify an existing one to make it fresh and relevant now. In this assignment, you will work with an existing presentation and modify it to meet a different objective from its original use, like the next quarter sales department meeting.
To complete this assignment, download the PowerPoint presentation here . Follow the directions, then submit your assignment. If you get stuck on a step, review this module and ask your classmates for help in the discussion forum.
- Open the presentation and save the new Module 11 assignment file to the Rowan folder on your desktop as BA132_LastName_QuarterSales.ppxt , replacing “LastName” with your own last name. (Example: BA132_Hywater_Memo) It is a good idea to save your work periodically.
