power point training - Graphics importing animating

Windows comes with a very basic graphics package called paint. Steer clear of it, except from minor editing requirements.

For more indepth design, look at using photoshop or paintshop pro. You can find a trial version of the latter on the internet. The quality of the graphics you can create or modify does depend on your skill and experience with graphic design and the relevant package.

Animation can be done either in PowerPoint, or by using a another package to create the animation, like Macromedia Flash. Again, the quality depends on your skill and experience.

You can find some pretty good images and animation on the internet using Google. Click the Images link on the very top and enter some keywords of your images. Bear in mind that images are not always named in english syntax, in other words take out the spaces.

ie:
small moving picture.jpg = unlikely
SmallPic.jpg = more likely
