We all know that your PowerPoint slides should not be the main focus of a presentation & that they should be used to complement you, the speaker.

However, what if your slides are for example part of an online course or workshop?

What if your slides need to contain bullet points to get the message across to your audience?

This quick step-by-step guide shows you how to “jazz” up your normal standard bullet points by using SmartArt – I hope you find it useful.

Firstly select the text box that contains your bullet points…
