Guidelines for Effective Graphics, this tutorial can be viewed online or downloaded as a Power Point file. Unlike most Power Point slides on the Web, this one has a narrative with it. Some excellent suggestions, takes about 25 minutes to view. Unfortunately, the downloaded slides do not have the accompanying audio! However, it can be played from the Internet at the same time that the slides are shown. (Added July 28, 3002)

Power Point Lessons (1999). The information here is good, but some of the graphics may throw one off because it is probably 1998 version. Once at the site one has to download the files which are in pdf format and because of the graphics this may take a long time if you are using a dial-up modem. Still a good site.
