Microsoft recently partnered with LinkedIn to provide some amazing high quality LinkedIn Learning training videos that originally focused on Outlook 2016 and Excel 2016 and now they have added more new videos on working with Word and PowerPoint. There are more than 60 new videos to help you quickly get up to speed on Office—whether you need to learn about tracking changes in Word or designing PowerPoint presentations.

For example, many times we’re asked the question of how to save documents as a pdf or in other formats and this is answered in the “Getting Started with Word” video series that consists of over 21 videos that covers multiple Word tasks including how to create documents, add and edit text, format text with styles, create mailing lists, organize documents into sections, review documents and track changes, create and format tables and more.

In the Getting Started with PowerPoint 2016 series, which consists of over 36 separate videos, you’ll learn how to create presentations, add and format text, add and format images, design presentations, present slideshows, add audio and video, add animations to slides, add tables, store and share presentations and remove sensitive information.

You can find the direct links to the Getting Started Video Series below:
