Well, here’s a simple tutorial that shows you how to use the gradient fills in PowerPoint to create slides that are visually rich and very dynamic.

Hi, Tom! Thank you for putting these resources together! Your work is amazing! I am wondering what happened to the “Flash Once” animation effect available in PPT 2007 but that no longer appears in the animation panel of PPT 2010. Any idea of what happened and how can we overcome this?
Thank you for your response!
