I'm looking for quality exercises or tutorials that will teach
students (seniors) how to use microsoft powerpoint.  The tutorials
will be given to students who have very little computer experience so
ideally I would like them to be basic and thorough and take the
students through a progression of learning. I'm looking for a list of
about 10 - 20 tutorials.

Thanks, 
mediatek
