I’d run through a WSP or similar program for Excel. I would do something similar for PowerPoint to be comfortable with the program.
It’s likely alot of the files you’ll work on, both Excel and PowerPoint, will be based on existing templates so you’ll be provided with a good starting place for your assignments.
