Tips for PPT and Excel going into SA?

I will be doing a SA stint this summer and want to start getting more proficient in Powerpoint and Excel because I had to push my start date back to miss training because my school is on the quarter system. What are some of the best PowerPoint and Excel shortcuts and tricks to learn before I hit the desk? I don't want to be far behind.
