- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Gini Courter. Welcome to Branding Your Business Using Office. In this course I'll show you how to use the tools in the current versions of Microsoft Office to consistently communicate your brand to customers, vendors, employees, the outside world. We'll start in PowerPoint, customizing everything that doesn't move from fonts to colors to slide layouts and saving those results as themes and as templates. The themes we create in PowerPoint will be reused in Word and Excel and somewhat in Outlook.
In Word you'll see how to create templates that limit the available colors, fonts, and styles to those that will best enforce your brand. In Excel we'll start with a worksheet that we use every day, apply our themes, protect it, and save it as a branded template. We'll end our course in Outlook, seeing how the default settings, styles, and signatures can also be used to enforce a brand and brand our e-mail communications. I'm eager to show you how you can use the Office applications you already use to get the job done. Let's get started.
