Reflection Although this assignment took me a

solid 8 hours to complete, was extremely frustrating, and complex, I found that it is a good learning experience. I am glad that I had to complete this because now I know how to use hyperlinks and can easily access various features through PowerPoint. Hopefully it will not take as long next time.
