Loved the book. Learned an incredible amount and thought the CD that was included was terrific.

The book clearly describes techniques for maximizing the potential of Powerpoint. The book is filled with directions for using many of the less-used but powerful tools found in Powerpoint. It was really helpful when setting up Master Slides, dealing with graphics and working with animations. Some information is given about enhancement software, but the majority of the information is based on Microsoft's Powerpoint.
Very well organized and easy to follow - highly recommended.

For basic instructions on using PowerPoint, the user can refer to on-line help ... for information on developing good presentations, any level of user can benefit from this book. It is so well organized that I can find what I need when I need it, without having to wade through a lot of elementary material. The design procedures are broken down into steps that any level of user can follow. The chapter summaries help to tie the information together and serve as a quick memory/idea jogger before I start developing a presentation. I've had the book less than a week, and already I can see a big improvement in the design and content of presentations I've created. Get this book!
Written on an Intermediate Level.

I think it is important for readers to know that this book is not for the novice. It is intended for users who are already Familiar with Microsoft PowerPoint. Good material for those who want information on enhansing their presentations. Again not a book to learn the application itself.
