I needed some help in creating a presentation. I checked out four books on Powerpoint from my library. I read them all, and this book was by far the best. I have returned all the books to the library, and I will now buy this book for my permanent, personal library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to understand, perfect for beginners, February 9, 2004

This review is from: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 (Paperback)

I've never used PowerPoint before so I ordered this book. I'm so glad I did. I got started right away and in no time, I was creating my own presentations. The explanations are clear and to the point and the illustrations helped me from losing my place.

I should mention that even though this book is geared for beginners, it goes into enough detail to appeal to many different levels of users. Check out the table of contents and you'll see what I mean. Great job Mr. Gilgen!
