I recommend this book for all Powerpoint users, from the beginner to the experienced. Not only does it present excellent powerpoint information but the Designer's Pointer are great! As a teacher, I struggle to find GOOD books that are useful in the classroom. I am pleased to find a book that not only incorporates the basics of the software but also supplies design pointers(tips). This book takes you step-by-step through building a powerpoint presentation. The activities are well developed, the introduction of the concepts are well presented. Someone who has never used PowerPoint before can be a novice user after completing the projects in this book. The book is written in plain English and it's layout is easy to use. This book is a must for all presentation users and every teacher needs a classroom set!

The title make it seem like it teaches you more than the instruction manual does. If you have an understanding of complex animation programs such as Flash or After Effects you can figure out how to do the tricks this book teaches on your own. I thought this book would be a step above the basic...but I was wrong.

Someone who does not do multimedia for a living may think the presentations you create with this book are dynamic...but for those of us who know better...nothing dynamic here.

If you are looking to do really "good" multimedia in PowerPoint...find another book.
