All I can say is WOW, Geetesh has once again done a bang-up job of presenting his "cutting edge" techniques, this time for PowerPoint 2007. And also, once again, he's included an amazing CD with all kinds of helpful software on it. Because I've been using and teaching PowerPoint for a long, long time, when I opened this book I immediately looked for a "What's New in PowerPoint 2007" section, but I couldn't find it and was disappointed, but not for long. Once I opened PowerPoint 2007 on my computer and started playing around, every time I couldn't find something in the new interface, a quick glance at the index of this book and I found it immediately. And, don't let the "for Dummies" title fool you ... this book is an excellent addition to any PowerPoint user's library, from beginner through advanced user. Geetesh presents everything in a very readable fashion; it feels like he's right at the computer with you, looking over your shoulder. If you have his 2003 version of this book, this one is very similar but gets you used to using the new 2007 interface with ease.
I highly recommend this as a great reference to keep right beside your computer whenever you are working in PowerPoint 2007.

As a presentation designer and author of Presentational Skills for the Next Generation even I found inspiration within the contents of this delightful book. Yes, delightful is the operative word. Geetesh Bajaj's sense of humor sprinkled throughout was a refreshing change from ordinary skills books. His mix of clear explanations and helpful hints prove his credentials and expertise with PowerPoint are solidly established. If you are looking to add to your knowledge quickly or are just learning how to add the power of PowerPoint presentations to your marketing program this is the book you will want to read from cover to cover. And don't miss the free CD with Bonus Chapter, tools and resources too.

I own the PowerPoint 2003 edition of this book, and this is even better. I like the fact that the author goes so much out of his way to include coordinated material on the attached CD.

This is a worthwhile purchase for the person that has decent knowledge of how Power Point works and how to use its basic features. It is not for the novice user. It is easy to understand, logical, and relevant. I would recommend it to the individual that wishes to advance their knowledge of the little things and short cuts about Power Point.

I may not have gotten to the nitty gritty of this book as yet, but I am already impressed and can tell that it is going to give me the instruction I need...even as a power point novice.

I was disappointed because in the introduction, the author states that he assumes throughout the book that the reader is already a user of powerpoint. So, its not written in a way that even gives the basics, which seems like a book for dummies should do. It's more like a intermediate book on powerpoint,and it may even be a good one.

This book was at an impressive price, and the delivery was well inside the estimated dates. An excellent transaction all round. I wouldn't hesitate in dealing with this seller again!!
