By A Customer
This review is from: Essentials of PowerPoint 98 for the Macintosh (Spiral-bound)
I'd highly recommend this book. It is the best training book I've ever used. It is obvious to me that the author is an actual trainer. His steps are clear, easy to understand and I found myself having a blast going through them. I'd rate this a training masterpiece.

A half an hour a day for three weeks and you'll be using Powerpoint like an expert. And when you are done, the book will be an excellent resource. Highly recommend for anyone starting at point zero and needing a good tutor for powerpoint...

This review is from: Essentials of PowerPoint 98 for the Macintosh (Spiral-bound)
I've read many books about PowerPoint. Read 'em, put em on my shelf, and I learned NOTHING! This one was different. Interesting approach. Nice examples. I'll be able to keep this book as a reference. If I can only find space on my bookshelf!
