5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, Easy, and Readable, March 28, 2008

By	Geetesh Bajaj (Secunderabad, India) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like this book because it's detailed, yet easy to read -- and makes difficult tasks seem doable. Ellen always gets deep into any subject she discusses, and these helpful details make all the difference. She tackles the all new PowerPoint 2007 interface well, and takes care to introduce all the new features in this version of PowerPoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great how-to book for PowerPoint 2007, August 24, 2008

By	Jonathan Boutelle (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was a HUGE help for me while learning PowerPoint 2007. It was remarkably clearly written and easy to follow. While I'm not a big fan of all the changes to the PowerPoint (and the Office suite generally), it's great to have a well-written guidebook for coping with the increased complexity!
