Amazon.com Review
Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows 95 is a presentation package that lets you produce everything from simple meeting guidelines to fancy multimedia wonders. In Mastering PowerPoint--97, you learn how to do everything the package will let you do, while picking up plenty of tips on giving effective presentations along the way. The author, Katherine Murray, first explains the interface and guides you through creating a simple presentation in just a few minutes. She then offers more detailed instructions on how to enter, edit, and enhance text; create and edit graphs; import images and clip art; add sound, video, and transitions; and add drawings, notes, comments, and reviews as you give your presentation. Next you learn how to successfully use color in your presentation, print slides and handouts, publish your work on the Web, and manage multimedia files. Murray also gives you tips on effective rehearsals and presentation methods. For example, you can view your presentation on one computer monitor while you show the presentation on the other, or simply have your presentation run as a kiosk. Appendices include a glossary, tips on customizing the package, and tips for first-time presenters.

More About the Author
Hi! Thanks for checking out my books. I've been writing about all kinds of topics--technology, digital lifestyle, parenting, nature, eco-spirituality, fundraising, and more--for more than 20 years, and I still love it. Writing lets me follow my curiosities (Mango, Windows 8, green tech, and more), explore what fascinates me, and then share what I learn with readers. I love that! My most recent books include "My Windows 7 PC" (Que, 2011), "Microsoft Office 365: Connect and Collaborate Virtually Anywhere, Anytime" (Microsoft Press, 2011), and "Listening to the Earth: Meditations on Experiencing and Belonging to Nature" (Lorian Press, 2011). I hope one of these books--or another book you find today--meets a need you have or answers a question you've been wondering about. Thank you for taking a look at my work! Kind regards, Katherine

2.0 out of 5 stars
Book too basic,
By stehling@erols.com (Bowie Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mastering PowerPoint 97 (Paperback)
Cover of book indicates it is for all levels. Actually the book is very basic and does not adequately go into the advanced features of PowerPoint. I teach PP and need procedures for customizing presentations and resolving problems caused by students random pointing and clicking. The only reason I bought it sight unseen was I could not find a Que book and the publication date was the latest of the titles found in the Amazon data base.

Glad I got this book from the library instead
of spending money. Almost impossible to use this as a reference, and it isn't a very good tutorial either. A disappointment.
