5.0 out of 5 stars It really IS plain & Simple!!, November 11, 2007

By 

Nanci "Book Dragon" (Tri-Cities, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 Plain & Simple (Paperback)

I had never used Power Point, and in a month I have a presentation due for a new course I am taking. I looked for the simplest, most understandable book that would not take me a year to read through. I hadn't much faith, knowing how techy books, especially for software, were: complex, assuming you know more than you do.
This book is so enjoyable to use, and so simple, I could start from square one and complete my presentation in one evening. I wish I could write Nancy and thank her! If you have never worked with Power Point, or think it is too complicated, this is the book for you. Forget the classes, just get this book.

Like the title says, Plain and Simple. For an old man making the jump from windows 95 to Vista and a number of office suites apps. this was very helpful as were the other books in this series that I have purchased. It was not to loaded with jargon and did not assume I was a c++ programer.

I just finished a course in Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 and find the book helpful in reviewing what I learned in class. Since I am 77 years old I do not retain information as well as I used to and need to have reference material as this is not something I use every day. I am sure it will be a helpful resource in the future.
