5.0 out of 5 stars A good book, January 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: PowerPoint 2003 Bible (Paperback)

I like this book best of all the PowerPoint books I have. One reason, it has a lot of tips for doing advanced things like custom animation, videos, etc. It also has these workshop lab exercises at the ends of the sections that give you a chance to practice things like a workbook. The CD is also good, it has lots of backgrounds templates and add-ins.

3.0 out of 5 stars Letdown CD, April 3, 2006

By 

Dilly Korn (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PowerPoint 2003 Bible (Paperback)

The book is quite detailed but everybody can put in a few shareware programs and templates on a CD these days. This CD is a complete letdown. I wish they remove the CD and reduce the cost of this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Content without Soul, May 17, 2006

By 

Susannah Goodman (San Diego) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PowerPoint 2003 Bible (Paperback)

This book has so much content that if you wanted to write an exam on PowerPoint, you could just remember the sentences in this book. What the book doesn't do is tell you why you would want to do things in the way Wempen explains. In a phrase, the book has no soul. It's just a compilation of what PowerPoint's menus can do in so much detail that it hurts.
