This review is from: Quick Course(r) in Microsoft(r) PowerPoint(r) 2000 (Paperback)

I picked up this book "on sale" thinking it would eventually be useful. It turned out I needed it almost immediately to prepare some high-priority training presentations.

I'd used PowerPoint before to do some presentations for school but hadn't used any of the really cool useful features because I didn't know they existed. The importance of this work-related project motivated me to sit down and work through the entire book. I was impressed with how fast it moves from one useful topic to the next. It took me two days (part-time) to get all the way through the book but an inspired reader could do it in a day. By the end of the book I'd learned enough to complete the training presentation project very successfully.

I typically hate application instruction books because they are usually so patronizing. But this one is definitely useful and easy to read. I'm now interested in checking out more titles in Microsoft's "Quick Course" book series.
