This review is from: Teach Yourself Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 VISUALLY (Paperback)

This visually oriented book takes you from the basic level and guides you through the many facets of the programme to the point where you can comfortably create and customize a variety of presentations to suit your needs. By the time I had almost finished this user-friendly volume, I was already in the process of creating my first Power Point presentation with total ease and confidence. This book offers the means whereby you can quickly develop your skills through the visual approach method, which conveys information in a simple, effective way. Each page is filled with clear, full colour images that accurately represent what you should see on your screen. Throughout the book, additional graphics bring life to the pages, highlighting supplementary notes and clarifying any doubts. Each chapter builds on the previous one providing a logical continuity, and reading is kept to a minimum allowing you to go straight to the meat of the matter from the very start, making it possible, with just this book and your PC, to master Power Point 2000 easily and satisfactorily. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with a keen interest in learning Power Point 2000, even if you have never used it before.
