This review is from: Using Microsoft PowerPoint 97 (3rd Edition) (Paperback)

I am an IT Trainer in London. I am considered to be an authority on PowerPoint. I train corporate media clients at all levels (introductory courses to tailored advanced courses). PowerPoint is an essential tool in their businesses. This is the only book worth buying if you have already worked out how to create a basic presentation. It is useful for people who create presentations and for those who train or support end-users. It's really well-designed in content and appearance. Not a chore to read at all, the style of writing is relaxed, non-techie, concise and friendly. If understanding and using PowerPoint97 is important to you - don't waste your money - buy this book.
