Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Here, beginning to intermediate PowerPoint users will find a wealth of useful information, ranging from presentation creation basics to more advanced tips on topics such as VBA programming. Especially relevant to novices is the last chapter on presenting slide shows, with its advice on handout creation and presentation. The "How To Do Everything" series is less visual than Peachpit's "Visual QuickStart" series, but it judiciously uses screen shots, making entries very practical. Recommended for public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Everything, June 20, 2002

By	Geetesh Bajaj (Secunderabad, India) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book shows you how to do everything with PowerPoint 2002 (that's from the title!) - yet the best part of the book is that everything is explained in an easy yet comprehensive style. No task is too difficult - no idea too far to grasp. One might imagine that since this book seems so easy, it might cover just the basics - yet the book goes much beyond mere basics to encompass topics like macros, distribution, delivery, customization - and an excellent chapter on charts. Finally, you'll find snippets of extra info from presentation gurus worldwide - all in one book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Find Your Answers Quickly, May 8, 2002

By	Claudyne (Jamaica Plain, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This book makes it easy to look up my answers. I love the cautions Ellen gives. She gives a caution about being sure the hyperlink color shows up on the slide. All these pointers make it easy for me to help my clients. This is a perfect book for a novice who can easily follow her directions and it's great for me as I know lots but need some help in certain areas. I found that help easily. She's got call out boxes called tips, short-cuts, cautions, did you know and how to's. There's an excellent chapter on creating charts. I will use this as a reference for when my clients ask me questions as well as an update for what's inside PowerPoint 2002. You will only create better more effective presentations using Ellen's tips and easy to follow pointers.
