5.0 out of 5 stars New Features in PowerPoint 2003...., November 24, 2003

By	Claire (Jasper, Indiana) - See all my reviews

Wow, I just started using the new Microsoft Office System (2003), and it is really cool! It's awesome for collaboration, and its applications are far more integrated than with previous versions. PowerPoint is one of the apps that has been improved. With the new Research task pane, I'm now able to find info and include it in my presentation quicker and easier than before. Plus, the Package for CD aspect now lets me put all my presentation files directly onto CD to distribute. This book was the reason I found the new features in PowerPoint 2003 and how to maximize them.
