Customer Reviews

Good for young professionals

The company I work for installed the new office and when I first started using it I couldn't find anything. I went through a few Powerpoint books and found this one to have the best explanations. It covers just about everything I need, making a deck look impressive.

Great Reference Guide for PowerPoint 2007

To be honest, I've always been jealous of PowerPoints that I see during company meetings. How do they make them look so good? Finally, I decided to invest a little time. My friend's friend works at Microsoft and told me that his co-workers wrote a book. I figured I would give it a shot. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed the book. I thought it would be really complicated, but little things go a long way to make slides look good and this book is great at pointing those out. Now, my presentations look clean, professional, and people are asking me for tips! It's great. If you want to impress your boss/co-workers with your PowerPoint skills, then this is definitely a good place to start.

Definitive PowerPoint 2007 resource

Lots of useful tips on PowerPoint 2007. A lot of things have changed in Microsoft's 2007 update, and it's always nice to have a good reference so you can find/do what you want. I have not seen a better PowerPoint 2007 book.

Good as a tutorial or as a reference

Chock full of good ideas and helpful hints. The examples are really illuminating and the writing is exceptionally clear, especially the section on the XML format (which was what I was most interested in). In both business and academic settings I've found myself having to maintain a large number of presentations. Often there are slight variations between presentations (different customer, different conference) and this book helped me streamline a lot of that process. For instance, now I can easily update tables with fresh data! A HUGE win. Now I finally have time to learn the clarinet!

Best Book for Consultants who use PowerPoint

Being a former consultant, business school student, and making hundreds of decks for presentations to CEO's, VCs, and a whole stadium full of people, I have to say that I have finally found the book I need. If you are an advanced user of PowerPoint, then you need to get this book. Learn all the tricks to creating more dynamic slides in less time. It a time saver! Worth every penny.
