PowerPoint 2007 Bible (with source code)

Creating a good presentation is much more than just clicking a few dialog boxes and typing some text. It requires knowledge and planning-lots of it. With the PowerPoint 2007 Bible you will not only be able to build a presentation with PowerPoint, but you’ll also be able to explain why you made the choices you did, and you’ll deliver that presentation smoothly and with confidence.

Experienced PowerPoint presenters will find the book full of coverage of Microsoft’s new Office user interface for PowerPoint, including the innovative Ribbon. Anyone using PowerPoint will appreciate the advice on how to avoid really bad PowerPoint, get beyond bullet points, and engage the audience by creating PowerPoint presentations that don’t suck.

As you probably guessed by the heft of the book, this is not a quick-fix shortcut to PowerPoint expertise. Instead, it’s a thoughtful, thorough educational tool that can be your personal trainer now and your reference text for years to come. That’s because this book covers PowerPoint from “cradle to grave.” No matter what your current expertise level with PowerPoint, this book brings you up to the level of the most experienced and talented PowerPoint users in your office. You might even be able to teach those old pros a thing or two!

But this book doesn’t stop with PowerPoint procedures. Creating a good presentation is much more than just clicking a few dialog boxes and typing some text. It requires knowledge and planning-lots of it. That’s why this book includes a whole chapter on planning a presentation, and another whole chapter on the practical issues involved in presenting one.
