How to Use Microsoft PowerPoint

How to Use Microsoft PowerPoint offers an excellent whirlwind overview of how to use Microsoft's flagship presentation software, designed to both help users upgrading from an older version of the program (this DVD covers the 2007 version) and complete newbies. While a basic knowledge of computer terminology (“right-click,” “icon”) is assumed, the information here is presented in an easy-to-follow fashion, with everything mentioned in the script also demonstrated onscreen, enabling viewers to quickly find and familiarize themselves with various toolbars and menus. Broken down into seven easily navigable chapters, the program takes viewers step-by-step through the process of building a multimedia presentation, offering practical tips throughout, while also serving as a ready refresher for those who want to, say, animate a slide show. Considering the virtual workplace dominance of Microsoft Office's suite of programs, this is sure to be popular. Other titles in this series on MS Office 2007 include How to Use Microsoft Excel and How to Use Microsoft Word. Highly recommended. Aud: J, H, C, P. (E. Gieschen)
