Very good every day reference. - 2007-07-06

This is a very good book for everyday reference. It covers all of the basics well, and intermediate also. The included disk is weaker than the book. A stronger disk would get it a 5. It claims to be the only Powerpoint book you will ever need. It also lists on the cover that it is for beginners and intermediate, this listing is accurate. There are some advanced things I would like to do with Powrpoint, that I have seen done, this book does not cover. If the author did an advanced book, I would buy that also. Easy style, thorough in what it covers.

Great book. I had the 2003 version, and the 2007 version was well worth the upgrade the first week.

Still reading it, BUT . . . - 2007-04-11

I have purchased a "Que" book for every version of Microsoft Office that I have had. These books are wonderful. They are a helpful resource and the information you need is easy to find. I recommend this book to anyone who has PowerPoint 2007.

This is my very first time to work with PowerPoint let alone 2007. The book is filled with Tips,Notes, and descriptions of all the tabs in 2007. However, I would like to have more detailed "How To" on the many creative things that you can do. The book will tell you where to go if you are looking for something in particular which makes it a good reference book. But I would like more detail more depth with all the creative word art and effects, and much more that 2007 has available. Overall it is a pretty good book for introducing the many amazing features of the 2007. And I agree that the CD that comes with it is somewhat worthless in my opinion. The book does point out that you do not have to be creative to make and awesome Presentation with 2007. It does everything for you.
