Great book -- lots of extra info not just how-to,
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 (Paperback)
This is a comprehensive book on PowerPoint. It shows you not only how to use the product including its new features, but also gives advice on design, giving presentations, etc. I'm a business professional, not a designer or speaker and I found this info an added bonus.

No Error! Picture Instructions Included, By ART (GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 (Paperback)
The reviewer just before this review stated that this manual has an error in that it leaves out instructions on adding pictures to the PowerPoint. The reviewer was in error, as pages 284-285 discuss formatting a picture and page 279 describes how to apply a picture fill. The entire chapter 11 deals with inserting clip art, including WMF, CGM, BMP, PNG, GIF, and JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Groups) formats. This chapter clearly describes how to insert these types of images into a PPT presentation.

very good for what it does, By Michael Kahn (NYC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Special Edition Using Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 (Paperback)
Its a very good book in the sense that it clearly explains how to use powerpoint2000 and how to design presentations and present them. It does not however give you assignments to do, not does it give you questions to test what you've learned.
