Here, beginning to intermediate PowerPoint users will find a wealth of useful information, ranging from presentation creation basics to more advanced tips on topics such as VBA programming. Especially relevant to novices is the last chapter on presenting slide shows, with its advice on handout creation and presentation. The "How To Do Everything" series is less visual than Peachpit's "Visual QuickStart" series, but it judiciously uses screen shots, making entries very practical. Recommended for public libraries.
