Let me begin this ezine issue by announcing the release of my
new book. Published by Wiley, this is part of the Dummies series.
The book has so much information that I could
not fit in everything! Fortunately, that was a very nice excuse
to cram in a CD that has free content valued at $400! And there's
a color insert and a companion site - take a look at the companion site...
And now for more goodies - ppted is giving away ten
copies of their new Native

Revealing PowerPoint 12
It's
so easy to be optimistic about the next version of PowerPoint -
Microsoft has added tons of new features to the program in what
might be the most revolutionary release of this venerated presentation
platform. For many users that might not be great news since this
might require a certain amount of unlearning - and I know that
feeling too well since I was so zapped when I saw PowerPoint without
any menus! However, in just two days after working with the new
interface, I'm a convert. If that sounded like putting in too much
within the first paragraph of this article - it probably was, and
you'll have to forgive my enthusiasm. Let me reveal all those new
features one at a time.
