If you want to know more about PowerPoint 2007, check out my new
books on PowerPoint 2007:
Cutting
Edge PowerPoint 2007 For Dummies is an updated version
of my earlier PowerPoint book -- completely redone for PowerPoint
2007. In the typical Dummies style, it makes complicated concepts
seem easy to comprehend and apply in your day to day work.
Most PowerPoint elements like text, graphics, charts, animations,
transitions, fills, etc. have separate chapters -- and don't miss
the part of tens in the last chapters.
Special
Edition: Using Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 is a detailed book
that explores almost everything that can PowerPoint can do. The
book can be used both as a reference and a cover-to-cover reading
material -- depending upon how you want to use it. At over ---
pages, it is thick and heavy enough!
I co-authored this book with Patrice-Anne Rutledge and Tom Muccilio.
Both books have amazing CDs -- and complement each other just
in case you want to get them both!
muvee AutoProducer is a wizard style video application that's
amazingly easy to use and the results are nothing short of outstanding.
NXPowerLite v3 optimizes the
size of Office documents without compromising their
content or quality -- thus making them easier store and share.
ALLCapture allows you to create tutorials for e-learning, and
product presentations, demos, software simulations, etc.
