Summary: Great Book on Powerpoint
Comment: Loved the book. Learned an incredible amount and thought the CD that was included was terrific.

Rating: 2
Summary: Book lacks focus
Comment: Even though the title says PowerPoint 97, the authors spend a great deal of time on PowerPoint 4 (the version for Windows 3.1) and PowerPoint 95. So, no matter what version you own, almost one-third of this book isn't for you. And the step-by-step directions are littered with interruptions for the different versions.

Also, the authors skimp on describing and teaching the cool tools built-in to PowerPoint itself, focusing instead on how to use things like KPT Bryce, Photoshop, Flying Fonts, and others - tools which you may or may not own.

In general, there's a great deal more power to be harnessed inside PowerPoint itself, and unless you have these other tools, this book will not be of much help.

Rating: 5
Summary: Very useful for the intermediate user
Comment: The book clearly describes techniques for maximizing the potential of Powerpoint. The book is filled with directions for using many of the less-used but powerful tools found in Powerpoint. It was really helpful when setting up Master Slides, dealing with graphics and working with animations. Some information is given about enhancement software, but the majority of the information is based on Microsoft's Powerpoint.
