  Book Information

PowerPoint is the world's most widely used presentation
program, a favorite of educators, trainers, and, of course,
those in business everywhere. Yet, every time Microsoft
releases a new version of the program, they introduce
another set of features---most of which you'll never
understand or use. Even if you have experience with
PowerPoint, you'll struggle to keep up with the
improvements. If you're a beginner, you probably don't know
where to start.

Now, with PowerPoint 2003 Personal Trainer, beginners and
experts alike can become black belts with this presentation
program, quickly and easily. This fully illustrated book
takes a modular approach to learning, allowing you to start
with the fundamentals and work your way to advance topics
through dozens of task-oriented lessons--at your own pace.
The companion CD tutorial guides you through each lesson
interactively.

PowerPoint 2003 Personal Trainer includes sections on
editing, formatting, drawing, working with word art, tables,
organization charts, multimedia, other programs, the
Internet, and how to optimize presentation delivery. Every
chapter includes detailed diagrams and a review at the end
to help you absorb and retain all you have learned.

If you already use PowerPoint, you can dive right into those
topics (and only those topics) that you need or want to
learn. Unlike many consumer software tutorials that dumb
down the material or present it in a confusing fashion,
PowerPoint 2003 Personal Trainer is written in a
non-technical and engaging style that you will find fun,
easy, and most of all, clear and informative. You don't have
to wade through tons of jargon and technical information to
become proficient.

Part of our new Personal Trainer Series, this book is based
on content from CustomGuide (www.customguide.com), a leading
provider of computer training materials. Founded by
instructors who grew dissatisfied with the industry's dry
course materials, CustomGuide offers courseware (for
instructors and students), quick references, to software
bulletins and e-learning courses that are fun, flexible, and
easy to use.
