[share_ebook] PowerPoint 2007 for Starters: The Missing Manual

Fast-paced and easy to read, this new book teaches you the basics of PowerPoint 2007 so you can start using the program right away. This concise guide shows readers how to work with PowerPoint’s most useful features and its completely redesigned interface. With clear explanations, step-by-step instructions, lots of illustrations, and plenty of timesaving advice, PowerPoint 2007 for Starters: The Missing Manual will quickly teach you to:

• Create, save, set up, run, and print a basic bullets-and-background slideshow
• Learn how to add pictures, sound, video, animated effects, and controls (buttons and links) to your slides
• Discover how to incorporate text, spreadsheets, and animations created in other programs

The new PowerPoint is radically different from previous versions. Over the past decade, PowerPoint has grown in complexity, but its once-simple toolbar has been packed with so many features that not even the pros could find them all. For PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft redesigned the user interface completely, adding a tabbed toolbar that makes every feature easy to locate.
