what is a good beginners guide to using Powerpoint?

Answer 1

Powerpoint is very user friendly...you can pick up most of it by just playing around and using the HELP button or office assistant. Here's an online tutorial, and a search for powerpoint tutorials will give you many others.

Answer 2

After suffering from so-called "PowerPoint poisoning" in too many meetings ("And now, in slide 734, you can see ..."), I don't know if I should be encouraging you to use it.:-)

I recommend "PowerPoint for Dummies", too. However, don't forget that they also do "Office for Dummies" too, which might be better value for money.

Answer 3

As well, PowerPoint 2000 for Windows for Dummies is a great resource.

Answer 5

The best way to find your way around is to play with it - it's dead easy to use, and with a bit of trial and error, you can produce a very professional looking presentation, with full animation and transition effects.

Use the help menu for suggestions.

Good luck.
