Making sure every word, image, effect, and slide exists for a good reason
Creating charts and diagrams that instantly make your point
Using animation, navigation, video, and audio to drive home your message, not distract from it
Avoiding mistakes that lead to boring presentations: no more “death by PowerPoint”
Building Web and self-running kiosk presentations that really work
Leveraging the rest of Microsoft Office to create even better presentations
Using third-party add-ons to communicate with PowerPoint even more effectively: video capture, flowcharting, DVD authoring, rehearsal, and more
When you present, you’re on the line: your credibility, your career, your future as a leader. Use your software and imagination to its full potential-with this book!
