Exploring Microsoft PowerPoint, Version 4.0

Book excerpt: Featuring a full-color format, each title in this timely series shares a common design, pedagogy, and writing style that will appeal to readers in a variety of disciplines, including business, liberal arts, and the sciences. Robert T. Grauer and Maryann Barber emphasize concepts and theory - not just keystrokes or mouse clicks. Readers are encouraged to extend this information by exploring additional commands and applications on their own. Tutorials with numerous screen shots help guide you through each step of every exercise. Boxed tips and shortcuts provide helpful instruction throughout while troubleshooting inserts anticipate mistakes and outline recovery procedures. "Exploring Windows" exercises help promote understanding through hands-on involvement. And finally, each application module includes a data disk that supports the exercises and tutorials, enabling students to fully explore the Windows environment.
