Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances
If you're vexed and perplexed by PowerPoint, pick up a copy
of Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances. This funny, and often
opinionated, guide is chock full of tools and techniques for
eliminating all the problems that drive audiences and
presenters crazy.
There's nothing more discouraging than an unresponsive
audience--or
worse, one that snickers at your slides. And
there's nothing more maddening than technical glitches that
turn your carefully planned slide show into a car wreck.
Envious when you see other presenters effectively use nifty
features that you've never been able to get to work right?
