I wrote this book in a few hours with the intention of being a quick starter guide and a general introduction to PowerPoint. This book has been used as a study guide for a class I teach at Forest Academy called "PowerPoint Essentials." It follows my first book on an element of Microsoft Office called "Excel Essentials" You will have enough information that serves as a strong platform to learn more. To use the expression, you will learn in a few short pages enough to be "dangerous." This book is a simple direct to the point presentation of how to use PowerPoint to make impressive looking presentation with animation and narration. You'll get to know all the fancy techniques in a few pages. With what you learn in this book, you will have the ability to intuitively learn other topics on your own that is not covered in this book. You'll have enough understanding to become a PowerPoint expert. David K. Ewen, M.Ed. Forest Academy April 2014
