PowerPoint 2016 For Dummies

I’m just about to start my first ever degree, and part of the content of the course is to do PowerPoint presentations. I’ve never used PowerPoint before, and I felt that this was the book for me. I’ve not gone all the way through it, but so far, it’s been great and relatively easy to understand. Another book that I will have by my side throughout my course.

This book is an excellent book giving step by step how to use power point application. But if how apply this application in your real life and how to stand front of people is supporting this book in the end it can give more attractions in how to apply it.

Despite there being many you tube videos for PowerPoint, having a printed book to hand is very helpful and I look forward to improving my skills with its aid.

Helped me out immensely as explains it so simply easier to grasp if learning first time

As described - delivered as promised - very American in its writing and very much based on the latest edition of Microsoft. OK but not brilliant.

Ideal reference book if you wish to brush up, refresh or even learn from scratch. Looking forward to using it.

Everything you would expect from The Dummies range, clear, concise and helpful.

Should have ordered hardback

se fosse stato scritto in italiano sarebbe stato sicuramente più utile

Easy to read and follow along!!!

This book helped me go from an intermediate user of an ancient PowerPoint version to an advanced user of the 2016 version in just a matter of days. Highly recommend getting the Kindle version on your computer and having PowerPoint open as you read the book, so that you can go back and forth as needed to practice and get hands-on experience. Would recommend to anyone looking to boost their PowerPoint skills. Well written and edited, no distracting errors (a pet peeve of mine).

For basic info, it's fine. Maybe a decent primer for a full read through, but format and design of the e-book made it difficult to find critical info quickly. So, if you're using it for quick answers, as I do, that's a bit awkward. If you're reading it as a primer, you might have a better experience. I was hoping it would answer some in the trenches user questions more clearly than the MS-Help files, and had limited success with that. If the Amazon scores allowed half points, I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5.

The exact instructions I needed to create videos of PP presentations. The Dummies book line is tops in my view and recommend them. I have used them for investing, Windows, and now presentation software.
