"I find your book the best of the three I have bought to learn PowerPoint."
        -Robert Maddin

This book was a HUGE help for me while learning PowerPoint 2007. It was remarkably clearly written and easy to follow. While I'm not a big fan of all the changes to the PowerPoint (and the Office suite generally), it's great to have a well-written guidebook for coping with the increased complexity!

"I read your book, How to Do Everything with PowerPoint 2002 and loved it. It really gave me the know-how to deliver an amazing sales presentation."

Using a Summary Slide for a Question & Answer Session

A summary slide creates a slide listing the slide names of selected slides. Besides using a summary slide for summaries, you can use it to create agenda slides.

A nice use for the summary slide is for a question & answer session. Here's how:

  1. Select all the slides you want to include. You might want to leave out the first slide, for example, because presumably no one will ask you any questions about it.
  2. Click Summary Slide on the Outlining toolbar.
  3. PowerPoint places the summary slide before the selected slides. Go into slide sorter view and move the slide to the end of your PowerPoint presentation.
  4. Hyperlink each slide title back to its slide. (Select the text and choose Insert > Hyperlink.)
  5. Be sure to add hyperlinks on each of the slides back to the summary slide. If you attach the hyperlink to an image or AutoShape, it will be invisible.
