Danny Rocks offers a 2-CD set called, “50 Best PowerPoint 2007 Tips, Tricks & Techniques.” If you know something about PowerPoint but want to make better use of the features, I recommend this series.
The 2 CDs contain 41 lessons organized into Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. Each lesson is a professionally-produced video in which Danny verbally explains the feature while showing you how to use it. The lessons run from about 6 to 10 minutes.
The lessons are a great combination of technical information along with his wisdom on when and why you should use the technique. For example, in the lesson on custom shows, he explains when you might want to use them, how to create and use them, and why they’re such an important tool to include in your presentation arsenal.
Some of the topics are:
- Choosing Slide Layouts (Beginning)
- Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar (Beginning)
- Formatting Tables (Intermediate)
- Selecting the Best Chart Type (Intermediate)
- Preparing Presentation Handouts (Intermediate)
- Adding Video to Your Presentation (Intermediate)
- Setting Up Self-Running Presentations (Intermediate)
- Navigating Slides with Hyperlinks (Advanced)
- Disguising Hyperlinks in Slide Shows (Advanced)
- Embedding an Excel Object (Advanced)
- Using Presenter View (Advanced)
The price is $49.95 (down from $99.95) and during August there’s a discount of $10 on the sales page.
Note: I received a free copy to review.
