Excellent Maryland Trivia Compendium!.......2002-10-13
Maryland trivia compiler Shirley Menendez and others have performed a very worthwhile service with this excellent book. It encompasses a broad spectrum of topics. You will be amazed by some obscure facts you never knew existed.
The history chapter of this book by accident omits a significant event in the history of Baltimore. My great-grandfather was a German immigrant named Boston Fear. He created Walbrook: Baltimore's very first suburb. Walbrook was originally named Fearville in honor of Boston Fear. The movie industry's very first superstar, Francis X. Bushman, was given his very first job in life by Boston Fear.
Few books have ever been written pertaining to the subject of Maryland trivia. I highly suggest you own a copy of this book!

Believe it or not, there's lots of fascinating information about schools in Maryland. You won't believe how much things have changed, and how much they've stayed the same.

PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.......2003-12-30
This almost $30 book looks like a middle school project, and as a teacher I would have given the student a "C-". Assuming Ms. Marsh is an adult, the grade has to be lowered to an "F"!
The book looks like top 10 lists printed off the internet combined with stock clipart. I can't think of any reason that someone would intentionally buy this book.
My wife bought this for me for Christmas after she saw it on my Amazon wish list. I guess I didn't look at the details nearly enough. She was embarrassed to have me open it on Christmas morning, and I felt bad for having her buy it on my recommendation.
We are promptly returning this book and discourage anyone from buying this.

Not What I Expected.......2006-06-15
I bought this book based on the feedback on this page. And although I would not call the book unusable, it has a lot of scope for improvement. The book layout is terrible and there is almost zero cross refrencing in the book itself. Imagine the author does not ask the reader to look in another part of the book for more information. So my verdict is that although the book has good content, it's laid out in a haphazard way.
Great beginner's book.......2006-04-03
I love this book. The reason I gave this book 4 stars is because it hopelessly fails trying to get into PowerPoint programming territory. The author should have stayed away from this area and concentrated more on beginner issues. After all, this certainly is a beginner's book. In fact, it's as good as the missing PowerPoint manual. If you want to go beyond the manual, check out the well explained Cutting Edge PowerPoint by Geetesh Bajaj. It makes a great complement to this book. And if you want to do more programming, check out Powerful PowerPoint for Educators by David Marcovitz. And for troubleshooting PowerPoint, look at Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances by Echo Swinford.
Good book from start to finish.......2005-03-10
I really liked this book since it gives a very good overall features and how to's in adddition to advice on how to deliver a presentation in PowerPoint. With this book, you can create a very professional looking powerpoint presentation in an instant. Easy to navigate through the pages and sufficient amount of images to go along with the step by step instruction.
PowerPoint is a must these days for both college students and professional work and this book is a great buy and the price is right. Makes a good reference book.
Great dollar value.......2003-11-03
I find "How to Do Everything with Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2000" a great dollar value. The lack of color between the covers is not a loss, especialy at the checkout counter. As a professional I use computer manuals as a quick resource to solve a particiluar problem. This book is well layed out for topical information and the index in not pretend. The index contains adequate sub-references to make it faster to track down solutions to specific questions. Chapter 1: Get Started With Presentations provides the novice to PowerPoint with the hand holding necessary to get up and going.
You need this book........2003-09-14
This book makes it easy to look up the answers to my questions. It is a perfect book for a novice because the directions are so clear and it's great for me as I know lots but need some help in certain areas. I found that help easily. I love the cautions Ellen gives. For example, she gives a caution about being sure the hyperlink color shows up on the slide. All these pointers make it easy for me to help my clients. She's got call out boxes called tips, short-cuts, cautions, did you know's and how to's. There's an excellent chapter on creating charts. I use this as a reference for when my clients ask me questions as well as an update for what's new in PowerPoint 2003. You can only create more effective presentations using Ellen's clear descriptions and easy to follow pointers.

Really Everything.......2002-06-21
This book shows you how to do everything with PowerPoint 2002 (that's from the title!) - yet the best part of the book is that everything is explained in an easy yet comprehensive style. No task is too difficult - no idea too far to grasp. One might imagine that since this book seems so easy, it might cover just the basics - yet the book goes much beyond mere basics to encompass topics like macros, distribution, delivery, customization - and an excellent chapter on charts. Finally, you'll find snippets of extra info from presentation gurus worldwide - all in one book!

This book is GREAT!!.......2002-05-24
So far, everything I need is in this book. I wrote to the author with a question on a printing problem I was having, and she answered really quickly, and helped me out. Even though my problem really didn't have anything to do with Office! This book is easy to read, but doesn't baby you too much. There is a ton of information in this book and its really organzied and explained well. I recommend this book to any new or intermediate user of Office, even if you alreayd think you know it.
Makes Office seem easy and powerful........2002-02-07
I bought this book because I really liked the Excel Troubleshooting book by the same author. I figured if she could write about Excel and explain both simple and complex concepts with equal effectiveness, she'd probably do a good job with the rest of Office. I was right, and I encourage you to buy this book. The examples are practical and realistic, and the coverage is thorough without being dull, and the author's being a teacher really shows because she really can explain things clearly and seems to have a lot of experience with people using and learning Office. I recommend this book without any reservation.
Great reference for Office XP.......2002-01-18
I've been using Office for a while now, and they upgraded me to XP at work, even though I was happy with 97 (they skipped the 2000 upgrade). There were enough new features in XP and there are a zillion things that even an experienced user can miss about Office, so I decided to get a book. This book really makes it easy to learn them. I found quicker ways to do stuff that I'd been doing the way I taught myself to do them, and found a bunch of new features I didn't even know existed. This isn't one of those NYC phone book-thick books, but it does cover all the parts of the Office suite. The writer is easy to read, gives really clear examples and practical suggestions, and obviously really knows the software and how to explain it all to people. I really recommend this book!!!
