Not too long ago (in a galaxy not too far away), the term presentation software meant poster board and marker pens. Times sure have changed. Now, computer presentations are the norm; in fact, you may get some downright dirty looks from your boss if you come into a conference room carrying flip charts or a stack of handwritten transparencies.
The term PowerPoint has become synonymous with fancy-schmancy, computer presentations; in fact, PowerPoint is now a major tool in boardrooms everywhere. And if you haven t been instructed to create a PowerPoint presentation, it s only a matter of time before you will be!

But how do you get started with PowerPoint? How do you get those ideas in your head or on your legal pad into a slick presentation format?
