101 Advanced Techniques Every PowerPoint User Should Know
After more than a year of work, I’ve finally finished a new ebook, 101 Advanced Techniques that Every PowerPoint User Should Know , that puts together so much of the advanced PowerPoint techniques I’ve learned and used. Many I’ve collected from my website, but about 10% are new, never published on my site.
The ebook is over 240 pages — I didn’t realize that I had that much content on my site!
