Title: When Good Authors Go Bad
Product review: This text is a nightmare... The authors' PowerPoint 2000 text would have to be given 4 or 5 stars. Beginning with chapter 2 the steps in the various instruction sets provided do not map well to the PowerPoint screen. The reader is left to make extensive use of the software's help system.I am MOUS certified in PowerPoint 2000 and am attempting the newly-named Microsoft certification in PowerPoint 2002... I was disappointed in this text--- I would recommend highly these authors' texts in Word 2000, Word 2002, and PowerPoint 2000.The New Perspectives Series,in general, are superior to the Shelly-Cashman Texts.... but not in this case. Thomson Learning publishes both and has added a third series of texts.It is obvious that the exercises were not worked through thoroughly by the authors--- otherwise these errors would have been caught
