NEW BOOK PROVIDES INNOVATIVE WAY FOR BUSY READERS TO CREATE POWERPOINT
PRESENTATIONS

Berkeley, CA, May 21, 1996 Osborne/McGraw-Hill announces the publication of
PowerPoint for Windows 95 for Busy People, the newest addition to the
best-selling Busy People series. Written by best-selling author Ron
Mansfield, the book takes the welcome approach of teaching today's
overburdened professional to create compelling PowerPoint presentations,
while requiring a minimum investment of time. 

PowerPoint for Windows 95 for Busy People, like all the Busy People books,
recognizes the essential irony of our high-tech age-that although
technological innovations empower us, they also accelerate everyone's
expectations. Accordingly, this full-color, illustrated guide is designed
to bring readers up to speed with PowerPoint for Windows 95 without eating
away at precious workday hours. 

Beginning with a quick review of the basics, PowerPoint for Windows 95 for
Busy People presents snappy lessons in working with PowerPoint's Wizards,
built-in templates, text, graphics, and multimedia files. The guide then
delves into step-by-step editing techniques and demonstrations on how to
create attractive handouts and prepare video presentations. Time-saving
shortcuts and workarounds are highlighted throughout, and everything's
organized logically so that readers can quickly find what they need to
know and then move on. 

According to Scott Rogers, Osborne/McGraw-Hill's executive editor,
"Although we live in a deadline-oriented world that leaves us little time
to create elaborate presentations, people today expect a level of
sophistication and polish in all aspects of their communications. 

PowerPoint for Windows 95 for Busy People was written so that anyone-no
matter how busy-can create memorable presentations with Microsoft's
PowerPoint for Windows 95." 

PowerPoint for Windows 95 for Busy People is softcover, 281 pages,
full-color, and has illustrations throughout. Suggested retail price:
