Giving Mac Presentations for Former Windows Users: With information on Keynote, Powerpoint, adding and editing slides and more. (Tech 101 Kindle Book Series)

Todd Stauffer, author or collaborator on a few dozen books focusing on computing and the Internet, not only shepherds veterans of Windows-based PowerPoint on the transition to Apple's Keynote, but he also explains how PowerPoint may be used on a Mac. He compares and contrasts Keynote and PowerPoint, highlighting the strengths of both. Stauffer details the technical aspects of setting up a Mac for a presentation — "whether in a boardroom or a convention center." Toward the objective of making such presentations more like the compelling examples of the late Steve Jobs, Apple’s founder, Stauffer provides 34 illustrative screen shots and nearly two dozen tips based on his own experience. He discusses adding and editing slides, adding images and effects to slides, reordering and transition between slides, working with projectors and TVs, and effective use of a remote. Slide-driven presentations, Stauffer notes, often fail to hold the audience’s attention. He shows readers how to overcome that challenge.
