Best PowerPoint SitesLooking for answers to your PowerPoint questions? Here are ten places to start looking1. The PowerPoint Newsgroup This on-line group can be accessed through your local news reader, or through the web interface on Google Groups. It is a great place for getting answers to all things PowerPoint. The experts there will do their best to provide answers in a timely manner, with humor and food conversations on the side. Traffic on the group tends to be about 100-200 posts a day, but don't let that scare you off. Just read the ones that are of interest to you and leave the rest for future reference. 2. The PowerPoint FAQ ~ http://www.pptfaq.com Part of Steve Rindsberg's great PowerPoint site, this set of pages contains the compiled PowerPoint wisdom of the newsgroup through the years. If questions come up multiple times, Steve adds the question and answers to the page. Start with the " Don't use PowerPoint for anything serious until you've done this" section, then use the rest as a searchable resource. 3. Microsoft's Knowledge Base ~ http://tinyurl.com/v1r Official stands on problems that have been reported and resolved. Contains information, answers, patches, and clarifications on a wide variety of PowerPoint issues. 4. Microsoft's PowerPoint page ~ http://www.microsoft.com/office/powerpoint/default.asp The official site. Location of many new templates, ideas and training. 5. MSO - Linda's great Microsoft Office Help list ~ http://www.freelists.org/webpage/mso This is Linda's excellent question and answer group for all questions and issues related to Office. Hosted by Freelist.org, this list is a wonderful resource for both the new and experienced user 6. PowerPoint Yahoo Group ~ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/powerpoint Yahoo group dedicated to answering PowerPoint questions of all kinds. Not as active as either the MSO list or the newsgroup, but quite the resource, nonetheless. (Do not confuse this with the MicrosoftPowerPoint Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/microsoftpowerpoint). The microsoftpowerpoint group is virtually dead, and generates quite a bit of spam. 7. Keen.com ~ http://www.keen.com Immediate advice available by phone or email. Yes, I will admit that I am one of the experts, but there are others as well. While you will pay for the calls, the advice is generally very good (if I do say so myself), and the prices are very reasonable. 8. The PowerPoint Search Association A group of the best websites about PowerPoint available today on the web. The ten sites on here are run by ten of the most active newsgroup contributors. Check out the page on the FAQ, or the search box on the top of every page of http://www.systemanswers.com/ppt 9. The help button within PowerPoint Why do I put this one so far down on the list? Because while the help in PowerPoint has gotten steadily better with each version of the tool, it still leaves much to be desired. There are tips and techniques, answers to questions, and misc. information in the help pages. However, you will most likely end up using one of the other resources on this list to help you understand some of what the help is saying. 10. Just the Tips, by Nerdy Books A daily Office tip available by email, from their site ( http://www.nerdybooks.com ) or on several other sites across the web including Linda Johnson's site: http://personal-computer-tutor.com/nerdytip.htm ) At least one of each week's tips are on PowerPoint. Check them out as you get time. And there you have it - 10 great places to go for PowerPoint help! |
