Acknowledgments
Thanks to the wonderful editorial team at Wiley for another job well done, including the always cheerful and well-organized Katie Mohr, my acquisitions editor.
One of the fun things about the computer book publishing industry is that you tend to run into the same people repeatedly in different capacities. This book was a great example of that, as I was reunited with former co-worker Mark Enochs, a talented editor from "the old days" a decade or so ago, when I was an in-house editorial manager for another publisher. Other familiar names on this book's credits page include Mary Beth Wakefield, who knows more about book production than anybody, and Richard Swadley and Joe Wikert, who were already veteran managers in the industry when I was brand-new to it, back in the early 1990s. It's a pleasure to work with such an experienced, professional staff who knows how to make the editorial and production process run smoothly.
When I was asked to write this book, my first request was to get Echo Swinford, a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP, lined up to be my technical editor. She did an outstanding job once again on this book, as she did on my previous book, The PowerPoint 2003 Bible.
I'd also like to thank the entire Microsoft PowerPoint MVP community for the wonderful work they do in helping the PowerPoint user community, especially Shyam Pillai, Geetesh Bajaj, and Sonia Coleman. This book is peppered with references to add-ins and articles that they have made available on the Web. Several of the MVPs have also graciously consented to let me use some of their templates and add-ins on the CD that accompanies this book. You guys rock.
