| | In addition to the dramatically different user interface and new file formats shared with other Microsoft Office 2007 programs, Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 also sports an upgraded look and improved tools: - PowerPoint 2007 includes new Themes, Layouts, and Quick Styles which offer you a wide range of options for formatting your presentations. In the past, formatting a presentation was time-consuming because you had to choose the color and style options individually.
With one click, the background, text, graphics, charts, and tables all change to reflect the theme you select, ensuring all elements in your presentation complement one another. Select a theme, and the Quick Style galleries change to adapt to that particular theme.
- When you scroll over the wide variety of presentation themes in PowerPoint, you’ll see slides and objects display with Real-time Previews that show you what they will look like if you decide to apply the settings.
- With Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 there are now expanded choices for slide layouts in each slide master. Plus, you can also create your own Custom Slide Layouts.
- New SmartArt diagrams, a new charting engine, and enhanced graphics help you create professional-looking layouts with 3-D shapes, transparency, drop shadows, and other effects. Slide graphics can look even more impressive with improved text and shape effects including reflections, glows, soft edges, and enhanced 3D controls.
- Microsoft Chart has been banished! PowerPoint 2007 charts are now automatically created in Excel for ease of use and more professional results.
- By using two monitors, and the Presenter View, you can run your PowerPoint 2007 presentation from one monitor while your audience views it on the second monitor. With the Presenter View, you can customize which slides to display, see preview text, and use speaker's notes as a script for your presentation.
- With new and improved features that Protect and Manage information, you can find and remove hidden data and personal information, and prevent changes to a final version of a presentation.
