Let's take a look at some of the key enhancements and new ways of doing things in the new PowerPoint. The new user interface that's common to the main Office programs has gotten all the attention -- and not all of it positive. It takes some getting used to, but many users who've given it a chance find it to be more intuitive and quicker to use than the old menu system.
Figure C: The Slide Show tab is used to set up and play the show and control monitor settings. The new Quick Style gallery, with new themes, helps you to put together professional-looking presentations much more quickly because you don't have to select colors and style options individually. Now you can be sure that your graphics elements, tables and charts all match. When you apply a new style or theme, all of these elements change so that they go together and use the same color set.
The Quick Styles gallery changes to coordinate with whatever theme you've selected, too. That means that elements such as SmartArt graphics will be automatically color coordinated with the rest of the elements in the presentation. SmartArt graphics are visual representations of information and ideas that are color coordinated and preconstructed for common purposes, such as listing a number of components or subjects, showing hierarchical relationships, illustrating the steps of a process or procedure, creating a matrix, and so forth.
Tables and charts are important elements of many slide presentations, and PowerPoint makes it easier to create and edit them. It's simpler to cut and paste information from Excel spreadsheets, and adding a table or chart to a slide is a point-and-click operation that's done from the Insert tab.
Figure I: Columns and rows appear in your slide as you highlight boxes in the Table tool. One of the coolest and most useful features of PowerPoint is the live preview feature. You can see how various color themes, fonts, and effects will look on the slide before selecting them.
For example, if you click the Colors down arrow in the Themes section of the Design tab, as you scroll through different themes, they are instantly displayed on the slide. Figure J: Fonts, colors and effects change instantly as you highlight them so you get a preview of exactly how they will look on the slide.
Another new feature in PowerPoint is the ability to run the presentation on one monitor while the audience views it on a second monitor. In Presenter view, what you see on your monitor for example, your laptop and what the audience sees on the second monitor for example, the projector screen are different.
The audience sees only the slide itself. But you see the current slide along with your speaker notes and previews of the next several slides in sequence. You can click any of those slides to go to it instantly, and you can darken or lighten the audience screen without affecting your own. Figure L: Presenter view displays speaker notes and slide previews on your monitor and only the slide on the audience's screen.
Elaborate slide presentations can result in very large file sizes, especially if you use many graphics, embed video, etc. This may make it difficult to e-mail PowerPoint presentations to others because of mailbox limitations.
PPTX reduces file sizes because the files are compressed. This makes them significantly smaller, sometimes up to 75 percent. XML-based files are also easier to recover if some elements in the file are corrupt or damaged. Now you can edit your PDF if necessary. Go to the "Home" tab and then choose the desired output format from the list of options that appear. In order to open the file in PowerPoint, you need to select "to PowerPoint". Here you can customize page range and set the output folder.
When everything is done, click "Convert" to start the conversion process. After the conversion is complete, you can open your converted files as PPT. This exciting software really makes working with PDFs extremely simple for all Mac users by offering them access to highly powerful viewing and editing tools.
Using the software makes it possible to add things like images, watermarks, links and text into your PDF files without having to lose out on the original formatting. Moreover, the software also makes converting PDF files into other file formats extremely simple, thereby saving you valuable time and energy. One of the main reasons why the PDFelement Pro has become so popular is that it is an extremely feature-rich software which really makes working with PDFs easy and pleasurable.
