Introduction to POWERPOINT2007 Advantages

Office PowerPoint 2007 enables you to quickly create powerful dynamic presentations while integrating more secure workflows and methods to easily share this information. Here are the 10 main ways Office PowerPoint 2007 can help you increase productivity and improve collaboration.

1. Get better results faster with a redesigned user interface.

Office PowerPoint 2007 has redesigned the appearance of the user interface, making it a simpler and more intuitive experience to create, demonstrate, and share presentations. Rich features and functionality are concentrated in an improved, orderly workspace that not only minimizes interference, but also helps users get the results they need more quickly and easily.

2. Create a strong, dynamic SMARTART diagram.

You can easily create a professional and dynamic relationship, workflow, or hierarchy diagram in Office PowerPoint 2007. You can even convert a bulleted list to a diagram or modify and update an existing diagram. The context-sensitive SmartArt diagramming tool in the user interface makes it easy for users to use rich formatting options.

3. Easily reuse content through the Office PowerPoint 2007 Slide Library.

Do you want to have a better way to reuse content between presentations? With the Office PowerPoint 2007 Slide Library, you can save your presentation as a single slide on a Web site supported by Microsoft office SharePoint Server 2007. With the Slide library, you can share the content of your presentation with team members and colleagues, making it easy for anyone to reuse your content. This will not only shorten the time it takes to create a presentation, but all of the slides you insert can be synchronized with the server version, ensuring that the content is always up to date.

4. Communicate with users who use different platforms and devices.

By converting files to XML Paper specification (XPS) and Portable Document Format (PDF) files to share with users on any platform, make sure you can leverage Office PowerPoint 2007 presentations for extensive communication.

5. Create a presentation faster by using a custom layout.

In Office PowerPoint 2007, you can define and save your own custom slide layouts so that you do not have to cut and paste the layout into a new slide or remove content from a slide that has the layout you want. With PowerPoint slide libraries, you can easily share these custom slides with others so that your presentation has a consistent and professional look.

6. Speed up the review process.

The workflow services built into office SharePoint Server 2007 enable you to start, manage, and track review and approval processes in office PowerPoint 2007, enabling users to accelerate the review cycle across an organization without forcing users to learn new tools.

7. Use the Office PowerPoint 2007 theme to unify the presentation format.

The Office PowerPoint 2007 theme lets you change the appearance of an entire presentation with just one click. Changing the theme of your presentation not only changes the background color, but you can change the colors of diagrams, tables, charts, and fonts, and you can even change the style of any bullet in your presentation. By applying a theme, you can ensure that the entire presentation has a professional and consistent look.

8. Dramatically modify shapes, text, and graphics with new tools and effects.

You can manipulate and work with text, tables, charts, and other presentation elements in more ways than ever before. Office PowerPoint 2007 makes these tools accessible by simplifying the user interface and context menus, so you can make your work more effective with just a few clicks.

9. Further improve the security of the Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation.

You can now add digital signatures to your Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation to ensure the integrity of your files, and you can mark your presentation as final to prevent inadvertent changes. These features ensure that content can only be modified or shared in the way you want it to.

10. At the same time reduce the document size and improve the ability to recover damaged files.

The new Microsoft Office PowerPoint XML compression format can significantly reduce file size and, because of the architectural features of this format, improves data recovery for corrupted files. This new format can save a lot of storage and bandwidth requirements and reduce the burden on IT staff.
