Powerpoint 2010 Overview
Ever since I downloaded the free office 2010, I had been playing around with all its applications.I must say that I am impressed with the enhancements that I see. Powerpoint is the world’s most widely used presentation application and as expected, Microsoft has introduced a lot of cool features in Powerpoint 2010.
While Office 2007 improved the rendering quality of static content, Office 2010 has improved the rendering of dynamic content like Videos, animations and transitions through its new DirectX 9.0 powered core rendering engine!!! Powerpoint 2010 makes it easy to present on the fly to anyone, anywhere in addition to leveraging your graphics hardware to greatly enhance the performance of Powerpoint slideshows.
To broadcast a powerpoint demo, simply open any presentation in PowerPoint 2010, click Broadcast Slide Show, and connect to the PowerPoint Broadcast Service. You will be given a unique link that you can share with your remote attendees. The rest is usual. Just start the powerpoint slide show and present it the same way you do for any other presentation with Microsoft Powerpoint.
The remote attendees listening on the phone or a conference call need to click only once to open the shared link in their Web browser and watch the broadcast. This view has the same cross-platform and cross-browser support as the Office Web Apps. All PowerPoint 2010 users can access the PowerPoint Broadcast Service using a Windows Live ID.
PowerPoint 2010 has also revamped Animation and Transition Effects and provides a host of new transition effects. In Powerpoint 2010, video playback is also handled seamlessly inside the PowerPoint application, without launching external video players like Windows Media Player!!!
Powepoint 2010 continues to have the Ribbon and it is now customizable.It is easy to make new Ribbon tabs and add or remove commands from the tabs easily!!! It is also easy to convert your Powerpoint into videos in Powerpoint 2010. To create a video, click the Office button on the top left and navigate to Share –> Create a Video Option. Further, it is easy to embed videos into your PowerPoint presentations. It also includes a build-in video editing feature to trim videos, add effects, etc.
The built-in Screen Capture Tool makes it easy to capture and embed screenshots in the slides. Most Office users were annoyed at the fact that they cannot open the Powerpoint 2007 slides in earlier versions of Powerpoint. Microsoft has got this right this time and it is easier to open Powerpoint 2010 presentation in Office 2007 (.pptx format) or earlier versions (.ppt format).
With co-authoring, you can simultaneously edit the same presentation with individuals in different locations. You can also use Office Communicator or your instant messaging application to view the availability of others who are authoring a presentation with you and easily initiate a conversation without leaving PowerPoint.
In Powepoint 2010, you can view and edit multiple presentations independently, side-by-side, or even on separate monitors!!!
Get the Office 2010 Beta and enjoy creating stunning presentations with Powerpoint 2010!!! Enterprises can also free download Office 2010 Upgrade Assessor to assess the deployability of Microsoft Office 2010.
