Get a Look at PowerPoint 2010

Larry Larsen — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:33:00 GMT

Earlier this week the Office team released a video that showed some of the new features of PowerPoint 2010, part of the Office 2010 suite. The latest version is hardware-accelerated with new transitions and animations. All of this means that you can better use PowerPoint to not just present bullet points or graphs, but to really tell your story.

Here is that video, all of which was done with PowerPoint 2010.

Adding Tabs to a TabSet in Office 2007 Apps

John Wiese — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 16:47:00 GMT

You may have noticed, say in Powerpoint, that when you click on a Chart that you've inserted there is a cool little grouping of tabs that happens. You'll see that you get a "Chart Tools" tab set created in the title bar that shows you that the Design, Layout and Format tabs all apply to charts.

You can add your own tabs to these tab sets, or add groups to a tab within the tab set, this video will show you how.

How to Send Just a few Slides from PowerPoint as an Email Attachment

John Wiese — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:00:00 GMT

Ever wanted to send someone just one or two slides from a PowerPoint deck? Have you gone through the painful process of deleting all the slides you didn't want to send and then saving it as a new deck, then sending it? Or maybe you've copied the ones you wanted and then pasted them into a new deck before sending? Worse yet, did you copy them and past them directly into the email as images and thus make your email to big to send? Ok, you get the picture.

This is a common occurence around Microsoft too, at least I thought it was. And given the internal responses I've received from around the world to my new add-in, I wasn't too far off.

So, I thought I'd share the "how-to" with everyone else. Enjoy!
