Improved Ribbon |
The Ribbon makes all
the commands needed to work with a program readily
available. The Ribbon was introduced in PowerPoint
2007, but has been improved in PowerPoint 2010: now
you can create your own tabs and groups for the
Ribbon. We will also show you how to rename or change the order of
default tabs and groups. |
|
Backstage View |
Backstage view is
where you open, save, print, share, and manage your
files and program options. We will show you how to
access Backstage. |
|
Presentation
Management |
Three new tools help
you manage, protect, and share your presentations:
Recover previous versions lets you revert to
an earlier version of your presentation.
Protected view helps protect your computer from
online attacks when opening files from the Internet.
Trusted documents remembers which files you
trust so you aren’t prompted each time the file is
opened. |
|
Paste with Live
Preview |
We will show you what pasted content will look with various paste
options before you paste it. |
|
More Themes and
Styles |
Predefined styles and
themes let you change the overall look and feel of a
presentation in just a few clicks. Now Office 2010
has even more themes you can apply to your
documents. |
|
Improved
Picture-Editing Tools |
There are many new
ways to edit pictures and images in your
presentations.
Insert screenshots: You can take a screenshot
or screen clipping and add it to your presentations.
Improved SmartArt:
Now you can add SmartArt that uses photographs.
Other tools: New picture editing tools let
you refine the brightness, contrast, or sharpness of
a picture; add artistic effects; and control
cropping and compression. |
|
Accessibility Checker |
The Accessibility
Checker lets you find and fix issues that can make
it difficult for people with disabilities to read or
interact with your presentation. |
|
Language Tools |
Improved language
tools let multilingual users set preferences for
language settings in Office 2010. |
|
Organize
Presentations |
Organize slides into
sections for simplified editing and navigation. |
|
Insert Equations |
PowerPoint 2010’s
built-in Equation Tools make it easier to write and
edit equations in your slides. |
|
Improved Transition
and Animation Tools |
The ability to apply
and edit transition and animation effects has
greatly improved in the new edition of PowerPoint.
Besides the addition of great new effects,
animations and transitions now each have a dedicated
tab on the Ribbon. You can also apply copied
animation effects with the use of the new
Animation Painter tool. |
|
New Audio and Video
Tools |
There are some great
new features for using audio and video clips in your
presentations. All audio and video clips are
automatically embedded in the file so you no longer
have to manage multiple files. You can now insert
Web videos directly into your presentation so you no
longer having to leave the presentation to play
Web-based videos. We will also show you how to use
the new editing tools to
trim the length of clips, fade in and out, and use
bookmarks to navigate clips or trigger animation
effects. |
|
Media File Size
Management |
Inserting audio,
video, and images into your presentation can make
the file size unruly. The Compress Media tool
allows you to reduce the size of the media files to
make sharing easier. |
|
Broadcasting
Presentations |
Have an off-site
audience with whom you want to share your
presentation? All they need is a Web browser. You
can now broadcast your presentation over the
Internet using the PowerPoint Broadcast Service
through Windows Live, or another service. |
|
Sharing Presentations |
Share presentations
via e-mail in several different file formats,
including video. |
|
Collaboration Tools |
If you have a
SharePoint 2010 server, you can save your
presentation to a shared space where several users
can work on a presentation simultaneously. If that
isn’t an option, you can use the new Compare
command to compare and merge different versions of
the same presentation. (optional demo) |
|
Laser Pointer Tool |
With a simple
keystroke combination, you can turn your mouse
pointer into a laser pointer. |
