How To Create DVD of Slide Show For Television From PowerPoint Files

One of the applications in Microsoft Office that is much used is PowerPoint. For many people, it is just impossible to work without the use of MS PowerPoint, as it is a very versatile tool that aids both students and professionals who are looking to present a concise report in a simple and effective manner. With PowerPoint's many features, it's easier to get a message across, and there is no better alternative than to use this very efficient MS Office application

Why MS PowerPoint is so Useful and Easy to Use

• For one, PowerPoint's user interface is very easy to use. While some experienced difficulty with the switch from the old 2003 version of PowerPoint to the newer 2007 version, the interface has been generally viewed to be a level up in terms of usability and utility.

• PowerPoint also has a lot of customizable templates available that you can also customize according to your purposes and needs. You can also put in tables, graphs, charts, images, and even videos and music to help make your presentation much more effective and attention-grabbing / attention-retaining. You can even make your own template to make presentations from you or your business become more personalized and professional.

• Relatively small file size. A PowerPoint presentation is typically small, and can easily fit into a USB or flash drive for easy transport and transfer. But the file size also depends on the elements you put in - adding media like pictures and video will naturally increase the file size, but in general, a PowerPoint is very manageable.

• PowerPoint's all in one presentation is also very convenient for someone who needs to incorporate a lot of data and / or media into a presentation. Through the application, a presenter only need a single file (the PowerPoint slideshow) for his or her presentation.

It does sometimes happen though, that there arises the need for a presentation to be burned into a playable DVD where the PowerPoint slideshow plays automatically. This is usually done in cases when a particularly effective presentation needs to be easily distributed - for example, a sales pitch from a company in PowerPoint form can be burned in a playable DVD so the prospective clients can view the said slideshow without having to have the presenter present.

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Home & Student Edition

 

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Home & Student Edition Review

I was running office 2004 and waiting for this. This review is limited but I was looking for specific things.

The good:
-universal binary (faster on intel macs)
-PowerPoint now shows the slides on the left instead of just the text outline.
-you can install it alongside office 2004 and run both versions on the same computer

The bad:
-dragging images from other apps doesn't work anymore
-when you paste an image in word or PowerPoint, it gets converted to a different format so that if you put it back to the original app it's a simple picture instead of an editable one. (for example if you make an illustration in OmniGraffle, paste it in word 2008, you come back a week later and decide you want to tweak it, you can no longer copy the image back to OmniGraffle and edit it. You either must have saved the original or start over. Office 2004 didn't do this and so sadly I'm more productive with office 2004).
-installation is not drag and drop anymore and it installs things like silverlight without asking you. I feel my Mac got dirty now with who knows what installed where.

What didn't change
-you still can't generate motion paths in PowerPoint (to move objects around on a slide) like you can in the PC version since a few versions ago. But you can play this back fine if you generated the PowerPoint on a PC.

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Home & Student Edition Review

Conclusion
-intentionally crippled.
-a step backward for me as I want to use it for lectures in my class but now I'm afraid to because I have hundreds of diagrams and illustrations that now will be locked in PowerPoint.
-I'm going to completely use Keynote/Pages (iWork) from now on. Unfortunately some 3rd party apps require Office so I'm stuck with it. And it doesn't have all the features yet of Office.
-Unfortunately OpenOffice/NeoOffice exhibit the same image formating problem and they have their own issues.
