Introduction
PowerPoint as an expression
is routed through mundane stuff like the screen, toolbars
and menus - to transpire a change that metamorphoses an
unassuming blank slide into a display of intelligent
design.
You'll find that human imagination is at the nucleus of
any such process - it is also true that some tasks are
repetitive, boring or difficult. Don't you think it would
be great if someone has already done all the tasks for
you - and all you need to do is click a button?

About pptXTREME
 Many
automation routines
can be called inside PowerPoint with the hep of add-ins -
two add-ins that I'm reviewing here are
called:
pptXTREME Import/Export
pptXTREME Edit
Import/Export and Edit are from pptXTREME,
a business entity based in New York, USA. Headed by Keith
Tromer, pptXTREME develops various
commercial add-ins for PowerPoint apart from providing
various other presentation solutions to business clients
- these include meetings, events, interactive presentations,
Internet development and digital video.
Keith Tromer has been in the industrial meetings business
for 20 years now - although he runs a full service production
company, the bulk of his work revolves around graphics.

Trials for all pptXTREME add-ins are
full working programs that function for 30 days
in trial mode - thereafter, if you still want to use the
product, you'll have to register.
Installation for the Import/Export and Edit add-ins were
single step affairs that entailed executing the downloaded
setup file. My test system had both PowerPoint 2000 and
2002 installed - initially, I had some problems with
one of the add-ins not showing up in PowerPoint 2000 -
further interactions with Keith through e-mail support
prompted me to download a later version of the add-in in
which problems resulting from the existence of multiple
PowerPoint versions on the same system was resolved.
Now that we have the add-ins installed and working, let's
start working with them....
