The PowerPoint Ezine - 01
by Geetesh Bajaj

Issue 01
The PowerPoint Ezine - a look at what's new, expected and established
in the world of PowerPoint.
This is the introductory ezine, and I'll update it as and when
there is a spurt of new interesting information. Nevertheless,
there will be at least one new issue every month.

Wishes To Fulfill?
A new version of PowerPoint is under development - to be known
as PowerPoint 2001? Each of us would like new features to be incorporated
in the release. There's no better time than now to mail to Microsoft's
wish list. It's easy - all you need to do is mail to mswish@microsoft.com with 'PowerPoint'
in the subject line - here, I've done that for you too - just click
here to mail to Microsoft's Wish List with the subject filled
in! You still have to fill in your wishes.
If you would like to see what other people have been wishing about,
then you could go to Steve Rindsberg's site - Steve maintains and
regularly updates the wishlist. The URL is:
The
PowerPoint Wishlist
While you're there, you could read Steve's excellent PowerPoint
FAQ.

PowerPoint MVPs
Meanwhile Sonia Coleman told me about a great new page on Steve's
site. The URL is:

PowerPoint Autorun CDs
I've been observing the questions being posted at the PowerPoint
newsgroup maintained on Microsoft's servers and there are a few
questions which keep repeating themselves more often than the others
- the most frequently asked question is about autorun enabling
CDs with PowerPoint presentations.
Fortunately, Sonia Coleman maintains an exhaustive reservoir of
information on this subject. The URL is:
Autorun
CD Creator
If you follow all instructions, you'll end up with a CD which
you can just place in your CD or DVD drive - your PowerPoint presentation
will run automatically on autorun enabled systems.
There are further possibilities. For instance, you may prefer
an autorun splash with an option to play the presentation. For
more autorun splash creation options, you can view reviews of a
few such programs at:
Autorun Splash
Programs
To learn how to create autorun CDs with splash screen options
to run multiple PowerPoint presentations, you may visit:
Autorun Multiple PowerPoint Presentations
With AutoPlay Menu Studio

Creativity Un-Block
Creativity blocks are as much a bane for PowerPoint users as they
are for those involved in other spheres of design. Two guest columns
have been put up to accommodate inspiring writings by:
Walter Donavan, who runs the 7Stages site, has sent his observations
- which cover professional creativity blocks ranging from those
concerned with writing or graphics - but his words are universal
- I'm sure you all will derive benefit from them. Read
here...
Kathryn Jacobs is a trainer, girl scout, parent, and whatever
else there is time for. She's also a BrainBench MVP for Microsoft
PowerPoint. She has graciously penned down an exclusive article
for this site - Breaking The Brain Block. Read

Until Next Time...
This is for now. If you have any information to share about anything
to do with PowerPoint and would like to include it in the next
issue of this ezine, mail
me here....
