Learning PowerPoint

Do you want to learn more about the small things that make your PowerPoint experience easier. Many subscribers have told me that they want more usability and learning articles. Here are some tutorials:

Video Backgrounds Released

CrystalGraphics released version 1.3 of their Video Backgrounds Player and 29 new volumes of moving Video Backgrounds content -- both of them are separate products -- do take a look here...

Focus on WildPresenter

If you have used any of the PowerPoint to Flash converter programs, here is something different. Like most other programs WildPresenter, a product from Wildform imports your PowerPoint presentation, but it doesn't export it to Flash straightaway. In fact, it provides an environment not too different from PowerPoint that lets you fine-tune your presentation before you export to Flash. During the process, you can preview your presentations. The Flash output is much smaller than other applications.

Check out the full review...

In addition, here's an Indezine exclusive -- a quick conversation with Jonathan Blank of Wildform...

Featured Story

Adobe Captivate's Edit View

In an earlier post last week, I discussed Adobe Captivate's views and compared them to PowerPoint's deafult views. I also explained about the Storyboard View. In this post, I'll look at Captivate's Edit view, which in many ways is similar to PowerPoint's Normal view. If you are not already in Edit view within Captivate, choose the View drop-down in the toolbar, and select Edit View.
