Tips and Tricks
Things Your Mother Never Told You About PowerPoint…

It’s a program with hidden depths – filled with features that most people  never 
realized were there. PowerPoint '07 has even more features, but the new interface can make them difficult to find and use. But don’t try to do it at home! Use us! Here are some of the intriguing possibilities:

Interactivity – the ability to branch to different areas of a presentation,   to call up spreadsheets, to play animations, video and sounds – seamlessly; all without leaving your presentation.

Animation & Video – basic capabilities to animate text and charts, of course, but also to diagram complex processes or procedures in an interesting, logical way. We can even insert animations or motion video created in external programs that will give your show high-level production values.

Looping Trade Show /Continuous Display – You can create excitement, interest and traffic at your next trade show or in your window or lobby with a looping display with your key message… Displaying promotions or giveaways encourage your prospects to register at your booth. 

Kiosks, Interactive Displays – PowerPoint is great for simple touch-screen kiosks or information booths to promote your products or  services. Complex and expensive interactive programs created in software such as Director™ and Authorware™ are time-consuming to create and difficult to change quickly. With a touch-screen monitor and the right PowerPoint programming, you can have many of the benefits of a full interactive display without the associated hassles.

Self-Running “Modules” – We can create a little “show” with music and/or narration that runs within your presentation. Typically, this is used to introduce new products or show a series of pictures such as a retirement event “This Is Your Life”. Also popular is a “candids” presentation at the end of a meeting where the participants are shown having a good time, etc. These help to break up a long speech, hold the audience’s attention and provide an upbeat closer to your meeting.
