With PowerPoint 2008 for Mac, your audiences will see what you mean more clearly than ever before
Make your presentations more memorable with rich media, animations, compelling graphics, and sophisticated themes and templates.
Features
Slide themes:
- A theme is a coordinated set of fonts, colors, and visual effects that gives your presentation a unified design.
- You can preview and apply dozens of professionally designed themes directly from the Slide Themes tab in the Elements Gallery.
- You can also modify themes to match your organization's design, as well as import themes from other Office files.
Custom layouts:
- Use custom layouts to make text and other objects appear precisely where you want them to on your slides.
- For each layout that you create, you can specify the number, size, and location of placeholders, background properties, graphic images, charts, and diagrams.
- Your custom layouts appear on the Slide Layouts tab in the Elements Gallery next to the standard PowerPoint layouts.
Send slide shows to iPhoto:
- If you want to share a presentation with someone who doesn't have PowerPoint, or if you want to have access to your presentation on the go, you can send the presentation to iPhoto.
- After the presentation is in iPhoto, you can sync the slides with a video iPod. PowerPoint creates a picture for each slide in your presentation, and then saves the pictures as an album in your iPhoto Library.
Apple remote-control enabled:
- If your Macintosh computer has an Apple Remote, you can use it to move through your slide show.
- You no longer have to use a mouse to give a presentation.
Dynamic guides:
- Use dynamic guides to easily align or resize objects relative to each other or relative to the center of a slide.
