Re-Designed Interface
PowerPoint 2007 features a redesigned user interface with a new look and feel to make creating, presenting, and sharing presentations an easier and more intuitive experience. You can now enjoy all of the rich features and capabilities of PowerPoint in a streamlined, uncluttered workspace that minimizes distraction and helps you achieve the results you want more quickly and easily. PowerPoint offers a wealth of options that can help improve your business so you can create powerful, dynamic SmartArt diagrams as well as relationship, workflow, or hierarchy diagrams. You can even convert a bulleted list into a SmartArt diagram or modify and update existing diagrams. This new version also makes it easier than ever to take advantage of rich formatting options with the contextual diagramming menus.

PowerPoint Slide Libraries
Wish there were a better way to reuse content from one presentation to another? With PowerPoint Slide Libraries, you can store presentations as individual slides on a site supported by SharePoint Server 2007 and easily repurpose the content later from within PowerPoint. Not only does this cut down the time you spend creating presentations, but any slides you insert can remain synchronized with the server version to help ensure your content is always up to date. You can also use the Slide Libraries to share custom layouts with others so that your presentations always look sharp and professional.

Document Themes For a Consistent Look and Feel
Make sure your presentations command attention with just one click by using Document Themes to help you change the style of your entire presentation. Change the background color as well as the colors of diagrams, tables, charts, and fonts--even enhance the style of bullet points. By applying a theme, you can be confident that your entire presentation has a consistently professional look and feel.

New Tools and Effects
Dramatically modify shapes, text, and graphics with new tools and effects that grab attention. You can now manipulate and work with your text, tables, charts, and other presentation elements in much richer ways than ever before. PowerPoint 2007 makes these tools readily available through the streamlined user interface and contextual menus, so that in just a few clicks, your work can have greater impact.

Effectively Share Presentations
Significantly improve the way you and your team members share and process information by communicating with users across platforms and devices. First, you can help ensure broad communication with your PowerPoint presentations by converting your files to XML Paper Specification (XPS) and PDF, which lets you share with users on any software platform. Reduce your document sizes and improve file recovery at the same time by using the new, compressed Microsoft Office PowerPoint XML Format, which provide a tremendous savings to storage and bandwidth requirements, and reduces the burden on IT personnel. You can also fully interact with information stored in SharePoint Services anywhere, anytime. For added convenience, any changes you make to the presentation saved in Outlook will be reflected on the server version when you reconnect to your network.

Apply the Right Protections to Your Presentations
With PowerPoint 2007 and SharePoint Server 2007, you can send a presentation to your team for review or create a formal approval process and collect signatures on that presentation, making collaboration a smooth and easy process. You can also help protect the private information in your documents by detecting and removing unwanted comments, hidden text, or personally identifiable information using the Document Inspector. For added peace of mind, add a digital signature to your presentations to help ensure that their content remains the same after they leave your hands, or mark a presentation as "final" to prevent inadvertent changes. Finally, using content controls, you can create and deploy structured PowerPoint templates that guide users into entering the correct information, while helping to protect and preserve the information in the presentation that cannot be changed.

1.0 out of 5 stars terrible product, April 2, 2009

This product is almost impossible to use.

Three months ago, after spending frustrating hours trying to figure out how to create a presentation, I was finally able.

Now, with another presentation, I can't figure it out. Back to square one. I ended up re-using the old presentation, because I couldn't figure out how to make layouts for a new one.

The program uses a Master Slide system that is hard to find. Once you find it, you create Master Slide layouts. But they don't behave as you would think when you go to create the slides. The text you put in the Master Slide layout does not show up. Slide numbers don't show up.

I was a software developer for 20 years, and have mastered hundreds of programs. This one baffles me to an extreme degree.

Be prepared for maximum frustration with PowerPoint 2007.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid program, yet sometimes hard to use., February 8, 2009

Microsoft completely reorganized the menu options into their new "ribbon" menu system with this release. Most of the time, the ribbon is easy to navigate and find what you're looking for. Other times, what seems like it should be a one or two step process, often takes 4+ steps with the supposedly great ribbon.

Overall, this version of PowerPoint is fairly stable and works well.

When I installed it, it erased Word and Excell. Microsoft refused to do anything about it, even though they agreed I installed it correctly.

I then had to purchase the entire package and found out that I could have bought the entire package cheaper than I paid for just the Power Point alone.

Not a good deal.
