Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Direct your audience's attention to your key points! PowerPlugs: SuperShapes adds television-style still and animated shape effects to your PowerPoint presentations. SuperShapes goes way beyond the static 2D world of PowerPoint's AutoShapes with artistically designed, colored and animated 3D shapes such as arrows, buttons, text frames, banners, separators and more! These professional quality shape effects will visually direct your audience's attention to your key points by pointing, surrounding, and underlining them.

SuperShapes is not a clipart package. It has as its foundation a powerful software engine that lets you easily browse and select from a wide variety of pre-created shape effects. It also lets you edit the effects to your heart's content. For example, you can change colors, timing, size, even proportions!

But, the greatest thing about SuperShapes is that you can usually get the exact effect you want with just a few clicks. Its interface is very intuitive. And it works right inside Microsoft PowerPoint, which helps make it even easier to use!

Features:
* Plugs in seamlessly to PowerPoint 97, 2000, and 2002 (Office XP)
* Over 140 still and animated effects per volume!
* All shapes are antialiased!
* All shapes are customizable!
* Quick and easy to use!
* Extremely affordable!

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice way to spruce up a PowerPoint presentation, November 3, 2000

This review is from: Power Plugs: Supershapes II 1.0 (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

I bought this product and I am very happy with it.

The description above doesn't really tell you what the product is, so let me tell you about it. It is a software product that plugs into PowerPoint 97, 2000 etc. (Windows version) and lets you add your choice of really good looking arrows and buttons and other useful shapes into your presentation. This lets you point to key statements, or explain the flow of a process, etc.

But the best part (to me) is that you can add your own text to these shapes, and many of them can animate if you want them to. It is very easy to use, and the results are very professional looking.

I first heard about it in a review in PC Magazine earlier this year. They gave it 5 stars and called it a "must-have" product for PowerPoint presenters. I thought, with an endorsement like that, it's worth trying out. And I wasn't disapointed.

I have since learned that the developer, CrystalGraphics, also has a whole line of other PowerPoint-enhancing products. They're worth checking out as well!
