Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 enables users to
quickly create high-impact, dynamic presentations, while integrating
workflow and ways to easily share information. From the redesigned user
interface to the new graphics and formatting capabilities, Office PowerPoint
2007 puts the control in your hands to create great-looking presentations.

• Get better results faster with a redesigned user interface. Office
  PowerPoint 2007 has a redesigned user interface with a new look and feel
  to make creating, presenting, and sharing presentations an easier and
  more intuitive experience. You now have 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.


• Create powerful, dynamic SmartArt diagrams. Easily create
  relationship, workflow, or hierarchy diagrams from within Office
  PowerPoint 2007. You can even convert a bulleted list into a SmartArt
  diagram or modify and update existing diagrams. It's also easy for users
  to take advantage of rich formatting options with the contextual
  diagramming menus in the new user interface.


• Help ensure that your content is up to date. With PowerPoint Slide
  Libraries, you can easily repurpose slides from existing presentations
  stored on a site supported by Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
  Not only does this cut down the time you spend creating presentations,
  but any slides you insert from the site can be synchronized with the
  server version, to help ensure your content is up to date.


• Create presentations quickly and easily by re-using custom layouts.
  In Office PowerPoint 2007, you can define and save your own custom slide
  layouts, so you no longer have to waste valuable time cutting and
  pasting your layouts onto new slides or deleting content on a slide with
  the layout you want. With PowerPoint Slide Libraries, it is easy to
  share these custom slides with others so that your presentations have a
  consistent and professional look and feel.


• Apply a consistent look and feel in one click. Document Themes help
  you change the look and feel of your entire presentation with just one
  click. Changing the theme of your presentation not only changes the
  background color but the colors of diagrams, tables, charts, and fonts,
  and even the style of any bullet points within a presentation. By
  applying a theme, you can be confident that your entire presentation has
  a professional and consistent look and feel.


• Dramatically modify shapes, text, and graphics with new tools and
  effects. You can now manipulate and work with your text, tables, charts,
  and other presentation elements in much richer ways than ever before.
  Office 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.

• Communicate with users across platforms and devices. Help ensure
  broad communication with your PowerPoint presentations by converting
  your files to XML Paper Specification (XPS) and PDF for sharing with
  users on any software platform.*


• Reduce your document sizes and improve file recovery at the same
  time. The new, compressed Microsoft Office PowerPoint XML Format offers
  a dramatic reduction in file size, while also offering an improvement in
  data recovery for damaged files. This new format provides a tremendous
  savings to storage and bandwidth requirements, and reduces the burden on
  IT personnel.


• Integrate presentations stored in Microsoft Windows SharePoint
  Services with Microsoft Office Outlook. With Office Outlook 2007, you
  can fully interact with information stored in Windows SharePoint
  Services anywhere, anytime. Any changes you make to the presentation
  saved in Outlook will be reflected on the server version when you
  reconnect to your network.


• Easily repurpose and share content. 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 Office 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.


• Use Microsoft Office Groove 2007 for real-time review sessions.
  Using Groove, you can initiate a live review of a PowerPoint
  presentation within a Groove workspace. You can view and work on a
  presentation collaboratively and in real time with your teammates while
  taking advantage of presence information and instant messaging
  capabilities built right into your workspace.

* You can save as a PDF or XPS file from
a 2007 Microsoft Office system program only after you install an add-in.

• Initiate a review or approval workflow right from within Office
  PowerPoint 2007. With Office PowerPoint 2007 and Office 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.


• Help protect the private information in your documents. Detect and
  remove unwanted comments, hidden text, or personally identifiable
  information using the Document Inspector, to prepare your presentation
  to be shared with others.


• More securely share your PowerPoint presentations. You can now add a
  digital signature to PowerPoint presentations to help ensure that the
  contents are not changed after it leaves your hands, or mark a
  presentation as "final" to prevent inadvertent changes. 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.
