PowerPoint 2010 offers exciting new audio and visual capabilities to help you tell a crisp, cinematic story that’s as easy to create as it is powerful to watch. With new and improved tools for video and photo editing, dramatic new transitions and realistic animation, you can add polish to presentations that will captivate your audience. In addition, PowerPoint 2010 enables you to work simultaneously with other people or post your presentation online and access it from virtually anywhere using the Web or your smartphone.1

• Bring more energy and visual impact to your presentations: Save time and money by applying sophisticated photo effects without using additional photo-editing software programs. Transform your images into compelling, vibrant visuals by using new and improved picture editing features such as color saturation and temperature, brightness and contrast, and an advanced cropping tool, along with artistic filters such as blur, paintbrush and watercolor.
• Work with others without having to wait your turn: PowerPoint 2010 redefines the way people can work together on presentations. With co-authoring, you can simultaneously edit the same presentation with individuals in different locations. You can also use Office Communicator or your instant messaging application to view the availability of others who are authoring a presentation with you and easily initiate a conversation without leaving PowerPoint.2
• Add a personalized video experience: Embed and edit video files directly. Easily trim your video to show only relevant sections. Bookmark key points in a video for quick access or trigger animation to begin automatically when those bookmarks are reached. You can also set the video to fade in and out at specified intervals and apply a variety of video styles and effects - such as, reflections, bevels and 3-D rotation - to help you quickly capture your audience’s attention.
• Imagine just-in-time show and tell: Instantly broadcast your presentations by sending out a URL so people can view your presentation on the Web.3 Your audience sees your slides in high fidelity, even if they don’t have PowerPoint installed. You can also turn your presentation into a high-quality video with narration to share with virtually anyone through e-mail, via the Web or on DVD.
• Access your presentations from more locations and on more devices: Post your presentations online and then access, view and edit them from the Web4 or your Windows phone.5 With PowerPoint 2010, you can get things done according to your schedule across multiple locations and devices.

• Create high-quality presentations with stunning graphics: You don’t have to be a design expert to create professional-looking graphics. Use dozens of additional SmartArt® layouts to create many types of graphics such as organization charts, lists and picture diagrams. Transform words into impressive visuals that better illustrate your ideas. Create diagrams as easily as typing a bulleted list or convert text and images to a diagram in just a few clicks.
• Captivate your audience with new transitions and improved animations: PowerPoint 2010 offers new, dynamic slide transitions and animation effects that look similar to graphics you’d see on TV. Easily access, preview, apply, customize and replace animations. You can also use the new Animation Painter to easily copy animations from one object to another.
• Organize and print your slides more effectively: Easily organize and navigate through slides using slide sections. Divide a presentation into logical slide groups, rename sections to help you manage content - such as, to assign slides to a particular author - or easily print just one section of slides.
• Get things done faster: With a simplified way of accessing features. The new Microsoft Office Backstage™ view replaces the traditional file menu to let you save, share, print and publish your presentations with just a few clicks. And, with the improved Ribbon, you can access your favorite commands even more quickly by customising tabs or creating your own to personalise the experience to your work style.
