Office 2010 PowerPoint Viewer

PowerPoint Viewer for People Who Don’t Have Office 2010

PowerPoint Viewer, as you probably know, is a free application that lets you view PowerPoint presentations on your computer even if you don’t have Microsoft Office installed on your computer.


Microsoft Office 2010 team released a new version of their PowerPoint Viewer that’s much like its predecessor except that it also supports the new PowerPoint 2010 file format.

The PowerPoint viewer can play the new transitions and video effects that were introduced in Office 2010 but if you embedded a web video in your presentations, that won’t play through the standalone viewer.

Also, the PowerPoint Viewer requires installation – had it been a portable utility, you could just copy the presentation and the viewer on a USB drive and deliver presentations on any Windows computer.

Mysterious Graphical Handling

Mysterious Graphical Handling

Microsoft Word has a handy feature for manipulating shapes and graphics in documents. When you've placed multiple graphical elements, you can group them so they stay together when you move them and remain the same relative size when you resize them.
But in Word 2007 this feature seems not to work. You can't select multiple graphical items, so there's no way to group them or determine which overlapping objects are in front of which others. !

It turns out that in Word 2007, there's an extra step. Before you start adding graphics you have to define a "Canvas" to hold them.
Click Insert -> Shapes -> New Drawing Canvas.
Add your pictures and shapes to the drawing canvas. Now you can group them, ungroup them, put one behind another, and so on—all the actions that you were accustomed to in Word 2003.

7) You will notice your cursor is now a cross, and no longer an arrow. That means you can now draw where you want your Shockwave/Flash file to appear on your slide. Simply draw with your mouse, and use the adjustment handles on the box to make sure it is just the right size and position on your slide. When you are done you should see a wireframe box with a big “X” through the middle of it
