Enhance the visual effects of presentations with new themes and rich graphics
Office 2008 comes with new themes, layouts, and Quick Styles that offer users a wide range of
formatting options. Themes simplify the process of creating professional presentations. With one
click, all the background, text, graphics, charts, and tables change to reflect the theme that users
select, ensuring that all elements in the presentation complement one another. Users can apply the
same theme to a Word 2008 document or Excel 2008 sheet that they apply to a presentation.
PowerPoint now supports true 3-d shapes and images, bevels, powerful custom gradient support,
reflections, and soft shadows control, glow effects and much more. In addition, PowerPoint
supports Apple ColorSync technology.
Choose from the new custom-designed table styles
Users can choose from 74 custom-designed table styles. There is even the ability to have banded
tables and different looks for the header and last row. In addition, the new table properties allows
to easily add columns and rows directly from the formatting palette.
Customize presentation layouts
Users can use custom layouts to make text and other objects appear precisely where they want
them to on their slides. For each layout, users can specify the number, size, and location of
placeholders, background properties, graphic images, charts, and diagrams.
