PowerPoint 2007

Follow these steps to turn one shape that you've used in your presentation into one of many other shapes available in PowerPoint 2007.

You can change the look of your text or WordArt by changing its fill, changing its outline, or adding effects, such as shadows, reflections, glows, or three-dimensional (3-D) rotations or bevels. In Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, you can also make these changes to text on a slide.

A theme is a quick and easy way to give a professional and modern look to an entire 2007 Microsoft Office system document. A document theme is a set of formatting choices that include a set of theme colors, a set of theme fonts (including heading and body text fonts), and a set of theme effects (including lines and fill effects).

A PowerPoint photo album is a presentation that you can create to display your personal or business photographs. You can add effects that include attention-grabbing slide transitions, colorful backgrounds and themes, specific layouts, and more.

In the 2007 Microsoft Office system, themes simplify the process of creating matching, professional-looking documents not only within one program but across multiple programs.

You can change the formatting defaults associated with a shape, text box, or other object and then make your changes the new defaults for all shapes, text boxes or other objects that you add. For example, you can change the fill color, weight of lines that make up the border of a shape, or the fonts used in a text box.

If you use a Tablet PC, you can review and comment on a Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation by using the pen and ink tools in PowerPoint.
