In your daily work with Microsoft PowerPoint, you will have noticed that even this comprehensive piece of software leaves room for improvement in some areas - and that's exactly where Efficient Elements for presentations comes into play!
Efficient Elements for presentations comes as an Add-In for Microsoft PowerPoint. Its features will help you speed up your work in Microsoft PowerPoint, each one with a slightly different focus:
- Efficiency Tools - a unique collection of useful helpers
- Slide Wizard - a comprehensive set of standard layout elements at your fingertips
- My Elements - manage your own elements much like favorites in your web browser
- Agenda Wizard - create and update agenda slides automatically
- Shortcuts - quick access to frequently used functions within Microsoft PowerPoint
The Efficiency Tools are a unique collection of useful helpers to speed up your work in Microsoft PowerPoint, be it the alignment, sizing or formatting of shapes, or, for example, attaching a set of selected slides to an email with a single click.
The buttons on the left side of the "Efficiency Tools" toolbar may look familiar, and in fact, they do similar things as the Microsoft originals - just in a more intelligent way. You can now control very easily how shapes are aligned relative to a reference shape - that is what we call the 'Master Shape Concept'.
This same concept also works for aligning sizes of shapes or angles of process arrows. It has never been easier to precisely align shapes and make your slides look professional in a blink.
How many times did you have to adjust indents manually in the past because the spacing wasn't right for the selected font size? With the 'Beautify indents' function this is history, it automatically optimizes the indent spacing based on the font size used.
When it comes to spell checking, Microsoft PowerPoint doesn't provide easy means to set the language for a set of slides or even the complete presentation. Efficient Elements for presentations does just that for you, and you can even customize which language buttons you need on the toolbar.
The 'Tools' menu offers even more useful helpers:
- Save a set of selected slides to a new presentation
- Email a set of selected slides without saving it to a new file beforehand, with just a single click
- Open the Windows Explorer with the current presentation file already selected
- Hide and unhide shapes - temporarily get rid of anything that gets in your way when editing complex slides
- Remove you personal speech notes before sending your presentation to colleagues or customers
- ... and much more!
The Slide Wizard provides you with a well-organized set of useful slide elements optimized to fit your corporate layout, be it an organizational chart, company logos, maps or any other of the highly useful standard elements.
And what's even better: The menu structure and element layout can easily be customized to fit your company's specific needs and corporate layout.
'My Elements' allows you to store and manage your own favorite and frequently used PowerPoint elements in a menu structure, much like favorites in your web browser.
The 'Agenda Wizard' helps you structure your presentations by adding agenda slides between topics. Easily create and update agenda slides using a convenient dialog that allows you to specify a speaker and a duration for each agenda item. If you need to adjust your agenda later on, the time slots will automatically be recalculated and all agenda slides will be updated accordingly.
The 'Shortcuts' toolbar offers quick access to useful and frequently needed PowerPoint functions normally somewhat hidden in PowerPoint.
