Efficient Elements for presentations is an Add-In for Microsoft PowerPoint that helps you create more professional presentations in less time. On top of that, it can be customized to support the consistent use of your corporate design.
How exactly does it help me?
- Are you tired of building agenda slides
manually?
Create and update even complex agenda slides in a few seconds using the Agenda Wizard. - Do you have to reinvent the wheel every time
you need a standard element like a process
chain, 3-column design, or puzzle?
Insert such elements with a single click, our Slize Wizard offers a large element library
and is fully customizable! - Are you constantly searching your hard drive
for charts you created some time ago?
Use My Elements to manage your own charts or elements! - Do you find it difficult to align objects?
Use our Efficiency Tools to easily and precisely align objects!
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 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 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.
Alignment & Size
Some of the buttons in this section 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 and sized relative to a reference shape
- that is what we call the 'Master Shape Concept'.
Shapes
Align angles of process arrows or even align complete process chains, harmonize the looks of selected block arrows or rounded rectangles - all with a single click.
Text
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 the buttons to your 3 favorite languages.
Slides
Save a set of selected slides to a new presentation or email a set of selected slides without saving it to a new file beforehand, with just a single click.
Color
Pick a color from anywhere on the screen and add it to your PowerPoint color palette - this is highly useful, for example, if you want to match a color from a photo or customer logo.
Experts
For the power users amongst our customers, we have compiled a set of tools which are typically less frequently used, but highly valued in the event.
