PowerPoint 2007 is a slide-show presentation graphics program with capabilities for sounds, animations, and movies. Presentations can be given in person, distributed on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, placed on a network, or published to the Web.
In addition to the new interface and other new features common to the the core Office Professional Plus 2007 applications, PowerPoint 2007 offers enhancements in text and typography, table and chart formatting, and presentation options. The new XML file format dramatically reduces file size while also improving data recovery for damaged files.
Installing this product requires a licence key and installation media. Within 14 days of placing your order, instructions for obtaining the licence key will be sent to your organisation's registered e-mail address and free installation media will be delivered to your organisation's registered address.

Sounds can be added from files on a computer, a network, or Microsoft Clip Organizer. Presenters can also record their own sounds or narration to add to a presentation or use music from a CD. The sound can be set to start automatically when the slide is displayed, start on a mouse-click, start automatically but with a time delay, or play as part of an animation sequence.
-
Animation can be added to sounds, hyperlinks, text, graphics, diagrams, charts, and objects to focus on important points, control the flow of information, and add interest to presentations. Presenters can use built-in predefined animation effects or create custom ones. Slides can also include Shockwave Flash objects.
-
Movies and animated GIF files can be added to slides from files on a computer, the Microsoft Clip Organizer, a network, or an intranet. A movie is a desktop video file with an extension such as .avi, .mov, .mpg, or .mpeg. Start options are similar to those for sounds.
