Furthermore, you can add transition effects that appear when going from one slide to the next. SoftMaker Presentations offers a wide range of effects here as well.   Sort, arrange, structure The slide sorter SoftMaker Presentations lets you structure your presentations through its built-in outliner. It looks similar to the one in TextMaker, but is tightly linked to the slides: if you change text in the outliner, the corresponding slide is updated on-the-fly and vice-versa. You can sort slides in the "mini sorter" as well as in the regular full-screen sorter. The mini sorter appears to the left of the current slide, the full-screen sorter occupies the whole application window.   Your competent partner for presentations With SoftMaker Presentations you receive a powerful, compatible, and affordable presentation graphics program.
