Do you want to create presentations under Linux like you do with
Microsoft PowerPoint in Windows? Make the switch to SoftMaker
Presentations! Only SoftMaker Presentations offers the ease of use
and full feature set you need to create compelling presentations in Linux. |
SoftMaker Presentations 2010 is the presentation graphics
program in SoftMaker Office 2010 – fully compatible with
Microsoft PowerPoint, yet easier to use.
SoftMaker Presentations lets you create any kind of
presentation, from school projects to complex business presentations.
Show your presentations as slide shows, pass them on as PowerPoint
files, or export them as HTML web pages or movie files.
You can add all kinds of AutoShapes and format them
with a full repertoire of graphical variations. Not only that: you
can also animate objects as you like, set up stunning transitions
between slides, insert movies or sound files, and create interactive
slide shows that can be navigated with pushbuttons.
Comes with numerous design templates
SoftMaker Presentations comes with more than 40
attractive design templates: with a simple mouse click, a complete
presentation changes from classic or elegant to fancy and colorful,
and back. The built-in designs browser lets you quickly find a
matching design for each of your presentation projects.

Also shipping with SoftMaker Presentations is a large
collection of picture bullets that let you quickly achieve visually
pleasing results.
Color schemes switch colors with the flick of a key
Color schemes are another feature that makes
your work much easier. With a single mouse click, you can easily
recolor a complete presentation – and SoftMaker Presentations
takes care of matching the colors.
One single command converts the left presentation to
the right one:
|
Blue
color scheme |
|
Red
color scheme |
When you open a PowerPoint file, all existing color
schemes are preserved. The same goes for saving – an important
advantage over some competing products.
Put your presentation in motion: Animations and transitions
SoftMaker Presentations offers a wide range of objects
that you can insert in your presentations: text frames, pictures in a
large variety of file formats, tables, AutoShapes, and freehand drawings.
You can animate each of these objects. If you want to
put your presentation in motion, simply select one or more animation
effects from the huge list of effects that SoftMaker Presentations
provides – SoftMaker Presentations offers all the animations
that you know from Microsoft PowerPoint 2007.
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
and compatible program that lets you create more impressive
presentations than Microsoft PowerPoint does.
If you want to present better than with PowerPoint,
SoftMaker Presentations is the right
software for you.
