The built-in designs browser lets you quickly find a matching design for each of your presentation projects.     Some of the design templates     included in SoftMaker Presentations 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, freehand drawings, images from your scanner or digital camera, OLE objects, even sound files and movies. 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. But that's not where it ends! If you always considered PowerPoint's special effects rather boring, SoftMaker Presentations will bring a breath of fresh air to your presentations. Whether you want to animate slides like a puzzle game, turn like the pages of a book, or let them go up in flames: the new special effects using DirectX graphics acceleration offer something for everybody. Of course, there is plenty to choose from even for "serious" presentations: many unobtrusive, yet beautiful effects are also available – such as slides shifting to the background and being smoothly replaced by another.   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.
