Images: PowerPoint 2007 beta 2

The updates to Microsoft's PowerPoint are supposed to make it less of a hassle to dress up slide shows. We take a look.

PowerPoint 2007 beta 2
PowerPoint is the ubiquitous tool business people and students use to create multimedia presentations. The 2007 updates are supposed to make it less of a hassle to dress up slide shows. Most of PowerPoint's features are available as icons in a tabbed ribbon atop the interface. And dynamic, visual galleries let you see a change before finalising it.

In trying out the beta, we found that the two-pane presentation of the PowerPoint file is similar to that of earlier editions of the application, but the ribbon menu along the top of the interface sets it apart from its predecessors.

    Mmmmm ... hope it's better than it looks Lawrie Conole -- 13/06/06 (in reply to #120135946)

    This is really shallow I know, but why is the new MS stuff so UGLY!!?? The new design for the desktop is really offputting, and I'm not convinced the layout is more intuitive - ie. it's likely to be less productive for long standing users of the Office apps.
