Review: ToolsToo PPT Add-in

08/12/10 | by Troy Chollar [mail] | Categories: Software/Add-Ins

ToolsToo is a productivity add-in for PowerPoint 2007 and 2010. It is a collection of incredibly valuable tools used when designing slides. It adds a full tab full of 20+ tools that I first tested on a test computer and quickly installed on my main computer and have integrated it into my daily production.

Some tools can be found in other add-ins and I cannot function without, such as:
Equal - width, height, size

And there are a number of tools that I am amazed have not been thought of before as they are so incredibly useful. Here are a few of my favorites:

Adjoin

and make line straight (veritical or horizontal)

AND any tool can be added individually to the QAT! As example: make equal width, make equal height and make same size buttons have been added to my QAT.

There is a free version offered called "ToolsToo Lite" that offeres a limited set of tools. The full tool set reviewed is $20 and is highly recommend.

Troy ChollarNick, you are correct. Unless an add-in specifically says it is 64-bit compatible it will not work. And the ToolsToo add-in, like virtually all others, does not have a 64-bit version.

Andrew MacaulayThis is a great add-on. Yes it is only for Office 32-bit (but the majority of add-ins are still limited, and most users will only need 32-bit even on 64-bit Windows).

This has so many great tools that it quickly becomes indespensible - and can very quickly make sure your PowerPoints are consistent and consistent within themselves (something that is often a challenge without this tool).

Great job!

I work with PowerPoint on a daily basis and I am very honored to be a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP. ThePowerPointBlog focuses on PowerPoint and multimedia development, all of which is hopefully helpful, fun, and at times entertaining. Enjoy!
