Animation Pane is Smart Enough To Disappear

With PPT 2010 the animation has a new trick. When editing a slide the Animation Pane can be opened in its standard right-side position.

But when switching to Slide Sorter view it automatically closes.

It is a minor thing, but the animation pane is of no use in slide sorter view. In all early versions it remained open/visible just taking up screen realestate. And when you go back to editing a slide it appears open again until you close it.

Read about this deal at Techinch which is a great deal – if you are a college/university student or faculty.

To summarize the deal:
– Purchase Office 2007 at super price at Ultimate Steal here. Need a valid .edu (education) email address to purchase
– When Office 2010 is released in June, use Microsoft’s free upgrade offer

3D Metalic Text Style (Update)

Earlier this month I showed an example of PowerPoint 3D metallic text I stylized for a presentation. Recently Matthew T. added a Bronze color to the mix and sent it back to me.

First, thanks Matthew for sharing your efforts! The updated slide can be downloaded here.

Second, for the awards show I created the effect for there was only Gold and Silver awards. So Bronze is perfect – just not needed when I created…
