Mac PowerPoint 2008 Animated Templates

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

PresenterMedia’s animated PowerPoint templates work great with Mac PowerPoint 2008 and 2010, and they will also work with Apple’s Keynote software. In fact some people claim that the templates actually look even better when played from a Mac computer.

There are a couple of items to check if you plan to use Mac PowerPoint 2008 to play our animated templates.

1. Check for Updates

First of all, you need to make sure that you are running the most up to date version of your PowerPoint software. Microsoft has release several updates to Mac PowerPoint 2008 and some of them are essential for the animated features to operate properly.

It’s easy to check if to see if you are currently running the most up to date version of your software, simply go to the Help Tab in PowerPoint, and click “Check for Updates”. Install any of the updates you are missing.

2. Flip4Mac

The second item that any Mac user will need is the free Quicktime plug-in called Flip4Mac. This plug-in enables Quicktime to play Microsoft’s .WMV video files. This also has the added bonus of allowing our templates to be cross-platform compatible. Microsoft distributes Flip4Mac for free and it can be downloaded from their site here.

After you have installed any updates and the Flip4Mac plug-in, shutdown and start up your computer and away you go with awesome multi-media templates for PowerPoint.

Custom Crosswords for PowerPoint

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

We recently had a great request from one of our subscribers about creating custom crossword like diagrams in PowerPoint. It’s pretty easy to do a straight 2D perspective, but what about adding in some neat 3D perspective to give an eye catching look to the slide diagrams.

Example Crossword Diagram Slide

PresenterMedia artist, Josh Doohen, took on the project and came up with this new PowerPoint template called Create Your Crossword.

This template is build strictly with PowerPoint shapes so you can easily change the color and add your own text to the blocks. Simply start with one of the arrays of blocks and add in your words, then delete all the extra blocks you do not need. The end result is a clean and unique illustration for your next presentation.
