How to Add Transition Effects Between Slides to Your PowerPoint Presentations
We’ve all seen a run-of-the-mill PowerPoint presentation. The presenter clicks a button and instantly, one slide changes to the next. There are no special effects, which is fine for business meetings and other occasions that call for unadorned slide shows with minimal distraction. However, if you’re doing a fun, artistic, or casual presentation, you might be surprised to learn how a few nice transition effects can add special appeal to your slide show.

Introducing Backstage View in Microsoft Office 2010
One of the most compelling changes in Microsoft Office 2010 is the addition of Backstage View. Backstage View is the new interface in Microsoft Access 2010, Excel 2010, InfoPath 2010, OneNote 2010, Outlook 2010, PowerPoint 2010, Project 2010, Publisher 2010, SharePoint Designer 2010, Visio 2010, and Word 2010. It is an MS Office-wide interface and marks one of the best improvements in the new version. Backstage View is essentially the reworking of the data and options that used to be under the File tab in older versions of Microsoft Office. Instead of the drop-down tab that used to be used, now Backstage View presents everything on one page. Accessing Backstage View is as easy as anything. Simply click on the File tab, and Backstage View opens immediately. From Backstage View … Continue reading

An error is given when content exists that makes a file hard or impossible for a person with disabilities to partake in the document.

Microsoft Office 2010 Prediction
New data from Dimensional Research suggests that Microsoft predicts selling a boatload of its MS Office 2010 suite next year. The new study reveals that 4% of corporate IT organizations are already using Office 2010. Now that may not seem significant at first glance, but in reality, the 4% figure is pretty good when you consider that 2010 was just released in May and that growth has been significant in the first six months. Microsoft typically struggles when they release new suites. The project of proving why IT companies need to upgrade becomes vital, but Microsoft has been spending an awful lot of this year farming out information about its Windows Phone 7. MS Office 2010 has been somewhat of an afterthought. Without Microsoft’s full marketing weight behind the product, … Continue reading
