Overview of New Features in PowerPoint 97

  | Feature  | Description

New  | Slide Finder  | Users can save time locating,
integrating, and collecting existing slides for a new
presentation from a corporate network. Slide Finder allows users
to preview slides from existing presentations and import only
those they want to use.

Improved  | Every type of output  | PowerPoint 97 provides users
with every output option: slides, black-and-white and color
overheads, black-and white and color handouts, speaker's notes,
and on-screen electronic presentations. In addition, PowerPoint
now supports virtual presentations over the Internet.

Improved  | Intranet/Internet Viewer  | Users can save
presentations directly to an http or ftp server, and freely
distribute PowerPoint Viewers on their servers to allow those
who don't have PowerPoint to view presentations. The improved
PowerPoint Viewer for Windows 95 supports password protection
for kiosks and hyperlinks to other slides and to URLs on the
World Wide Web.

New  | Home page template  | Users can quickly create
personalized Internet or intranet home pages in PowerPoint using
the AutoContent Wizard.

Improved  | Presentation conferencing  | Users can deliver
presentations to remote users over Windows NT Server-based
networks, corporate intranets, or the Internet.

New  | Save as PowerPoint Show  | Presentation files can be set
to start directly in slide show view when activated, skipping
slide view.

New  | Browse mode  | Users can add a simple user interface to
an electronic slide show before distributing it to others.
Browse mode makes electronic presentations easier to navigate
and control, particularly for inexperienced users.

New  | Save as Web Animation  | PowerPoint provides an easy way
to create and publish "live" animations and presentations for
more interesting and interactive Web pages.
