Comes with numerous design templates

Ashampoo Presentations 2008 comes with more than 40 attractive design templates: with a simple mouse click, a complete presentation changes from classic or elegant to fancy and colorful, and back.

Color schemes switch colors with the flick of a key

Color schemes are another feature that makes your work much easier. With a few mouse clicks, you can easily recolor a complete presentation – and Ashampoo Presentations 2008 takes care of matching the colors.

If you open a PowerPoint® file, all existing color schemes are preserved. The same goes for saving – something that not all competing products manage to achieve.

Put your presentation in motion: Animations and transitions

Ashampoo Presentations 2008 offers a wide range of objects that you can insert in your presentations: text frames, tables, pictures in a large variety of file formats, AutoShapes, freehand drawings, images from your scanner or digital camera, OLE objects, even sound files and movies.

You can animate each of these objects. If you want to put your presentation in motion, simply select one or more animation effects from the huge list of effects that Ashampoo Presentations 2008 provides – Ashampoo Presentations 2008 offers all the animations that you know from Microsoft® PowerPoint.

Furthermore, you can add transition effects that appear when going from one slide to the next. Ashampoo Presentations 2008 offers a wide range of effects here as well.

Sort, arrange, structure

Ashampoo Presentations 2008 lets you structure your presentations through its built-in outliner. It looks similar to the one in Ashampoo Office TextMaker, but is tightly linked to the slides: if you change text in the outliner, the corresponding slide is updated on-the-fly and vice-versa.
You can sort slides in the "mini sorter" as well as in the regular full-screen sorter. The mini sorter appears to the left of the current slide, the full-screen sorter occupies the whole application window.
