New Features in PowerPoint 2003

Some of PowerPoint 2003 s most powerful features are shared throughout Office ”the Instant Messaging capability, the Shared Workspace, Smart Tag capability (which is available in PowerPoint for the first time), and the Research task pane. Some new features are unique to PowerPoint, however:

• Packaging presentations Say goodbye to the Pack And Go Wizard and hello to the Package To CD command. Now you can prepare your presentation and burn it to a CD that can be run on another user s system, even if that user doesn t have PowerPoint.

• Slide show annotations New Ink support in PowerPoint 2003 enables presenters to add handwritten notes on slides as the presentation is going on, or save annotations to slides for later display.

• Improved navigation tools The Slide Navigator has been replaced with an easier-to-use toolbar for moving to different slides in your presentation.

• Larger movie display In PowerPoint 2003, you have the option of maximizing the movie so that it plays in full-screen view.
