2 small skills of PowerPoint 2010

With its powerful functions, excellent stability and brilliant easy-to-use functions, PowerPoint 2010 is widely recognized by a lot of people. Maybe you are considering that change Your PowerPoint to this version. But there are several functions that bothered us. For instance, many animations in PowerPoint 2003 have already been hidden in 2010 version. And the function of quickly making abstract slide has been cancelled, either. For this reason, this paper will provide solutions to these two problems.

How to use the hidden animations in PowerPoint 2010?

Many animations in PowerPoint 2003, including stretch, cascade, color typewriter, etc, haven’t been shown in the option of “add animation”. So, how to use these animations?

First, download the hidden library of PowerPoint 2010. Second, find the animation that you'd like to apply. Third, find the object that you'd like set animations and brush it with the animation brush. Remark: when you have already set other animations of this object just before, these animations will probably be automatically disappeared once you use the animation brush. Therefore, make use of the animation brush first and then add other animations.

How to create catalogue in PowerPoint2007/2010?

Possibly the developers of PPT didn’t think that PPT definitely will apply to circumstances including work report and consulting report. Therefore, they didn’t add the function of making catalogue automatically. Indeed, it has little meaning in speech PPT. But it is seriously needed in training PPT and documentation PPT which has a few pages. We usually ought to make catalogues for these kinds of PPT so as to read the content very easily and particularly when the PPT has been printed on papers.

In PowerPoint 2003, we could make an abstract slide to meet this demand. But unfortunately the generated abstract slide has no page number. Although it's not pretty much a catalogue, something is much better than nothing. However in PowerPoint 2007/2010, the abstract slide has been cancelled and we have to use a plug-in program.
