If you work with tons of PowerPoint slides from clients, reviews, and samples like I do, you may soon land yourself into a slide nightmare. Slide nightmare is a state of slides (and mind) where you know that you do have the particular slide you want, but can’t locate the presentation deck that contains that slide! It’s time to invest in a slide management program like Slide Executive. In the past, I have reviewed previous versions of this program — and this new review will focus on improvements and new features since the core program is relatively the same.

Concept Slides are ready-made slides that you can use to create opening and closing slides, or any other slide to illustrate a concept, relationship, or idea. Most of these are sets of ready-made shapes created in PowerPoint or imported from another source. All these concept designs are owned by Indezine.com.
This first-in-this-series sample comprises a six segment circle — you can change the individual segments as well as the thin do-nut shaped circle around the segments using fill techniques for PowerPoint 2007 for Windows and PowerPoint 2003 for Windows.
