This exclusive Indezine excerpt is from PowerPoint for Court, a book that has been the definitive manual for preparing and presenting digital material in a court of law since 2002. Used by universities, attorneys and government agencies throughout the world, PowerPoint for Court has now been updated in 2009 for use with the latest version of PowerPoint.
Here are couple of excerpts, reproduced here with permission from Herbert Rubinstein, author of the book.

Many PowerPoint users have a fascination with Flash but still prefer PowerPoint’s ease of use and logical workflows rather than dabbling with Flash that has a longer learning curve compared to PowerPoint’s almost zero learning curve. Yet these same users like to insert Flash files into their PowerPoints, and sometimes they look for a way to export Flash files they have inserted within the PowerPoint presentations. However, that’s not always easy since changes made by Microsoft to file formats from the PowerPoint 2003’s PPT to PowerPoint 2007’s PPTX have made everything uncertain. A new add-in for PowerPoint tries to overcome some of these issues — does it succeed?

An Indezine reader asked me if he could create three circles next to each other, and make sure that they looked like this: The first circle should be filled-in full (entirely), the second circle should be half full, and the third and last circle should have no fill (empty). The first and third circles are easy — all you need to do is ensure that the first circle has both an outline and a solid fill, and that the third circle has only an outline with no fill. The second circle though is an easy challenge that I’ll teach you create in this one page tutorial using PowerPoint 2003.

We already explored creating these three circles next to each other in PowerPoint 2003, and now we’ll do the same thing in a much easier way in PowerPoint 2007: The first circle should be filled-in full (entirely), the second circle should be half full, and the third and last circle should have no fill (empty). The first and third circles are easy — all you need to do is ensure that the first circle has both an outline and a solid fill, and that the third circle has only an outline with no fill. The second circle though is an easy challenge that I’ll teach you in this one page tutorial using PowerPoint 2007.

PowerPoint 2003 and previous versions don’t allow you to draw a semi-circle shape although that’s not an issue within PowerPoint 2007. In this tutorial, I’ll show you three ways in which you can add a semi-circle to your PowerPoint 2003 slide — whichever way you choose, make sure you save one semi-circle so that you can copy-paste and reuse it again whenever required.
