Denise Then: Holiday Cards with PowerPoint

Denise Then is a regular at PowerPoint Live each year, and we talked about snow. Why snow? That’s because Denise sees snow all around her in Canada, and that we rarely see snow. Snow does fall in parts of India, though not in the regions where most people live.

This year, Denise created a personal and straightforward holiday card using PowerPoint, and she emailed it. The card shows all the snow scenes that she can see all the time. Permission was requested to share it with everyone. Thanks, Denise!

Motion Path Animations in PowerPoint 2007, 2003, and 2002 for Windows

Motion Path animations determine the route (path) and the direction in which the animated slide object moves across or around the slide. For example, you can move the slide object up, down, right, or left, on a preset or created motion path. We took every single motion path animation available in PowerPoint including the preset and custom options, and created this sample online presentation that you can use as a reference to preview.
