NXPowerLite 5 is the newest version of Neuxpower’s file optimizer product that we have reviewed in the past. Like in the past, NXPowerLite 5 reduces the size of PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, JPEG images, and PDF files (PDF is new for this version). All the optimized files retain their original format, with almost no loss of quality.

Many users like you share their PowerPoint files in their native PPTX (or older PPT) formats — yet not many realize that these files can be converted to EXE files with custom splash screens. I need to add here that many such EXE files still need PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Viewer to be installed on your system — and that holds true for the product I am reviewing today as well. VaySoft’s PPTX to EXE Converter creates EXE files that automatically check whether Microsoft PowerPoint 2007, 2010 or the PowerPoint Viewer 2010 is installed on your user’s computer.

You have already learned how to use three of the four line drawing tools in PowerPoint 2010: Line, Curve, and Freeform. In this tutorial, I show you how you can use the last of these line tools: the Scribble Line tool. Drawing with the Scribble line is almost the same as drawing with the Freeform line — but there is one difference. You don’t need to double click to create an end point for your line. Just like you draw with a pencil on a piece of paper, your line stops the minute you stop drawing it. Having said that, you still need to practice to make your scribble lines perfect. Let us get started and explore how the Scribble line option works.
