As mentioned previously the software takes some time to open after clicking the Desktop icon.

Once in I created a four slide presentation, changing background colours/textures. The text headers/footers and main are simple to insert and change text type/size/colour but the small sample of typefaces could make this boring.

Use of the provided images is easy but there appears to be a fault in the software as I was unable to Import any .jpg from any other source. The only filetype option in the Import window was .imp - I tried several times in different ways with no good result.

The Preview worked as advertised both singly and as a timed transition but seemed to take a long time to load.

When we went for this test we did not know it was for a slideshow programme until the download e-mail arrived, and it was aimed at people with no experience but I use two other slideshow programmes on a regular basis and I cannot help but compare.

This prog is easy to use,the interface is clean and uncluttered, but as mentioned by many the pictures do not appear in the slideshow.

The output I can see is basic and the programme lacks many options, you can add your own background image by clicking the camera icon below the file dropdown menu and then choosing a picture from the image library.

I have had two random crashes with no reasons/warnings shown. It takes an age to load from the desktop icon, the global settings does not work.

More to come as I continue to explore.

my experience is just a few powerpoint jobs.

would like to be able to drag images over, i have a quad cpu but the program is sluggish, the presentation layout appears drab.Other than these points made a small presentation which went ok, not used video yet.

further...

- when no document is open, the icons on the Text Palette are greyed out, as you'd expect... except for the Underline icon.

- looking at the Text Style drop-down menu, the highlighting colour should be Orange, rather than the almost invisible Grey as it is at the moment.

- Undo seems to take 2 clicks to achieve.

Someone else couldn't delete the first slide of a presentation, I had no trouble :)

WISH: a Style Palette would be good, so that one could Define a style and recreate that across a presentation (I know that you can Duplicate a slide...)

Who is this package aimed at? I should think a professional Presenter would need much more flexibility, and frankly, even schoolkids are nowadays quite comfortable with PowerPoint. But I realise that these musings not the object of this excercise, presumably the developeers have their own marketing experts.
