Chapter 13. Adding Impact to PowerPoint Presentations

Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 has become the standard for digital presentations the world over. By the same token, Microsoft Office Visio 2007 diagrams have established themselves as perhaps the most engagingly efficient means to display data on the planet. It only makes sense that combining the two can create the perfect presentation. And, as with much else with Office Visio 2007, embedding a Visio 2007 diagram into an Office PowerPoint 2007 presentation is a snap. Furthermore, these embedded items can include charts, diagrams, and conceptual illustrations.

The other chapters in this book describe in detail how to create those images. This chapter provides tips for formatting Visio 2007 diagrams for display on the big screen and tells you how to get that shape or diagram into PowerPoint 2007 with minimum fuss.
