Microsoft Office 2010 32 Bit Quick Try This 3D, T

We break from our Winter break with a guest post from Chris Becker. Chris is one of our team's developers who wanted to share some observations on using 3D in PowerPoint 2007. The result is a quick set of steps you can walk through and explore the power of the new text and graphics engines. -RBHi, I’m Chris from CoolBeans fame! 3D is one of the great new features of PowerPoint 2007, so I wanted to highlight what some of the new features are and how they can be used.For starters, how do you get a 3D shape? All shapes are 2D until you add a bevel or rotation onto them. Let’s start with a simple shape:A great way to start with 3D is to use one of the presets. This is the first item under the Shape Effects button:Choosing any of these items will add a bevel and/or a 3D rotation. I chose Preset 10, and I now have a very nice looking 3D shape:Using the Bevel and 3D Rotation ################## under Shape Effects,Office Professional 2010 Keygen, I can customize the look and angle of the shape. You can also change the fill color just like you would on a 2D shape (I’ve darkened it here slightly to show off the bevel better):Finally,Microsoft Office 2010 32 Bit, you can add text just like you can with a 2D shape by selecting the shape and typing onto it. The text is rotated in scene with the shape:Of course, text can have bevels as well, just look under Text Effects. Here I’ve chosen one of the 3D WordArt styles:And now we have a professional looking,Office 2010 Professional 64 Bit, 3D graphic created entirely within PowerPoint! Why is this better than rigging it up in another application and pasting it in as a picture? Obviously it is easily editable within PowerPoint with no application switching, but also when resized this shape will re-render at the correct size (no blocky bitmap artifacts), it responds to themes and can be copy and pasted natively between PowerPoint,Office 2010 Pro Plus 64 Bit, Word, Excel and Outlook,Office Professional 2010 32 Bit!Thanks Chris! <div
