Slide Executive: Conversation with Liber Rodriguez-Florez
In this discussion, Liber discusses Novatrox's Slide Executive product. Geetesh: Tell us more about the improvements in Slide Executive Professional 2.3? Liber: We have improved and streamlined a numerous number of things that will increase usability and make working with Slide Executive even easier. I can't tell you everything we've done because I would go on for too long. But here are some top picks: Search improvements: A search form is now accessible from the toolbar so you can start a search for slides or files without needing to click any menu or button first. This is very handy not only for slides but also if you want to look for some file you know is far down in the folder structure. Just as before you can limit your search by searching just a part of your slide library from folder down to presentation level. Also the relevancy of the search is improved since Slide Executive takes account of more parameters when sorting the results. We also added some nice shortcut buttons for each slide in the slide search results, allowing you to immediately download a slide's master presentation or going to that slide's master presentation directly within Slide Executive. Animation Factory: The Indezine ReviewAnimationFactory.com is a huge resource of visual content that I have known for a very long time now. Founded in 1996, the site now comprises over 500,000 animations, video backgrounds, PowerPoint templates, backdrops, web graphics, sound clips, Flash source files, etc. They have a dedicated team of on-house artists who create this content. Their media elements can be use in any kind of presentation. Templates on Indezine
