Hey,
Power. Earlier you mentioned you had a Wizard friend. Is
he going to pull a rabbit out of a hat for us? |  |
|
Not exactly. The
AutoContent Wizard walks you through the presentation,
offering suggestions on visual design, as well as tips on
how to organize data. He's great if you're a beginner or
in a hurry.
|
|
 |
He's sort of like an
AutoContent consultant or guru. |
|
Absolutely. Though, we
thought "Wizard" sounded better. Especially
because some of his results can be pretty magical.
|

What is the AutoContent
Wizard?
The AutoContent Wizard is a good option for creating a
presentation if you are a beginner. The AutoContent Wizard
offers suggestions for templates to use and types of
content to put in. This option is also good if you are in
hurry and want to create a presentation quickly. |
|
|
So how do you use the magic
of the AutoContent Wizard? Do you have to say some magic
words like "Alakazam"? Or is it something much
easier like answering questions in a dialogue box? |
|
Jim, you're right on the
second try. Although the Alakazam idea isn't bad. I'll
talk to my creators about it.

View.
