pptPlex Updated For PowerPoint 2010. Now Supports Windows 7 Multi Touch
The office Labs team came out with a tool called pptPlex for PowerPoint 2007 sometime back.
The tool brought presentations to life. You were no more bound by a predefined sequence of slides. pptPlex let you create a canvas that you could zoom into and out of to show your slides. I did not use this a lot since it was buggy and resource consuming, not to mention that it wasn’t supported on PowerPoint 2010. The great thing is, they’ve updated it.
pptPlex also supports the multi-touch capabilities of Windows 7. If you have a touch enabled computer, you can make use of the following multi-touch features to control your presentations:
- Pinch to zoom
- Swipe to go to next/previous slide
- Tap to zoom
- Two-fingered tap to zoom out
pptPlex will appear as a tab on PowerPoint’s ribbon. Screnshot:
Here are some videos of what you could do with your presentations using pptPlex:

Death By PowerPoint? Meh!
Can’t wait for them to update SearchCommands and extend it across all Office apps (since every app is now ribbonized). Search Commands was the killer addon like Windows Start search.
Hi Manam, sorry for writing this comment on this post but I reach your blog searching for access codes to DreamSpark and I saw you used to have some coupons to giveaway so… I was wondering if you still have some or if you can get one for me.
My name is Sergio, I’m a 23 years old student from Argentina but the college I’m studying at does not have an agreement with Microsoft so I can’t get access to the software and the truth is that I don’t have the money to get Visual Studio neither SQL Server (I’m a developer).
Well I don’t want to bore you with my story, I hope you can help me.
Best regards.
