No more Death by PowerPoint: Free downloads by a savvy pro sharpen your presentations
In a rush? Jump straight to the example decks.
The PowerPoint team here had a great idea: Instead of relying on Help articles, why not use PowerPoint 2007 to explain and show off PowerPoint 2007?
So they hired Julie Terberg, a presentation design expert and PowerPoint MVP, to create 157 top-notch example slides grouped into several downloadable decks. Each slide includes step-by-step instructions for recreating its look and style. The free decks cover everything from static text effects and graphics to backgrounds. Download the example decks like any other template from Office Online. Whether you're in a hurry or have all the time in the world, these beauties will help convey your message with clarity and style.
To preview each deck, read its companion article. (Toward the end of each article you'll find links to the others.) Here's a favorite:

And last but not least, I'm glad to add that the wonderful photographs Julie used for her examples are courtesy of Microsoft's own Bill Staples and Colin Wilcox.
We're always looking for ways to help you succeed, so please tell us what you think of “The Terberg Project." If you have other suggestions or questions, send them too!
