Hello PowerPoint Team,
Please accept this trial to send a question to you.
What's about the 2007 version of PowerPoint Presenter?
Is there a ~ update / upgrade? New features?
Thank you - Jan

Comment to Jan Mortim

Suspect that you're referring to one of two things as "PowerPoint Presenter." I'll interpret the question both ways.

First would be whether we've done an update to Microsoft Producer, an add-in application for Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 that allows users "to capture and synchronize audio, video, slides, and images, then preview and publish a rich media presentation virtually anywhere for viewing in a Web browser." Unfortunately, the team that works on PowerPoint is not the same one that works on Producer, and we have no official news about a Producer upgrade.

Second would be the Presenter View in PowerPoint 2007, which has had some significant improvements over the last few versions. Specifically we added the adjustable pane sizes, more thumbnails for upcoming and previous slides, a zoom control for the notes page, and generally larger controls over-all. The new ribbon for Slideshow makes enabling and controlling the use of Presenter View much easier than before.

Hope that helps.
