| Cool Add-Ins - Raptivity Presenter |
|---|
Introduction: Putting interactivity into your presentation provides better communications and understandings between the users and you. PowerPoint uses Triggers to facilitate interactions. The use of Triggers, however, requires a significant amount of learning curve. With Raptivity Presenter by Harbinger Knowledge Products, the learning curve is stripped off and replaced by a "what you see is what you get" interface.
