Let’s arrange a meet up. How about inside PowerPoint?
Yep, it’s true. Microsoft wanted those who use PowerPoint to have on-hand access to world-class presentation training within their software (yay!) and asked us if we would mind sharing some of our tips in the next release of their presentation software, Microsoft PowerPoint 2010.

We have had to keep our excitement under wraps during the development of the project, but now that Microsoft has released the public beta of its Office 2010 suite, we can let you know about it!
Embedded within PowerPoint 2010 you will find Duarte’s Five Rules for Creating World-Changing Presentations, a fun, informative guide to help you create effective presentations. And that’s not all. They even let us take the software for a spin around the block while we were developing the piece so we got to use the new features of PowerPoint 2010 to make it. Very fun. Needless to say, we are eager to share the Five Rules with you.
So, how can you get it? First, you need to download the Microsoft Office 2010 Public Beta.
Next, open PowerPoint 2010 and navigate to the File button in the upper left-hand corner. Click on that button and select New. In the Available Templates and Themes window, click on Sample Templates. You should see a choice called Five Rules. That’s us! Either select it and click the Create button on the right or simply double click on the image. It will open up a PowerPoint template that contains our story. Launch it in slide show mode, sit back, and enjoy the show. Then, when you are done, feel free to use the template for your next presentation, or deconstruct our graphics and animations to see how we used the tools to achieve the results you see.

We will be deconstructing various segments from the animation and sharing that with you here on our blog, so check back here for some inside looks into the next version of PowerPoint. Until then, see you in PowerPoint!

This is huge news! There goes my job
Congratulations, this is a new Milestone for Duarte. Next step, Keynote? Regards, Enrico.
Congrats! That is fantastic. Very much looking forward to checking it out myself.
The setup doesn’t work on my computer
so I’ll have to wait a little more to enjoy it.
But really glad to hear such good news, congratulations for (once again
) your amazing job !
I did not find it in der 32 Bit German und English version. Where can I get it?
Reagrds,
Jochen
wow – I can’t believe you created that in PowerPoint. I’m really looking forward to trying out some of these new features
Wooo !! Nothing to say but a-ma-zing !
It must have been a great project to work on, and we can recognize some people from the team of Duarte don’t we ? It’s such a great idea !
Congratulations again !
What a pity, the template is not available in the German version of PowerPoint 2010 – and the download from the website you mentioned is not working
Hello Eric,
Thank you for the link work great. I downloaded it and it works!
Congratulations! That’s a great milestone for Duarte Design.
Congratulation! This is another much deserved milestone for you guys. Keep up the good work.
Is it as good as Keynote yet? =)
The spanish version of Office 2010 does not have Duarte’s Five Rules for Creating World-Changing Presentations. Where can I dowload it?
Thanks ahead

This presentation is awesome and summarize perfectly the main ideas of the book “slide:ology”.
I am just curious to see how much time was needed to establish such a presentation (just the powerpoint part, once the storyboard was defined) ?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
I would like to thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Your video is awesome and really helpful.
There is however something I still would like to understand : how can I import an image which has its own shadow? You did it perfectly with the Stop Panel. Is it a question of layers?
Thanks again
Sam, France
