Lines: 12 I use Power Point extensively and love it. It's great to be able to clip pix from Excel, text from WFW, etc, and manipulate (resize, etc.) them in PP, and the 3 views are very convenient. One warning: it ships with a coupon for a "free" (=$4.50) PC <-> Mac translator, but what you get is a 3.5" mac floppy. It seems the translator lives on a Mac, and must therefore accompany any briefings you send to mac.colleagues, or you must take the initiative in giving it to them. I have not tried shipping a .ppt file over the net to a Mac yet. Can anyone tell me if this works? (I know that Excel spreadsheets can make the jump if saved as SLK files). Can anyone recommend a Win3 graphics prog. that does 3-d graphs from Excel s'sheets?
