Use this automatic design tool to produce dazzling presentations

What would you say if I told you that the next time you create a PowerPoint presentation, you have to enter only the content of your subject matter -- text or bullets -- and the VisualBee PowerPoint Add-in will do the rest? It's true!

You know what PowerPoint add-ins are, right? They're bits of compiled code that allow you to add more functionality to PowerPoint. You can use add-ins to create or run a PowerPoint presentation. You can obtain add-ins for PowerPoint on the Web.

The VisualBee add-in is a great tool if you don't have the time, desire, or skill set to design an attractive presentation on your own. After you add your content, VisualBee goes to work to automatically match appropriate images and incorporate graphics and design. You always have the option to finalize it to meet your personal preferences.

In a nutshell, here's how it works:

1. Install the VisualBee add-in (available in two versions, Free and Premium).
2. VisualBee appears as a customized tab on the PowerPoint ribbon.
3. Populate your presentation as usual. Focus on the content and don't worry about the design.
4. Click the Enhance Presentation button.
5. In the gallery, select the style that is most appropriate for your presentation.
6. When you place your mouse cursor over the designs in the gallery, you can see a preview of how your slides appear with that design applied.
7. Select the design you like best.
8. After VisualBee applies the design to your presentation, you can redesign the slides to meet your personal preferences or leave them as is.

Give it a try. If you need help, we've got information for you about how to add or load a PowerPoint add-in.
