Can you use MS Producer with MS PowerPoint 2007?

[Mindy]

I teach an Internet Tools class where we create MS Producer Presentations
using PPT slides, video and audio. Many of my students have upgraded the
2007 Office Suite. I would like to know if you can use/download MS Producer
as the add-on to MS PPT 2007 just as you can for 2003?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! --Mindy

No Mindy. Producer is not available for 2007 and, to the best of my
knowledge, there are no plans to make it available.

Do you know of another option that I can incorporate into future classes that
will provide similiar capablities to Producer? Thanks.

Articulate may be a good option (I think the version for PPT 2007 is close
to release) but that means $$.

I haven't seen anything free though.

Hi,

If you still have 2003 can you save as that version and use it there? You
will need to break apart things like SmartArt animations onto different
slides as they are not backwards compatible. And you will need to keep a
current 2007 version as you cannot reopen things in 2007 from 2003 and have
them work again. But an idea.
