I would like to apply to be the Product Manager for PowerPoint as the current
product manager does not seem to be doing the job.
My company produces extensive presentations for use in court. Attorneys like
the "simplicity" of PowerPoint's slides, that is, the ability to insert,
delete and move their slides. This compels me, despite higher service fees
charged to my clients and therapy costs resulting from the sadism inherent in
the product, to use PowerPoint.
Inevitably attorneys want to insert a graphic, add a highlight, animate a
motion, insert a video deposition, etc. The quality and functionaly of the
tools provided in PowerPoint begin to degrade rapidly at this point.
If I were the PowerPoint Product Manager I would:
- provide USER DEFINABLE keyboard shortcuts for ANY AND ALL FUNCTIONS
- provide the ability to script ACTION sequences with keyboard shortcuts.(
Why must I click 17 times to make a simple insert graphics and position it? I
don't get paid by the click and frankly it causes carpal tunnel syndrome.)
- provide layer control
- provide the ability to lock and unlock a layer or element
- radically improve the ability to import and play video files such as
MPEG2, MPEG4 with start and stop controls. PowerPoint is so inconsistent in
this area as to be sadistic for a user on a deadline.
- provide ANTI-ALIASES fonts. C'mon, you can do it.
