How to create an attractive product brochure in minutes, especially as a non-technical designer? Everybody can do it, if he or she can use Microsoft PowerPoint. Microsoft PowerPoint is used as an effective and popular tool to create product presentation materials. You do not need to learn a new tool like Macromedia Flash and climb a high learning curve. Just reuse the skills which you have already had with PowerPoint.

However, have you encountered the following problems when you are using PowerPoint to create product brochures?

1. Have you ever been faced with the problems of lost audio or stuck video when playing your presentations? PowerPoint has two ways to deal with media objects, one to link, and another to embed. When the media object (e.g. audio or video file) is linked, you may have the audio or video lost if you move the file or copy the presentation to another machine.

2. As a presenter, did you feel embarrassed when the presentation file cannot be opened or many of the elements in your presentation are on the wrong place and out of control? Usually a PowerPoint can be shown differently with the different PowerPoint versions. So it is rather difficult for presenters to control the effects which will be played on the end users' computers.

3. Inserting a flash file to PowerPoint needs so many steps and you are forced to give up this idea sometimes.

4. If you want to put our product presentation online, you are afraid others modify it without your permission.

5. PowerPoint file is too big for transmission and your customers may not play it with all the texts, animations, buttons, links and pictures correctly.

It's very easy to solve these problems with some third-party tools which enhance the function of Microsoft PowerPoint and extends its usages. Some of them can convert the PowerPoint file to flash file with the original animation even with many enhancements. As you know that, flash is a web-friendly media format and is used widely to deliver information online and to create website content.

Now there are many third-party tools not only help you to convert the PowerPoint file to flash, and also help you to embed all multimedia content into the generated flash presentation.
