It is by Bradley, Helen, and it is from PC magazine.

This Artilce is about how the new PowerPoint 2007 softwere has s many new features, but it is basically saying that the power point presentaion is still boring unless you have pictures backgrounds and animations. It tells us what to use to animate things like oure background, we just have to use the Picuture mangaing application. To make the background animated you first make the picture the same hight as the computer monitor and make it a little wider than your screen. Then you save you save the file as JPEG, and you should make the quality of the picture high or medium so the size of the file wont be as big.

Most of the article tells you how to insert pictures, add animations, adding movement and add zooming effects to make you feel there is movement to finish the slide. After doing these things you preview the slide, and check if the animation fits what you wanted. After you finished the background you add it back to your slide and add the text and infromation that you want. If you want the text to be seen clearly add the text shadow effect.

This article doesn't include to much infromation about PowerPoint presentaion but this this one of the few presentations that I found on EBSCO. I basically tells us how to edit animate backgrounds and the 4 steps you have to follow. 1 Add the photo and make it the size of your screen. 2. Add animations to the Photo , 3. adding the zooming effects to make you feel there is movements, and finally 4. add the text.
