This is the place to look for any information about this file, such as the author, and options for saving, printing, and viewing detailed option settings. That old saying "What's old is new again" comes to mind.

Microsoft Office users were used to the File option on the old menu, and the new ribbon was different enough. So, the return of the File tab on the ribbon will be comforting to many users, especially those who didn't jump on the Office 2007 bandwagon.

Animation Painter Is New to PowerPoint 2010
The Animation Painter is one of those "Now why didn't we think of this before?" kind of tools. Microsoft has created a tool that works similarly to the Format Painter. The Animation Painter will copy all the animation features of an object to another object, another slide, multiple slides, or to another presentation.

This feature is a real time-saver as you do not have to add all these animation properties separately to each object. The added bonus is many fewer mouse clicks.

Minimize the PowerPoint 2010 Ribbon
This is a small feature, but many users of PowerPoint find that they like to see more of the presentation on the screen and they want to reclaim some of that valuable real estate. In PowerPoint 2007, you could hide the ribbon, so the feature has always been there. With this version, Microsoft has just introduced a tiny button to do it with fewer clicks of the mouse.

Add a Video to Your PowerPoint 2010 Presentation
PowerPoint 2010 now offers the option to embed or link to a video (which is currently located on your computer) into your presentation or to link to a video on a website, such as YouTube. Embedding a video located on your computer saves a lot of anguish if you later move or send your presentation to another location. Embedding the video means that it always stays with the presentation, so you don't have to remember to also send the video file along.
