New User Interface - The Ribbon in PowerPoint 2007

By , About.com Guide

PowerPoint 2007 has a new look, thanks to the new user interface. The most obvious feature is the new Ribbon, replacing the toolbars and menus of old. Contextual tabs and menus have also been improved. When you click on an item, you see only options that pertain to that item.
