The only flaw, if you would call it that, is its linear approach. Each slide has an exact position in the presentation which makes it problematic, but not impossible, to present different aspects of the topic.

Microsoft pptPlex is a plugin for Microsoft Powerpoint coming right out of the Microsoft Office Labs. What it does is that it provides an alternative way of presenting slides by offering a tour through a zoomable canvas instead of the default linear approach

Microsoft pptPlex currently works with Powerpoint 2007 running on Windows XP or Windows Vista. The official website contains several tutorial videos that explain the basic concepts of the Powerpoint plugin and are recommended to watch before installing the plugin.

Installation is pretty straightforward. Just download and install pptPlex, open a new presentation in PowerPoint and click on the pptPlex tab at the top to display all pptPlex buttons. A click on the Insert new Section button adds a new section while Canvas Background allows for background selection. Using pptPlex is not overly complicated.
