Perspector 4.0

New to Perspector 4.0 are fully featured 3D lists.

With these lists, you can add new list items simply by pressing Enter as you type the list. While you type, you can also move up and down the list with the cursor keys.

Automatically convert existing PowerPoint bullet lists using your choice of list image. Or you can create new 3D lists.

There are over 50 new or improved list images. Here is a small selection of them:

Perspector 4.0 now uses the presentation color scheme to give your images colors that match the rest of your presentation. This is a real time-saver compared with earlier versions of Perspector.

With the Professional Edition, you can now add your own images to the Library so that they can save their work and use them again.

Perspector 4.0 is also the most robust version of Perspector so far, making the whole experience of using Perspector more positive.

Owners of Perspector 1, 2 & 3 can upgrade to Perspector 4 for a reduced price.

Just wanted to tell you guys that this is a fantastic product and frankly the best one I have ever purchased as an add-on for PowerPoint. I have tried them all and for constantly outstanding presentations that get the "WOW" factor and still hit the point home, nothing beats this solution.
