http://tools.slideexecutive.com/xpoint/setup.exe NOTE: In this step the install wizard may ask you to upgrade your windows components to .NET Framework 4. This is a prerequisite that is needed for the add-in to work.
- After the installation is done you may need to restart PowerPoint to make the Slide Executive-tab appear in PowerPoint 2007/2010.
- Once installed look for the "Slide Executive" tab and click on it.
- The first run of the add in:
- If this is the first time you run the Slide Executive add-in you will see a "Get me started"-button in the "Desktop" section. Click "Get me started" to start the wizard and follow the instructions. This will allow you to browse and search your Slide Executive slide library.
- If you upgraded from a previous version of the add-in you should be set to go right away. Be sure to use the left "Desktop" section of the ribbon for browsing and searching your local library. The "Professional /On Demand" section in the middle is a separate product to search a central online library for slides and other media. If your company has an On Demand account, with an online slide library, the middle section could be used too.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden – February 17, 2011 – Software producer Novatrox AB releases a new PowerPoint add-in ribbon, Slide Executive xPoint, that searches and inserts slides and images from your computer, company cloud and the web into your PowerPoint presentation.
Slide Executive xPoint will save lots of time for any organization or individual with many PowerPoint presentations. It installs as a ribbon in PowerPoint and provides access to a local and/or a central slide library in the cloud. For single users xPoint provides desktop slide search and slide managing tools. Company users can easily search and browse their company slides/presentations increasing the use of pre-approved slides to bring consistency to the company presentations. Furthermore, xPoint includes free search and insert of slides and images from the Internet.
Slide Executive xPoint is a junction of tools, a cross point. It combines desktop slide/media search and management for the single user, with the power of the Slide Executive On Demand slide and media library solution for companies. In addition to the mentioned features, xPoint enables web image search and web slide search through SlideFinder. xPoint thus gives the user complete control and the ability to search existing content from a range of different sources when building new presentation, hence avoiding re-inventing the wheel.
Christer Ogenstad, the Chairman of Novatrox AB, shares his vision of this latest innovation: "Slide Executive xPoint brings information management to PowerPoint. From now on no one should have to waste time redoing any work. Whether you know you have a good slide on your computer, want to find one somewhere in your company cloud or even on the Internet, you'll find it in the blink of an eye. Before you know it, you'll have added it to the presentation you are building."
Slide Executive xPoint is very light and can be quickly downloaded and installed by following the instructions here:
