Perspector Lists
By Tim Hards | August 13, 2008
At the weekend, we released a new tool: Perspector Lists. With it you can create new 3D lists in your PowerPoint presentations:
You can also apply Perspector list styles to existing bullet-point lists on PowerPoint slides to transform them. These are the list styles in Perspector Lists.
Perspector Lists is available for an attractive $29.90.
If you already have Perspector Standard Edition or Professional Edition, you will already have the features of Perspector Lists. We decided to make them available in a separate tool to give our users more choice of Perspector tools.

Copy and paste shape format
By Tim Hards | May 23, 2008
New in Perspector 4.1 is the ability to copy and paste shape formatting. This is a really useful feature so I wanted to write a little about it. It also works in PowerPoint, Word and Excel to copy text formatting.
If you have a shape with formatting properties (e.g. fill, line and font colors) that you want another shape to have, what are your options?
You could manually set each of the formats. This is slow and prone to errors.
Better is to use the Format Painter. With this you click the first shape, then the Format Painter button, and then click the second shape. This copies all of the formatting properties over. This is quick and easy to use, but there is now an even better option:
The new format clipboard is more powerful. Click the shape you want to copy the format from, and press Ctrl+Shift+C. Then at any time during the edit, press Ctrl+Shift+V to “paste” the format to the currently selected shapes. Because it is easy to select multiple shapes and transfer the format to them using this, it is more versatile than Format Painter.
For a step-by-step of these techniques, see this FAQ.
