Do not need Powerpoint to use this.
Digital Juice is great, it has so many options. No you do not need Powerpoint to use it. It has the files for both multimedia (Powerpoint, etc.) and print. You should be able to use it in any program that allows graphics. Its a great resource because it has so many options. If you go to Digital Juice's website and do a search for Digital Juice 2.0 you will find more about it on there (also the price is cheaper on their website).

Do you have to have powerpoint, to use this?

Please write back

Great software for powerpointpresentaions and web design.

More options than i will ever need.the variations on one background you can get truly amazes me.the video that comes with the software is good...But he states in the software "we will talk about that later"and he never does.I think a digital juicefor dummieswould help at least me to learnmore from this program and to utilize all that it has to offer.if you have time to play and have knowledge of powerpoint and web design it is an excellent tool.

High Quality!
I have used Digital Juice for PowerPoint at our church for backgrounds for many of the songs that we project on a large screen.We find this to be a very high resolution product with consistently good quality throughout. ... Read more

Save your money
I bought this (V8.2) because the company I work for does not use Outlook (or any other calendar/scheduling software)...I, at least, needed something for myself to maintain appts, etc.
How disappointing this software is. Besides having the "feel" of something incomplete, there are some serious problems...here is what I have discovered after one day of use.
- There is no way to have this program auto-start with Windows. You must manually launch this application.
- There is no place to enter a website in the "Contacts" area of businesses, clients, friends, etc.
- When you bring up an email address using the Planner software, there is a button ("E-Mail:") that supposedly launches your email application with the recipient already filled in and ready for you to compose. Well, unless you have Outlook (and if you do, then why do you need this?) no application will start...and there is no way to select your email program...Outlook is hard-coded in.
I verified all of these issues with Franklin-Covey.
So, save your money and buy something that's fully functional. ... Read more

Not a happy camper
I need to make LOTS of charts in graphs in the next several months.I am a total retard when it comes to MS Excel.I thought I'd pick up this one because it said EZ all over it.Well, low and behold, this program makes Excel look like paint by numbers.This program is VERY complicated and the help (as most help is) is USELESS..it tells you WHAT to do, but not HOW to do it. I needed a program that had wizards or at least retard instructions, but this one is NOT the one!Guess I'm screwed outta my money cuz I can't return it.So much for my first online software purchase, NEVER again!

Quality Add-on for Presentations
The tool is intuitive and complete. It is a great bargain for the price. It has worked as a nice compliment to the graphs and charts available in PowerPoint. ... Read more

A chart is worth 1000 words & this program is a bargain!
This has to be one of the most valuable graphics utilities I own - and one of the most amazing.It sits in my system tray waiting for me to invoke it, and when I do I'm greeted by an instant chart menu that pops up regardless of what application(s) I happen to be running.From there I select the chart type I need and make the chart.

There are eight categories of chart types provided with this program: Groups (accents, headings and categories), Relationships (org charts, orbit, triad, pyramid and puzzles), Processes (flow, fan-in and -out, flow-in and -out and cycle), Comparisons (pro & con, ratings, quadrant, and stock arrows and tables), Tables (simple, grid, rows, columns and totals), Charts (bar, column, pie, pyramid, line and area), Lists (bullets, checklist, paragraphs and quotes), and scheduling (agenda, time line, Gantt, and various calendar types).

Because I am a consultant who does a lot of writing and need to convey the most information with the least page count I use this program all of the time.My favorite tools are time lines and Gantt charts, which are intelligent enough to add dates and watch them auto adjust bars.Comparisons are another group that I frequently use.If you are familiar with the Boston Quadrant, then you will love the fact that you can produce one in mere minutes.Also, you can enter labels and select a different display type and the program automatically transforms to what you select.This is great for quickly examining the best way to display information.After you have your graphic laid out to your satisfaction you can add textures, select color themes and backgrounds with a mouse click and selection.A finishing touch is the ability to add callouts and other graphic elements to add flair to your graphic before saving it.Once you are done you save your masterpiece as a Gif file and insert it into your favorite application. I have inserted my graphics into Visio, Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint.I have also used them in web pages.

If you spend a lot of time writing and need a quick and easy way to show with pictures what may take the proverbial thousand words, then this is a "must-have" program.I don't know how I ever got along without it. ... Read more

Used the BizPlanBuilder 2004 version
I've just used the BizPlanBuilder 2004 version and it is the best business planning software out there. (I purchased the leaders and found this one to be the most flexible, usable and real.) I was also blown away by how much is included to help me implement my plan, as well as the extra info is available on their website! I even called a few times with some questions and they were always right there. (Even one time on a weekend!) After I watched th evideo, I was convinced that the JIAN people really know what they are doing and are solidly behind their products (looks like an entire suite!).

Beware - 2004 New Version Does Not Work
I purchased the newest version of BizPlanBuilder on 1-09-2004 and I have been unable to open the Word documents to edit. I've tried this software under Windows 98SE and Windows XP Home. I updated Microsoft Word to the SR-2 version as per the authors web site and the software still does not work. I was surprised to find a company which is supposed to know so much about business does not have a patch or update availabe on it's web site. You have to email the company and ask for the update (if available).
It could be an anti-virus software program is interfering with BizPlanBuilder. But again, how much can they know about business if they don't understand how many people have anti-virus programs running nowadays.
If I could make my purchase all over again, I would go with another program. I'd rather pay $99.00 for a program that works than $49.00 for one that does not.

Fast and easy
For me writing a business plan is like pulling teeth. But I need the investment capital for my business and my investors want a good plan. BizPlan made it all sooooo much easier. The financials alone are worth many times this price. A consultant wanted to charge me $3,500 for the plan and twice that for the financials. I've done it myself in a few days and more important, BizPlan helped the numbers make sense so I could talk intellegently to my investors. Awesome product...I'll be checking out your other tools in a few weeks.

Entrepreneurs hate to plan
Planning is that which many entrepreneurs like least to do as they feel it is confining and subjects them to the rigidity of a fixed projections. Unfortunately, it is the lack of disciplined planning which is responsible for the failure of many projects which might otherwise have succeeded. The Jian BizPlanBuilder is an excellent product and I have found it useful... ... Read more

Powerful yet easy
I've had experience with several graphing programs to prepare presentations and manuscripts for biology journals. Kaleidagraph is as powerful as any of the others, but much easier to use. It was born on the Mac and it shows in its user-friendliness. You can edit the properties of just about any element on the graph by double-clicking on it. Most of the menus and dialog boxes are very intuitive - you don't need to go searching through a maze of successive dialog boxes to find the feature you're looking for. There is a wide range of graph types and features available, and graphs are easily updated when data are modified. Formulas can be written within the data spreadsheets to perform functions on entered data. Preexisting graphs can be used as templates for new graphs, preserving font sizes, symbols, text boxes, etc. The export options (esp. Windows metafile) are very useful in incorporating the graphs in other documents. Perhaps most importantly, I haven't experienced any glitches (corrupted files, features not working properly) as I have with other well-known programs.

One of the best around
KaleidaGraph is the best graphing/analysis package available in its price range, and I have tried many. The program is very easy to learn and yet has very powerful capabilities - for instance I have used it to to full non-linear multiple independent-variable curve fitting. It also has macro capability so if you want to crunch your data (FFT's, derivs, integrals, anything you can program) before plotting it you can do so; and the macros are FAST. In addition, the user control of the graph appearance is remarkable, and output is easily of publication quality. Finally, I have called them with questions and suggestions for new features and they have been incredibly responsive and helpful- just try that with Excel! Overall top rated.

Easy Enough for Beginners, Powerful Enough for Scientists
I use Kaleidagraph with my general chemistry students, many of whom are beginners with weak math and science backgrounds.Very quickly they are able to excel with this data-handling and graphing software.The package is easy to use, fast, has intuitive spreadsheet calculation features, and prepares versatile graphs quickly.I use this software as a tool to train my students to understand data they collected and to relate the data to the physical significance of the experiments they perform.All of the physical sciences in our program now use it.

KaleidaGraph Software
I teach many different software programs of this type and this is one of the most rewarding to teach. It is well thought out, easily navigated, and a powerful tool. It has the ability to make just about any type of technical graph and allow the user to analyse the data with very robust modeling tools. A serious program for scientist and engineers. ... Read more

Outstanding
This product is such a help to writing a marketing plan.I have a small business and Marketing Plan Pro was a huge help to my marketing efforts.It made me plan out what markets I was trying to reach, how I was going to spend my dollars, and helped me come up with a marketing plan that really impressed everyone who's seen it.Not only was the plan impressive, but the product taught me many marketing lessons that are helping me achieve more sales today.

An excellent tool, step by step

It also gives you all the flexibility you need toadd or delete topics, expenses, sales rows, and in many other ways makesure that the resulting plan is your plan, with your words, and yourthinking.

It is a tool, with a lot of guidance, but it doesn't do theresearch for you, or write the text, or develop the strategy. What it doesdo is help you make sure you've covered all the basis, thought about whatshould be included, and laid it all out in a logical, organized fashion. ... Read more

This is an upgrade version. With Microsoft PowerPoint X for Mac, creating a sharp-looking slide show is a snap. Through the Multiple Masters feature, you can use more than one slide master and title master in a presentation. A slide master imported into PowerPoint X can be sustained and applied to any slide in a presentation, independently of other slides. PowerPoint X also features easy text editing so you can automatically resize text to fit into a placeholder so it doesn't "fall off" the slide.

PowerPoint X provides a new, simple way to collect and save all your multimedia files in one PowerPoint package. Now movies, sounds, and images for use in a presentation can be saved, stored in an individual folder, and transferred intact to other users' machines and electronic media such as CD-ROMs or a to network. Improvements have also been made to PowerPoint Movies, the feature that allows users to save their presentations as QuickTime movies.

Create graphics for presentations by setting a specific percentage of transparency to any drawing or shape available in Office Art. Also add rich animations and new exit animations to presentations. You can easily animate text and Office Art objects to both enter and exit a slide. This latest version is compatible with PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition, PowerPoint 2001 for Mac, and PowerPoint for Windows 97, 2000, and XP. ... Read more
