Calling All ActivePresentation Designer Users
Since we launched ActivePresentation Designer a few years ago, we’ve been listening to your requests. We’re getting close to launching a completely new version called ActivePrez and it’s been redesigned from the ground up. ActivePrez will focus solely on the Menu Bar feature which is what the majority of our customers use the most.
We’re now looking for folks interested in evaluating the beta version of the new product and are accepting requests to join the program at the end of this post.
What’s New in ActivePrez?
Simplified User Interface
Simplified single button in the Insert tab of PowerPoint
Extended Platform Support
With support for the latest versions of PowerPoint (including 64 bit Office) and Windows, it’s future proof.

- PowerPoint 2010 (32 & 64 bit)
- PowerPoint 2007

Coming Soon
We’re also going to be working on the following requested features:

Hi Michael. Thanks for the interest. Your request has been noted and we’ll be in touch within a few days.
I user PowerPoint 2013 to create educational slides for students at church and Internet Security Awareness courses for non-profit/community groups. I would love to Beta Test.
On 1st April 2014, ActivePrez was launched officially as a commercial product so the beta program has since been closed. Thank to everyone who participated in the program and helped improve ActivePrez.
