We have counted the number of new users until Christmas Eve 15:00 CET and we are happy to see that we have quite a few new users (even though we had hoped for more). We have decided to round things up a bit and make it a nice Christmas gift of 5000 SEK for Save the Children, specifically for Food and Medicine for those in need.
The tool will continue to be free also after New Years so don’t be to hard on yourself if you missed the Christmas Eve date.
Merry Christmas from Heron Consulting!
Christmas is almost here!
A time for giving and sharing. On that note we have decided to continue to share our PowerPoint productivity tool with anyone that wants it without any cost. This tool is a great time saver for anyone that works with PowerPoint, and it also makes it easier to make high quality presentations. It personally saves me several hours every week.
The great thing with a digital product is that it can be shared without much cost. But since this is the time for giving and sharing, we want to do a bit more – so for every download of our tool until Christmas Eve (15:00 CET) we will make a donation to Save the Children, and of course announce the total amount.
So please give us some Christmas wish comments and likes and share with anyone you think could benefit from some PowerPoint muscles! The more the merrier the Christmas gift to Save the Children will be!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Heron Consulting!
The new version that is now available to download from our website has a few new features:
- Align elbow connectors (so they bend at the same place even if boxes are spread randomly)
