How to Play PowerPoint on Sony Xperia Z Smartphone

How to view PowerPoint on Xperia Z?

Good to be back! Just return from a 10-day vacation and continue to write something useful for everyone.

Today we'll focus on Sony's Xperia Z, a new smartphone which was introduced at CES 2013 last month. This gadget comes up with a 5-inch 1080p screen, a quad-core S4 Pro processor and a 13 MP rear camera. Besides, it brought more surprises to audience: 

• Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2, a technology to make video content more bright and colorful.
• Battery STAMINA Mode. When this mode is turned on, standby time can be extended up to 3 times longer than normal mode.
• Dust and water resistance. The Xperia Z can survive in clean water for up to 30 minutes without any problems.

The Sony Xperia Z will hit European stores first on Feb 21. Thought the release day in the US is still unknown, we could image that the device is an edge tool for watching HD movies and playing HD games. Then how about playing PowerPoint on Sony Xperia Z? Android users may choose some Office apps from Google Play, such as Documents To Go, Kingsoft Office and so on. These apps can help users view PPT files on their Android devices. However, most of them may lead to the losses of animated effects. There are some leaked rumors on Microsoft Office for Android, but we may still have to wait for a long time before it's available.

Here I'll show you another way to watch PPT on Xperia Z. Since it's wonderful for playing HD videos on the phone, why not convert the PowerPoint presentations to video format and put them on it? To do the trick we need a tool --- the free download PowerPoint to Xperia Z video converter.

The conversion process is shown below:

Step 1 Download, install and launch PPT to Xperia Z video converter.

Step 2 Click "Add" button to import PowerPoint files to the converter. Batch importing is also supported.

Import PowerPoint files

Step 3 Click "Profile" drop-down menu and choose a suitable output video format. Since the Xperia Z can play HD videos, here we select "HD H.264 MPEG-4 AVC Video (*.mp4)".

Output video format setting

Step 4 To make sure the exported video can be played perfectly on Xperia Z, click "Settings" button and enter "Profile" panel. The phone's resolution is 1920 * 1080 pixels, we set the video size as “1920  * 1080” and audio codec as “AAC“.

Advanced setting

Step 5 Click the big and black "Start" button to start conversion. Depends on file size and video format, it usually takes a couple of minutes to convert a PowerPoint file to video. When the conversion is finished, just connect the Xperia Z to computer with USB cable and transfer the video. Enjoy watching PowerPoint on Sony Xperia Z!

First Touchscreen Smartphones from RIM, the BlackBerry Z10 & Q10

BlackBerry Z10 & BalckBerry Q10

Research In Motion, as known as RIM, has officially introduced its new BlackBerry 10 OS along with 2 new smartphones at the event on January 30, just like the previous invitation. The company also changed its corporate branding from RIM to BlackBerry at the same time. As to the 2 new handsets, named Z10 and Q10 respectively, both equipped with a touchscreen.

Highlights of the new OS
Despite the lack of big surprises from both smartphones, there are some highlights brought to BB fans by the BlackBerry 10 OS.

BlackBerry Peek and BlackBerry Hub. BlackBerry 10 supports multitask by sliding to open or minimize an app. With the help of BlackBerry Peek, user can view series of information on BlackBerry Hub by sliding from the left edge of screen to the right. As to the BlackBerry Hub, it's an integrated interface with messaging, social content, etc.

BlackBerry Hub

BlackBerry Balance. A function allows user to switch modes between Life and Work with a simply gesture. Wallpapers, apps and even content from app store could be customized in the 2 modes.

BlackBerry Balance

BlackBerry Messenger. The BBM is similar to apple's FaceTime and Google's GTalk. It's a function which supports live video chat, as well as projects screen to receiver remotely to show apps, pics, etc.

BBM

BlackBerry Remember. A place to keep on top of all user's files, tasks and notes. It is integrated right into the BlackBerry Hub. User can flag messages, assign due dates, take voice notes, add attachments and pull in contacts. It also integrates with Evernote account to bring all notes into one simple BlackBerry Remember app.

BlackBerry Remember

Apps. The BlackBerry company also announced there are currently more than 70,000 apps available for BlackBerry 10. This should be the most ever for a new device, compared with iOS, Android and WP8 gadgets. (But I still wonder if there are some suitable apps to watch PowerPoint on BlackBerry Z10 & Q10, other than using built-in Documents To Go app)

Conclusion

The company has made up its mind to catch up with iPhone and Android phones in the market. As HLNtv said, BlackBerry is like dinosaurs, there was a time when they ruled the earth. Now they’re just hoping to avoid the same fate. Take a look at the global smartphone market share in 2012, iOS and Android still lead. Besides BB diehards, I can't find a reason for other people to change their iPhone/Android phone to a BlackBerry.

How to Convert Word to PowerPoint in Office 2010?

How can I convert Word doc to PowerPoint presentation?

Trivial question: When you have finished an essay/proposal on Word 2010, but your professor/boss wants you to make a PowerPoint presentation based on the doc. In this situation, would you mind coping title/subtitles one by one from the doc and then pasting them on PowerPoint slides? No, never. That's a waist of time. With the help of build-in formatting feature from Office 2010, we can simply save Word as PowerPoint.

Step 1: Open the Word document on Word 2010.

Step 2: Now set the Styles of Headlines. Click the little box below Change Styles to show the Styles window. Headline 1 should be chose as Title, Headline 2, 3 and 4 can be chose as Heading 2, 3 and 4 respectively (depends on what kinds of Styles you need). Click File and Save after Style setting.

Step 3: Launch PowerPoint 2010. Click File and Open to import the previous Word document. Now you can see the Headline 1 becomes the title of every slide, other Headlines become bullet points.
