How to Add Text-to-Speech in PowerPoint. To make sure every single person in your audience understands what you present in the Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2010 presentation, you can use the text ...

Yes, it can. Using the Speak command, also known as the Text to Speech (TTS) feature, PowerPoint can read the text in your slideshows and in your notes out loud.

PowerPoint 2007 has WordArt tools that let you generate text not only in a half-circle, but in all sorts of rings, waves, slants and fades so you can morph your words into whatever shape you envision.

Please don't squeeze a ton of text into your slide; don't go special-effects crazy with flying text. It may enhance your PowerPoint but not your point.
