Our instruction from Touchpaper was clear: the presentation had to be built in PowerPoint 2007. This makes sense; Touchpaper has a large number of presenters, all of whom need complete access to every part of the presentation. In a case like this, Microsoft has done a great job of delivering the best tool for the job.

That so-called PowerPoint® "look" is a myth.
There's absolutely no reason why a PowerPoint presentation can't look professional and different. It's a tool that's constantly blamed by workmen who fail to understand that the fault, dear Brutus, is not in Microsoft but in ourselves, that we are not very good at presentations (with apologies both to the Bard and to Cassius).
We built Touchpaper's presentation entirely within PowerPoint 2007, but it looks just as smooth and professional as one that's received a Spielberg production budget. It shows what can be done if you really understand the tools in the box.
