Who is PPTools?

What's PPTools?

PPTools can mean PowerPoint Tools or PowerPoint PowerTools or PowerPoint Production Tools. Or whatever makes the most sense to you after you've tried them.

PPTools are authored by Steve Rindsberg. Steve is a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP and a long-time PowerPoint user.

He's published books and articles about PowerPoint and is a frequent contributor to Microsoft-sponsored PowerPoint forums, the PowerPoint SubReddit, and is a proud founding member of the Presentation Guild.

He loves PowerPoint for its ease of use and occasionally curses it for its limitations.
Then he writes add-ins to sidestep or overcome the limitations.

PPTools was originally the brainchild of a chance online meeting between Steve and Brian Reilly in 1997. Steve and Brian collaborated on PPTools and other add-in projects until Brian's untimely death in 2008.

All of us who knew him miss our PowerPoint leprechaun dearly.
