This page contains some useful programs I have written.

• PPspliT is a PowerPoint add-in that splits animation effects into different slides.
  Its most practical application is when you want to produce a PDF file of a presentation where several different shapes are drawn overlapped (because they are supposed to appear at different times). PPspliT does for you the job of producing a separate slide for each entry/exit/emphasis effect you would apply when the presentation is being actually played.
  PPspliT operates with native PowerPoint shapes, therefore the slides produced after the split are not simply snapshots of the running slideshow: they are derived directly from the original presentation.
  
  If you still cannot get what I am saying, you may want to look at the following screenshots:
  • A complex slide and the same slide after using PPspliT to spread animation effects on different slides
  • Another even more complex slide and the same slide after processing with PPspliT
  • PPspliT toolbar in Office 2007
  • PPspliT toolbar in Office 2003
  • The PPspliT progress dialog
  
  The features and limits of the add-in are documented in a preamble in the source code. Development along time can be tracked by looking at the changelog. A complete source package is also available, in case you want to rebuild the add-in.
  There are also usage instructions available.
  
  Download PPspliT 1.5 installer (~740KB, released in Jan 2012, includes uninstaller, zip password is: "ppsplit")
  Compatibility: PowerPoint for Windows, versions XP (2002), 2003, 2007, 2010 (both 32 and 64 bit).
  All of the add-in features are implemented for all PowerPoint versions, but minor glitches may exist with versions prior to 2007, sometimes due to VBA bugs.
