MICROGRAFX CHARISMA 4.0 FOR WINDOWS

The wait is over. Finally, Micrografx has upgraded Charisma. The previous version was 
lagging behind; however, this new version leaps out to take a well-deserved place in 
the front of the pack with the latest versions of PowerPoint and Harvard Graphics.

Designed for the high-end professional presenter and corporate user, this program 
provides 3-D charting with full rotation and light source adjustment capabilities. In 
other words, you can turn your 3-D chart in any direction and control the way 
simulated light shines on the various 3-D planes. There is also a feature called 
Visual Galleries that allows you to choose a chart style you like and then fill in 
your own data. This makes the somtimes-complicated task of choosing the right chart 
for the data much easier.

Charisma's multimedia support is quite extensive. Rather than depending on Windows' 
OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) for importing clip media, the program has built-in 
multimedia support. You can loop, clip, and adjust sound levels right in the program. 
For example, you can adjust the length and volume for any MIDI, WAV or AVI file from 
inside Charisma, without having to use another utility.

The program ships with several professionally designed templates, called Master 
Styles, that make creating effective presentating a snap. Simply open the template, 
type in your text, add your graphics and clip media, and let the presentation rip. 
You don't have to worry about color schemes, font collaboration, and all those other 
design elements we nonartists know nothing about.

Expanded transition effects, automatic build options, and other enhancements make 
onscreen presentations much easier than in previous versions of Charisma. Charisma 
4.0 (like many recent Micrografx upgrades) has a beautiful, friendly interface that's 
easy and a joy to use. The program's power is reached through simple icons and well-
designed menus.

Best of all, technical support is free and available 24 hours a day, Monday through 
Friday. The technicals are enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
