Well, if you’re using PowerPoint 2007 then maybe you don’t need as much time as you thought.
What if you had a template containing a variety of 3-D objects available?
While no template could ever contain everything everyone might want it could contain some things you’d find useful. Maybe one that contains things like this:

Oh wait! Would you consider it a bonus if that same template had some awesome animations and instructions with each one? (Of course, I used the old copy/paste to put all the shapes on the same slide for the picture above – so that works too!)
And… more importantly, you could then customize the graphics and animations to fit your needs.
So, where do you find such a little treasure trove of time-saving goodies?
Why at the Microsoft Help and How-to site… where else?
Let me “link you up” with the goods.
It has 27 slides with all kinds of things.
If you’ve ever admired someone else’s 3-D finesse then isn’t it worth a little time to take look? Who knows, you may find all manner of inspiration in those 27 slides.
