Question: Why does ActivePresentation Designer use Microsoft technology instead of any other publishing platform or software?
Answer: The answer is simple. Because the majority of sales & marketing organisations utilise Microsoft Office systems, we believe this audience is best served with content that is widely compatible with the investment already made by IT departments. By using an ActivePresentation, you are not locked to any single supplier for creative, sales lead generating content as you can change the content whenever you want.

Answer: Because ActivePresentation Designer is fully integrated in to Microsoft PowerPoint, it supports/creats files in the formats supported by PowerPoint such as .ppt and .pps for PowerPoint 2003 and .pptx, .ppts, .pptm for PowerPoint 2007 and later. For PowerPoint 2007 and later, when certain active features are enabled in ActivePresentation Designer, the file format needs to be changed from the default .pptx to a macro enabled file format such as .pptm.
