Software Publishing's $395 Harvard Graphics 3.0 for Windows presentation package has been upgraded with E-mail and conferencing features, but can only be used on Windows platforms. New presentations are easy to create with the handy tools palette and Animation Player application. A variety of fontsand sound files are supported, which makes Harvard Graphics flexible in accommodating different presentation elements. The Outliner function is weaker than those found in competing products, especially in the area of file importing. Slide shows can be easily created and rearranged and useful Thumbnails of applied effects provide advance information on the final results.

PC Week Labs tested Harvard Graphics 3.0 for Windows on several PCs that are typical of the machines on which many users are creating presentations: a 33MHz 386DX-based Dell Computer Corp. 333D; a 33MHz 486DX-based Dell 333DE; and a 50MHz 486DX2-based Dell Latitude 450MC notebook. To test performance, we created a 10-slide presentation in Harvard Graphics consisting of a title slide, six bullet slides with some clip-art graphics, a pie-chart slide, a bar-chart slide, and an organizational-chart slide. Because we couldn't directly import our Harvard Graphics presentation into PowerPoint, we duplicated the test presentation from scratch in PowerPoint. We also tested the conferencing feature over a Novell Inc. NetWare 3.12 LAN via NetBIOS.
