How easy is the PowerPlugs: Animator product to use?

PowerPlugs: Animator is a PowerPoint add-on that provides an easy way to apply complex animations to bulleted text in PowerPoint. It works much like PowerPoint's Animation Schemes, so you can apply effects to all the text on your slide with just a few clicks.Below are some screen captures of PowerPlugs: Animator's main dialog box and the PowerPoint menu it appears in

3. Can others view my PowerPlugs: Animator when I send my presentation to them?
Yes. Using PowerPlugs: Animator "Pack With Effects" tool, you can pack up your enhanced presentation and take it "on the road" or send it to someone else for viewing. It will play on any supported PC with all its Animator effects, even if PowerPlugs: Animator is not installed on the destination PC. In fact, the destination machine doesn't even require PowerPoint or the PowerPoint Viewer to be preinstalled since the PowerPoint Viewer will automatically be included with the packed Animator-enhanced PowerPoint presentation.
