Among the new features:
Transitions: Create fading and "spicier" 3-D transition effects between slides.
Animations: Add animation for emphasis (or playfulness).
New themes: An array of color schemes and formats have been added to the theme library.
Drawings: For building designs, layouts and flowcharts in a presentation.
Rich tables: Now with merged cells and further options for formatting data.
The new edition of Presentations is gradually being rolled out to users. If you'd like to get it now, navigate over to Google Docs, select "Document settings" from the upper right-hand corner and check the box that says "Create new presentations using the latest version of the presentation editor" under the "Editing" tab. Make sure your browser is up to date.
