ClarisImpact 2.0 is now available for Windows and Windows 95 as well as the Macintosh and the Power Macintosh. You can easily exchange files between platforms, because no file-format translation is needed.
B. Automated data transfer with DataDraw
You can automatically convert information from FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Excel, or any application that exports data to a text file into a number of supported ClarisImpact business graphics. DataDraw turns names, dates, and numbers into organization charts, timelines, tables, data charts, or calendars. Try it out with the templates provided in the DataDraw folder.
C. Enhanced styles
ClarisImpact styles have been professionally redesigned to reflect today's business standards. These pre-designed combinations of fonts and color schemes help you quickly communicate your data in an attractive graphic format.
D. Improved presentation builder
Organize your thoughts before they appear on your slides with the integrated ClarisImpact outliner. Use the slide sorter to view and rearrange your entire presentation at a glance. Include speaker notes that help you give your presentation. Add pizzazz to on-screen presentations with over 50 new slide transitions and slide markup.

Redesigned flowcharts now include an indicator showing connector text placement and autogrow/autoshrink symbols. Create flowcharts faster and easier with these new connectors.

ClarisImpact timelines work well for planning simple projects and tracking milestones. Grid lines automatically adjust to match your project dates, tasks can be linked to and unlinked from each another, and any task can be designated as a milestone.

We've added 32 new data chart types, simplified the terminology and interface for creating them, and included more ways to customize charts.
K. Enhanced calendars
Produce business or personal calendars that display week numbers as well as weekday-only calendars. New calendar art makes it easier to highlight holidays and other common events.
