We were recently working on a project for a customer, and they sent in a Photoshop design of what they wanted to see on the information screens. That’s typical, most users send in a PowerPoint presentation already, while designers send in a Photoshop file and you have to start all over in PowerPoint.
We were displaying the newly created PowerPoint on a television screen here, as a test. And with this presentation, we saw completely different results between our design computer and the test television.

In PowerPoint 365 for Windows, all information that you need about your currently active presentation is available in a single easily accessible location. This location is the Info tab of Backstage View. Using the options available within this tab, you can access information about permissions set for the active presentation, prepare your content for sharing, and also possibly recover older versions of unsaved files. In addition, the Info tab also provides access to many more properties that we will discuss on this page.

Slides can be a great way to make a business presentation come alive – if they are designed well and then used properly. But, as many of us have experienced, presenters will often throw their slides together without much thought for the audience and then deliver their presentation in a way that is likely to put an audience to sleep!

We first look at creating simple quizzes in PowerPoint, and this technique should work for any version of PowerPoint. We then interview Kurt Dupont of PresentationPoint, who talks about updates to his DataPoint, iPoint, and SignageTube products. The first two are PowerPoint add-ins and SignageTube is a digital signage SaaS solution. We also bring you a post by Sandra Schrift who explains what your body language says about you.
For PowerPoint 365 for Windows users, we look at creating SmartArt with icons using PowerPoint Designer. PowerPoint 365 for Mac users can learn about options within the New tab of Backstage View. We also look at the Open and Close tabs of Backstage View in both PowerPoint 365 for Mac and Windows. Also, make sure you do not miss the quotes, press releases, and templates featured in the last week.
