I’ve been working for home because of the coronavirus lockdown, so I decided to update and revamp two tutorials. The new content has almost doubled the ideas! In the “Picture Copyrights” article, you can explore a story about what happened to someone who put in copied pictures on their PowerPoint slides. In “Is a Picture Really Worth a Thousand Words?”, you’ll find nine such scenarios, along with ideas that will help you make sure that your pictures are certainly worth a thousand words. We also feature Christian Lund, who talks about Templafy, an enterprise-grade productivity and governance platform for enterprise document, presentation, and email creation.
PowerPoint 2019 for Windows users can learn about the Save and Save As tabs of Backstage View. Also, make sure you do not miss the quotes, press releases, and templates featured in the last week.
Stay informed about updated tutorials and happenings related to PowerPoint and presenting.

In PowerPoint 365 for the Mac, there is no Info tab of Backstage view like you see in PowerPoint 365 for Windows. Yes, it would have been nice to have this Info tab where you can see and access multiple settings and properties for file options, protecting presentations, media options, inspecting presentations, and management—but most of these settings are available within PowerPoint 365 for Mac in various other locations. In this tutorial, we will help you discover these locations.
