We begin with a feature from Echo Swinford, who explores a simple way to create better-looking tables with some love. We then feature Anna Guerrero of Canva, who talks about the Pixabay and Pexels acquisitions. Kevin Lerner brings the second part of his Presentation Procrastinators series, and says, “As terrific as this managed presentation polyana sounds, the reality is that there will inevitably be last minute edits.” We have a series of interviews with presenters from the upcoming Presentation Summit conference. This week, we feature Rick Altman, Matthew Pierce, John Rahmlow, and Nolan Haims.

The terms Header and Footer typically come from word processing programs. These denote repeated elements that show at the top and bottom of every page. Headers and Footers work similarly on PowerPoint slides: the Footer is a line of text that usually appears at the bottom of a slide. By default, the footer with one or more of these three placeholders appears on every slide in a presentation, but you can change that as required. You can also move the content within the Footer area to the top of your slide. By doing so, you change a Footer to a Header!
