Imagine that you have a long numbered list that forms the content within your PowerPoint slide. Now, it is not uncommon for slides to have numbered lists that comprise twenty lines, and that is singularly unfortunate because even if members of your audience have perfect eyesight, they won’t be able to read the teeny-weeny sized text!

If your presentation has many slides, it will be easy to identify the current slide in Slide Show view, as long as you have enabled slide numbers on your slides. In PowerPoint, you have to make these slide numbers visible since they don’t show by default.

Comments Off on Working With Slide Numbers in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac

Every presentation that you present is critical! One reason for this is because every time you present, you are standing with your name and reputation behind this presentation. Moreover, you may not be aware of the potential benefits or losses that this presentation could bring to you. In our case, we’ve created a presentation that managed to raise 82 million leva (40+ million euros) for the Gradus IPO. Well, if this is not critical…
Our team had the privilege to be invited to work on this project. We decided to share with you some of the tricks which we used while creating the presentation. But just before we start, we should probably inform you how big this IPO was. Let’s just say it’s the biggest one in Bulgaria for the last 10 years and the second biggest in the whole history. It was only surpassed by the FiBank IPO which raised around 107 million leva (50+ million euro) back in 2007.
Now back to the lessons!

The folks at think-cell just announced that their add-in will now work within Microsoft Office for Mac as well. This is probably the biggest new feature that goes along with the release of think-cell 10.
think-cell has been one of the most popular add-ins that has worked within both PowerPoint and Excel versions on Windows. For those of you who are new to think-cell, it is a PowerPoint and Excel add-in that uses AI to help you create amazing charts.
Mac compatibility is not the only new feature in think-cell 10. In this video, you can explore many amazing features that have been requested by think-cell users.
You can read this release for more detailed information related to the release of think-cell 10.
I asked Markus Hannebauer of think-cell a question related to this release: Markus, do the Windows and Mac versions of think-cell work identically, and can teams that work on both platforms exchange their slides that contain think-cell content?
Absolutely. think-cell 10 features the same functionality, no matter whether you are using it on Windows or macOS. Apart from the platform-specific UI widgets, even the user interface is exactly the same. And since think-cell is 100% compatible with the Microsoft Office file formats, exchanging presentations with think-cell content between Windows and macOS users is a no-brainer.
Thank you, Markus.
