In his international bestseller Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, author Malcolm Gladwell writes about how people make snap judgments based on first impressions. While Gladwell’s time frame for a first impression is just two seconds, I’ll give you a bit more leeway for your presentations: you have a maximum of 90 seconds to engage your audience.

PowerPoint provides you with so many different shape types, and you can format them in a variety of ways. You can resize, rotate, and flip them, and there are also special yellow handles that let you change some aspects of the shape. They enable you to change some facets of the selected shape, or in some cases, you can change the entire shape. So, if you’re ever feeling like you need a change, just grab one of these handles and go to town!

We begin with a feature by Laura Autumn Cox of Toastmasters International, who says that if you can hold a conversation, you can ace a job interview. To help you nail this potentially life-changing moment of rapport-building, she highlights four key things to bear in mind.

We then look at the special yellow round handles that let you change some aspects of the shape in PowerPoint 365 for Windows. These handles enable you to change some facets of the selected shape, or in some cases, you can change the entire shape. In other tutorials, PowerPoint 365 for Mac and PowerPoint for the Web users can learn how to change existing shapes. We also bring you quotes, press releases, and templates from the last few days.

As we all know, shapes can often look very similar to each other. This similarity can sometimes lead to us using the wrong shape for a project, which can be a huge time waster. For example, you may create a 5-pointed star when you need a star with 4 or 8 points. Or you may have worked on a shape and applied effects, animations, and fills to it, only to later realize that you used the wrong one or that the client wants a different shape. In cases like this, you may think it’s best to delete the existing shape and start over again. However, we’re here to tell you that there’s no need to do so! Why? That’s because there is an easier option to change existing shapes. Well, that’s not entirely true in PowerPoint for the Web, but with a little help from desktop versions on Windows or the Mac, you can do so!
