Duplicate Slides in PowerPoint for the Web

Duplicating slides is a task that can be helpful, yet its value is not always understood. The first question asked is why would anyone want to duplicate slides? There are many reasons to do so. You may want to create another slide that is similar to what you already have. You may want to use the same slide twice. You may also need to create a slightly edited chart than what you already have on an existing slide. Duplicating and editing is easier than redoing it again.

Duplicate Shapes by Dragging in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac

Shapes in PowerPoint are very useful in representing design or content, or in showing a process or a sequence. However, when you create a slide that has many such shapes, you’ll find that most of your shapes may be the same size and may also share other similar attributes. Yes, you can go ahead and insert the same shape repeatedly, but that will consume much of your productive time that you could have used elsewhere! There are quicker alternatives for duplicating shapes in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac.

Reset Pictures in PowerPoint for the Web

Once a picture is inserted within PowerPoint, any manipulations you make to that picture are strictly only on the surface. The appearance of the picture changes on the slide, but the unaltered picture is stored within your PowerPoint presentation. This is an awesome feature because if you make many changes to a picture and then regret experimenting, you can just reset your picture rather than starting all over again! There’s one caveat, though. The option to reset any picture back to its original form works only if you have not run any compression options for pictures within your presentation.
