Identify 32-Bit or 64-Bit in PowerPoint and Office 2013 for Windows

Sometimes, you want to know whether you are running a 32 or 64-bit version of PowerPoint or Office. Yes, if you are running a 32-bit version of Windows, then there’s no ambiguity in the fact that you have to be running a 32-bit version of Office. But if you are running a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows, you may be running a 32 or a 64-bit version of Office. It is not uncommon for sysadmins and even users to run 32-bit Office within a 64-bit Windows environment. Why? That’s because there are add-ins for Office products that may not work in a 64-bit version of Office. Or you may have another reason. Luckily, it’s easy to identify 32-bit or 64-bit if you know where to look.

Find out whether your PowerPoint and Office 2013 version is 32 or 64-bit.

The Importance of Behavioral Flexibility in Leadership

By Ally Yates

1. Establishing a clear vision
2. Sharing that vision with others, in a clear and compelling way
3. Providing others with the resources to realize that vision
4. Coordinating, the sometimes conflicting, interests of all stakeholders

But there is a fifth, often overlooked characteristic; the need for leaders to be able to flex their style, dependent on the situation. A business with its back against the wall requires a different style to one which is enjoying a profitable, steady state.

Views in PowerPoint for the Web

Your slides remain the same, yet the various views in PowerPoint make exploring those same slides a little different. This approach makes sense because viewing slides in Slide Show view gives an entirely different perspective than editing them in Editing view. Further, it’s easier to skim through your slides in Reading view, and then make changes to individual slides in Editing view. All put together, PowerPoint Online provides you with three different views.

Learn about various views that allow you to edit and show slides in PowerPoint Online.
