Did you know that it is possible to export every single slide in your PowerPoint presentation as a separate presentation? And really–you need nothing other than PowerPoint. We show you how. We also look at slide dimension size differences in different versions of PowerPoint. We then look at the differences between Office 2016 and Office 365. Plus, did you know that you can get Microsoft Office for free? Or even at a very low rate?
