Doug Thomas used to review movies and rent you–or your parents–VHS tapes. After working a few months at Microsoft, he had an idea to get other people to create videos about Office. That idea turned into a new job of creating videos and training content for Office Support including the Office 15-Minute Webinars and his current series, Doug from Office. However, none of his videos are on VHS.
In this conversation, Doug talks about his session at the upcoming Presentation Summit 2017 in Clearwater Beach, FL.

In 1788, Richard Austin created Bell, a serif typeface for the British Letter Foundry. Since then, this typeface went through an amazing journey. The typeface faded after its initial popularity with newspaper and magazine printers. Bell did find more favor in the United States during the 19th and the 20th centuries, and it was revived in 1931 by Monotype Corporation. Bell MT became a popular typeface, right up there along with Baskerville and Bodoni. Bell MT also made the transition from analog to digital. It gained popularity and wide acceptance when Microsoft bundled Bell MT as part of its Microsoft Office installations.
We look at Bell MT, a serif font family created in 1788.

Alternatively, you may want to show other objects on the slide while your audio clip is playing. All this while, the original audio or video clip should continue playing. How do you achieve this result?
Animate any object in PowerPoint 2016 while a media clip on the same slide is still playing.

Business presentations are infamous for being incredibly boring and I am sure that you must know a few boring presenters personally.
