Many PowerPoint users may not remember that PowerPoint’s pattern fills had transparency options, so we decided to bring this ghost back from the dead, and were surprised to learn that the ghost is not dead yet. Some of you know that my friend, Ellen Finkelstein has been running the amazing Outstanding Presentations Workshop series of webinars each year–this year, one of the presenters in Joseph Ganci. Read what he will speak about. Continuing our series on the Presentation Summit speakers, we bring you the final batch of interviews: this week we bring you Steve Rindsberg, Sam Horn, and Lia Barnakova.
We also look at creating outlines for PowerPoint in Word 2016, Word 2013, Word 2011, and Word 2007. For PowerPoint Online users, we explore renaming files and sharing your PowerPoint presentations on social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Finally, do not miss the quotes, press releases, and templates of this week.

Typically, there are three common ways in which you can create slides in PowerPoint. The first of these three ways is to create an outline, but all these three ways can be combined with each other. Having said so, it is best to start by creating an outline for your presentation in another program. Mac users can create outlines in TextEdit. You can also use Microsoft Word. In this tutorial, we’ll show how you can use Word 2016 for Mac to create an outline for a PowerPoint presentation.

The Backstage view in PowerPoint for the Web provides access to the File menu and some other options. However, don’t expect the Backstage view within PowerPoint for the Web to be as full featured, compared to the Backstage view in PowerPoint’s desktop versions—in fact, there’s almost no feature to control interface elements. The options here mainly accomplish basic tasks such as sharing, saving, downloading, etc.
