PowerPoint’s implementation of the Widescreen aspect ratio has changed somewhat over the last few versions. If you work with multiple versions, it is critical that you are aware of these differences. On a related note, we bring back a conversation with Steve Rindsberg about PPTools Resize, his PowerPoint add-in that resizes slide dimensions. We also look at the Curtains transition effect, introduced in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows. Plus we feature two speakers who talk about their sessions at the upcoming Presentation Summit: Echo Swinford and Taylor Croonquist.
For users of PowerPoint 2016 for Windows, we look at Sections. Tutorials include Getting Started with Sections, Adding and Renaming Sections, Moving Slides Between Sections, and Removing Sections. Finally, do not miss the quotes, press releases, and templates of this week.

Observe people creating PowerPoint decks, and you can easily divide them all into two distinct groups, based on their usage of fonts:
People in the former group are those who just need to finish creating their slide decks, or those who have strict corporate guidelines that prevent them from changing fonts. Everyone else is part of the second group.

In PowerPoint, Sections are not just for effective and easy management of your slides, but they can also let you quickly reorder large blocks of adjacent slides. All you got to do is to place all slides you want to reorder within a single Section, and then move that Section.

To logically group your slides into parts, you should explore the Sections option in PowerPoint. Sections open up many possibilities, and you are not just limited to adding and renaming Sections. You can also move slides from one Section to another, change the order of Sections, or collapse/expand Sections. Of course, you can also remove a Section, as we explain here.
