When you select an inserted audio clip in PowerPoint 2016, you see two contextual Audio Tools tabs: Format and Playback. Once you explore the options within the Format tab, you’ll wonder why there are options to adjust, arrange, resize, and apply picture styles. Also, why does PowerPoint provide picture format options for an audio clip? That’s because an audio clip is represented by a sound icon. When you select the sound icon, the Player Controls bar is activated. Clearly, there’s so much to explore and learn.

If you have seen some PowerPoint presentations that use the Morph transition, you must have realized that they are certainly not subtle. We look at using Morph in a more understated way with our Animating Faux Backgrounds with PowerPoint Morph tutorial. In an Indezine exclusive, we have a conversation with Dr. Stephanie Evergreen, who talks about her book, Presenting Data Effectively. For the upcoming Presentation Summit 2017, we feature four speakers, who talk about their sessions: Dr. Nick Morgan, Nolan Haims, Ken Molay, and Mike Parkinson.
PowerPoint 2016 for Windows users can learn about Audio Styles, adding and removing Bookmarks for audio clips, and fading audio. We also look at Save and Save As Options in Backstage View. We also explore the new Windows 10 Creators Update. Finally, do not miss the quotes, press releases, and templates of this week.
