Inspect Document in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows

When your presentation is something you deliver, it rarely matters if you have any content invisible to your audiences, such as your slide notes, comments, and document properties. Typically, none of these are visible to your audience, and you are free to add any information in these areas that will enable you to be better prepared to deliver your slides. However, if you need to share the same PowerPoint presentation with colleagues, or even publish it online, the scenario will be different. Most users don’t even think twice about all this information simply due to lack of awareness. They should because most of this content may include hidden data or information that you or your company may not want to share.

Screen Recording in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows

Similar to the Screenshot option that lets you capture still screenshots, you can use the new Screen Recording option in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows to quickly record a video clip of your onscreen activity, from within the program. Do note though that this Screen Recording option is among the new features introduced in PowerPoint 2016, and also added as part of the February 2015 updates to PowerPoint 2013. You will only find this option in PowerPoint 2013 if you have installed all recent updates.

Group, Ungroup, and Regroup Shapes in PowerPoint 2016 for Windows

So, what exactly does grouping within PowerPoint mean? And what are the ungrouping and regrouping options meant to do further? The moment you select a slide object such as a shape on a PowerPoint slide, you will see some selection handles that indicate the shape is selected. Select another shape while the first one is still selected, and you see two sets of selection handles. If you need to similarly select many shapes on a slide often, this sort of selection may become cumbersome and waste so much time. In that case, it’s best you select all the shapes you need to work with, and then combine them into one “group” of shapes.
