Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Audio Styles

When you select an audio clip in PowerPoint 2013, you will see two extra contextual tabs on the Ribbon. One of these tabs is the Audio Tool Playback tab that provides options to configure properties that define how your inserted audio will play. Whether it will play automatically, or will it play audio across slides? Let’s assume that you want your audio to play as a background score across multiple slides — typically you would have to make four separate choices — but PowerPoint 2013’s new Audio Styles feature lets you automatically apply these four settings at once!

Learn PowerPoint 2007 for Windows: Edit Points for Shapes

When you insert a shape within PowerPoint, you are not limited to what their default appearance looks like. You may want to change a rectangle to a rhombus, or even edit a curved or freeform line differently. The good news is that you can do this using the Edit Points option — this almost makes PowerPoint a drawing program that provides you the option to play with vertexes (points), handles, etc. — very similar to what you would do in Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW.

Dynamic TIME: The Indezine Review

Let’s imagine that you want to show a clock on your slides — or, do you want to show a countdown or even counters of seconds, minutes, hours, or even days? Or if your countdown gets to zero, you may want something to happen after that, such as moving to another slide? Of course, this is possible to achieve in PowerPoint. All you need is a thorough knowledge of programming, and even better — a programmer sitting next to you all the time so that you don’t have to worry about setting it all up! We found a better solution, and it does not need a full time programmer — it only needs a one-time investment of a few dollars. And it’s an add-in called Dynamic TIME that plugs right within PowerPoint.

Explore how you can add a live clock, countdown or even counters on your slides using Dynamic TIME, an add-in for PowerPoint.
