Learn PowerPoint for iPad: Add Places

Whenever you save a file, or open an existing file within PowerPoint for iPad, you access what is called a “Place”. Thus a “Place” is a location to save and access files. The question then is why do you need a Place? Can’t you just navigate a file structure and save files? No, you cannot because the iPad does not expose its file structure. In addition, some Places you access on an iPad are cloud locations such as OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, iCloud, etc. that are not part of the iPad’s storage. So in other words, a Place is a determined and established location.

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Changing Location of Slide Numbers

When you insert Slide Numbers on your slides, you may discover that the location of the Slide Number changes depending upon the active Theme of your slides. With some Themes, the Slide Number may be placed at the bottom right — with other Themes, it may be located at the top right, or even in some other place. The location of the Slide Number may seem to be influenced by the Theme — and that’s almost true. However, a Theme is a larger concept — it’s only the Slide Master, a subset of your Theme that’s influencing the position of your Slide Numbers.

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Applying Slide Masters to Individual Slides

Adding a new Slide Master to your presentation is easy — and an even easier way is to possibly duplicate an existing Slide Master. You can then format it to change its look by applying a Background Style or by adding a custom background. You can also add new Slide Layouts, etc. But why would you do all these tasks in the first place? There needs to be a compelling reason to do so. This reason leads us to the next logical step — that is to apply the new Slide Master you created to selected slides within your presentation.

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Working With Picture Slide Layouts

PowerPoint’s, Slide Layouts are a very useful feature because they let you use a boilerplate arrangement of placeholders repeatedly, resulting in slides that are laid out consistently. And, you can also create your own custom Slide Layouts. While very few users create their own custom Slide Layouts, even fewer will create a custom Slide Layout with pictures! That’s unfortunate since Picture Slide Layouts can make your slides look so unique. In this tutorial, we will show you how you can easily create your own Picture Slide Layout in PowerPoint 2011.
