SmartArt in PowerPoint 2007 and 2010 has replaced the diagram options in previous versions of PowerPoint. SmartArt also allows you to replace bullet points with info-graphic content using text-within-shapes that’s more logical to view and present. All available SmartArt is available in different SmartArt categories — in addition to these categories, you can also add an additional SmartArt category that shows content from Office.com.

The AutoCorrect feature is dependent on a small list of words and phrases — this list contains two columns called Replace and With — for example the Replace entry for teh will correspond to the With entry containing the word the. Although this list works for PowerPoint users, what you must know is that this AutoCorrect list is global across all Microsoft Office programs such as Word, Excel, Outlook, etc. If you add, edit, or delete entries within this AutoCorrect list, all changes will be reflected beyond PowerPoint.

The Creative Bloq website listed five negative comments one day and followed it with five alternative designs the next day.

Pictures have an important role in presentation slides since they add imagination and visualization to your slides. To make pictures more impactful, you can even apply borders and effects to them, and also try some Picture Styles that PowerPoint offers. Other than these options, there is one more option that works in the same way as how you convert text to SmartArt — this is the Picture Layout option that similarly converts selected pictures into SmartArt.
