Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Spell Check

For presentations that contain slides with too much text, or even little text — there are always chances of spelling mistakes showing up! However, you don’t necessarily have to search for these mistakes by skimming all your slides one by one since PowerPoint lets you do a spell check of the entire presentation, and make corrections as well. However there are some caveats associated with spell checking, and this does not have anything to do with PowerPoint.

Learn how to run a spell check on your entire presentation in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows.

Clichés: Globe Pictures in PowerPoint

Globes again on your slides? And why not? A globe represents so much – just adding a picture of a globe can scream “international”! And maybe that’s the problem? Maybe that’s the cliché? Maybe it would be better to use something else as a visual rather than a globe? Now these questions have “maybe” written all over them, and you really cannot expect to get simple “yes” and “no” answers, as in “yes, you can still use a globe picture”, or “no, you cannot”. Even then, we can still discuss and find solutions for ourselves – not through direct answers, but through introspection.

Learn why globe pictures can look clichéd, and what you can do to get better alternatives.
