Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Text Fills

Most of the time, text in PowerPoint is filled with either a black or a white solid fill, or any color that contrasts with the color of the slide background — this color info is contained within the Theme applied to the presentation. There may be times when you want to change this default text fill to some other particular color. Or, perhaps you applied a WordArt Style to your text — and you are happy with everything else within that WordArt Style except the text fill. PowerPoint’s Text Fill option provides you with plenty of fill options for your text — fill options include solid colors, gradients, textures, and also pictures.

Learn PowerPoint 2010 for Windows: Viewing Sections

If your presentation has a large Section, containing plenty of slides, then it is quite possible that this Section may make it difficult to view the other remaining Sections — the reason here is that content slides of this huge Section cover up so much screen area that it becomes difficult for you to see the slides in the other Sections. And if you want to drag a slide from one Section to another, you may be at a loss to comprehend what you will end up with — and where your slide will move to? So, to counter this problem, you can collapse and expand single and multiple Sections.

What WordArt does to the text is similar to what PowerPoint’s Shape Styles option does to shapes.
