Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Comparing and Merging Presentations

If you are working on a presentation with your clients, or even a co-worker — then you might end up in a situation where you both did not work on the same copy, one after the other. Instead, you worked on two different copies. These copies contain changes done by you both — some similar and some different. Now you need to compare and merge these copies into a single, cohesive file without losing anything at all! Yes, you can manually compare side by side in PowerPoint 2013 — this option works great if there are very few changes. For anything more involved, you will want to use the Compare feature which was introduced in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows. This feature combines two presentations provided by you, and then shows you the differences between them. You can then decide which changes to include, or discard within the final version of your presentation.

Learn how to compare and merge presentations in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows.

Irregular Shapes for PowerPoint: 08

To make your slides look more pleasing and aesthetic, you must add a personal touch. Using geometric shapes on your slides provides an organized look to your slides, but for that personal touch, your slides can use shapes such as these, that are irregular and organic. What if you could make all shape segments in your slides curved, slanted, and natural looking – as if they are hand-drawn? Won’t that look more organic? If you agree, then you will certainly love these new irregular shapes for PowerPoint.

Download and use these shapes in your slides.

Adobe Presenter: Slide Manager

For those of you who are not familiar with Adobe Presenter, this is a PowerPoint add-in that lets you create eLearning content within PowerPoint. The Slide Manager option in Adobe Presenter allows you to view and adjust your individual PowerPoint slide properties. The information provided by Slide Manager is more detailed than what you can access within the PowerPoint interface. For example, you can see a thumbnail of each slide — next to each thumbnail, you’ll find details about Slide Title, Presenter Information, Navigation Name, Navigation Options, Slide Advance Behavior, Lock Slide Information, and Multimedia Information.
