Let’s imagine that you cannot deliver your slides in person. You then want to do the next best option, that is to deliver your presentation in front of your computer, almost as if you had a live audience present. All this while, all your narrations are being recorded. Even the time you spend on each slide is recorded along with the time taken for each animation to play. You can also record your laser pointer activity if you use PowerPoint’s built in laser pointer. All of this can be saved as part of your presentation that you can send to others – and they can see this at their convenience, with your voice accompanying the slide show!

We also have tutorials on importing and managing quizzes in Adobe Presenter, an add-in for PowerPoint. Plus PowerPoint 2013 users can learn about reusing slides through the Reuse Slides task pane, and via drag and drop.

Sometimes we are exposed to slides that can be so hazardous to our vision! One look at a slide, and it really doesn’t matter if the content is great or not — because this slide has nothing understated about it. Such loud slides can ensure that audiences look more at the look of the slide rather than the content. You might end up with such slides even with no fault of yours, because someone else mis-designed them for you! Fortunately, there is an easy, one-click process to restore the sanity in the slides — it’s called the Reset button. Remember, the Reset button is your friend.
