Jigsaw Graphics for PowerPoint – 01

Jigsaws are puzzles that can be solved – but then jigsaws have numbers too! Each jigsaw puzzle has a number of pieces that have to be fitted together, in the same way that many aspects of lives and businesses need to fit in with each other. Jigsaws can add a whole new level of interest to a PowerPoint slide. Here are 10 jigsaw graphics containing different shapes. These jigsaws can be used on their own, or also combined with other graphics such as a human head to create a larger concept! These graphics are available in both black and white and are contained within separate sample presentations that you download. Just copy the graphic you like and paste into another PowerPoint slide, or even a Word document or Excel worksheet.

Download and use in your slides.

Stop Underlining Your Descenders!

Most applications underline everything you select — the process is simple: you select a word, a sentence, or even an entire paragraph — and then press a keyboard shortcut or choose an option so that all the selected text is underlined. PowerPoint behaves the same way — but there’s a difference — not in the resultant text, but in how the text appears. Let us not forget that PowerPoint is a large format — more akin to a billboard than a business card — and text is often projected at large sizes.

Learn how you can make your underlined text appear distinctive by selectively removing underlines from descender characters.
