Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Selecting Text

PowerPoint and indeed all Microsoft Office programs allow you to work with a particular object only if it is selected. For example, you select a shape to make changes to the shape. You similarly select a chart to edit the chart. And yes, you can select a text container object such as a text placeholder, a text box, or even a shape — and then make changes to its position, formatting, size, etc. However, this changes the entire object — and leaves the actual text content within that object largely unchanged. To make changes to the actual text, you first need to select the text separately and then make changes by using the options available within the Home tab of the Ribbon or the Mini Toolbar.

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Dummy Text

At some point of time, we all need dummy text to quickly add to our slides so that we can ascertain how a body of text looks or fits within a certain text box or placeholder. Microsoft introduced an undocumented feature in PowerPoint that enables you achieve this with just a few keystrokes, and once you are used to these shortcuts, you’ll learn to appreciate this feature so much!

Snowflakes for PowerPoint

Do you want to add snowflakes to your slides, for the winter look? Do you want snowflakes that are already animated for you? Then you will love these Snowflakes for PowerPoint – this product includes both non-animated and animated snowflakes. These snowflakes are already within PowerPoint slides. Just copy the entire slide (with multiple snowflakes for the animated versions) or just single snowflakes (for the non-animated version – and then paste within your slides). You get 5 sets of snowflakes – four of them are of different styles, and the 5th one has snowflakes that are broken or melted! Combine snowflakes from all 5 sets to create something unique and special.
