Whenever you want to add a dash, you choose from one of the dashes available to type in your keyboard. However, these are normal breaking dashes. Let us imagine that you want to type a date in a format such as 10-10-2023. However, if this date happens to be near the edge of the slide or a text box, part of the date may show up in the next line. The solution is to type in a non-breaking dash that will ensure that the date we explored above stays in the same line without breaking up between two lines.

Harvey Balls are a visual tool that can be used to depict five different levels or stages of a concept, idea, or project. These round ideograms consist of a circle with quarters added or subtracted to represent different degrees of completion or progress. They offer an excellent way for teams and individuals to visually communicate status updates, goals achieved, and work remaining in an easy-to-understand format. These five states span between start and completion.
