It is fairly easy to flip a picture on your slide. However, this flipping can be a little tricky when the same picture is used as a fill for a shape. That’s because you end up with a picture that does get flipped, but so does the shape. But what if we wanted to just flip the picture? How do you achieve that result?

What if you draw a line in PowerPoint that is slanted or sloped? Now, if you want to know the length of this line, you should know that there’s no built-in feature within PowerPoint to do so. But, why would you even want to know the size of the line? That’s because you may have to create multiple diagonal lines and the second line may need to be exactly half the length of the first line. There may be any number of other reasons why you need to draw other shapes that are proportional, relative to this line.

Presentation Management is more of a strategy than a service to buy. The idea is to create efficiencies. The strategy is to gain efficiencies through the use, reuse, updating, sharing, broadcasting, tracking, and analyzing of presentations. Imagine your files created for a single purpose are being leveraged across your entire organization, always with the correct images and content. How much time, money, and frustration would that save?
