When you look at charts on a PowerPoint slide from afar, you make out the value of a series by exploring where exactly it’s placed vis-à-vis the axis. Of course, if your chart has data labels that identify values, then this is less of an issue. So what is the solution to this problem? Tick Marks placed on the axes will help us get a better idea.
Learn about the Tick Marks, both Major and Minor on chart axes in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows.

If you are the member of a group that is working on a presentation, or if you are getting your presentation designed by someone else, then you will need to give feedback, without actually editing the slides themselves. Comments are great for such scenarios — a comment is a note that you can attach to any slide object or to a whole slide. The ability to add comments into your PowerPoint presentation enables you to write important notes for particular slide object or for the slide. Once you add a comment in PowerPoint 2011, you can edit the comment and even delete the comment, as explained in the following steps.
Learn how to add, edit, or delete comments within PowerPoint 2011 for Mac.

Unlike rehearsing slides, recording a slide show is not something that’s a practice session. Rather, recording slides is almost like delivering a presentation that you cannot deliver in person! Does that sound confusing? 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!
