Handmade Slides: Map Pins for PowerPoint – 10

Have you seen slides that include a cool “map pin” graphic? These are typically placed on a map to show a location – and similarly multiple map pins can be placed to show multiple locations. Do you want to create the same visual experience on your slides to show to your audiences? It’s easy with this complete collection of map pins (more than 300 map pins in this collection – only 10 of these are shown on this page). The map pin graphics are already placed in PowerPoint slides you will download – just copy the individual pin you want, and then paste the pin within your own slides that already contain a map. Beyond maps, you can also use these map pins like regular push pins so that a picture, shape, or anything else appears as if it has been pushed onto a surface, board, or wall with a pin!

Download and use these map pins in your slides.

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Ribbon Preferences

Working with the Ribbon in PowerPoint 2011 is intuitive to a very large extent — and it certainly involves a little more than just learning to minimize and maximize the Ribbon tabs. In fact, you can customize to the extent of hiding the entire Ribbon altogether — or changing the Ribbon tab color from orange and a more muted gray. You can also show or hide group headings within individual tabs, etc.

Learn about preferences that allow you to customize your Ribbon in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac.
