Getting Started with Flowcharts

A flowchart is a diagram that explains a process visually and sequentially in a series of steps — each such step is represented visually by a flowchart symbol. Common flowchart symbols look no different than your regular oval, diamond, or rectangle shapes. Each of these shapes can be connected to another with lines that have arrows on one end indicating the direction of a flowchart process.

Get up to speed with flowcharts and refresh your terminology.

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: File Types that can be Opened

Programs such as PowerPoint are a very significant part of our workflows not just because of their vast abilities but also because they can understand content from so many file formats. These include file types that PowerPoint can save and open — we already explored file types that PowerPoint 2013 can save to — but when you go and look at the file types that PowerPoint 2013 can open, you’ll find that the list of file types is not exactly the same – there are several omissions and additions compared to that list. When you access the Open dialog in PowerPoint 2013, you can choose the file type you want to open.

Handmade Slides: Map Pins for PowerPoint – 08

Do you want to add a hand crafted “map pin” graphic on your slide so that it looks like you want to create a different visual experience for your audience? 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.
