Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Add Your Logo or Graphic to the Slide Master

You may have observed an omnipresent company logo on many slides in a presentation — and that raises a question: do you really need to have a company logo on all your slides? First, it takes a fair amount of space. Secondly, the audience knows which company the speaker belongs to since that information is almost always placed on the first slide. Also speakers do introduce themselves and their companies — so, why do all slides need that extra branding? All these questions are fair, and there are equally honest answers for them. You should certainly add a company logo to your first slide, and then place a more subtle or watermarked logo on the rest of the slides — or even no logo at all.

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Outline View

The Outline view is new for PowerPoint 2013 — wait, that’s not absolutely true since you always had access to your presentation’s text outline through the Slides / Outline pane on the left side of the PowerPoint interface. What’s changed though is that you no longer need to switch tabs within the pane (as you would do in PowerPoint 2010) — now you just access the outline within a new view! The Outline view displays all the text contained within the title and text placeholders of your slides, and is one of the ten views in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows.
