Share PowerPoint Presentations Online using the Microsoft Office Web Viewer

Let us say that you want to share your PowerPoint presentations with others – but you don’t know if they have a version of PowerPoint installed on their computers. Or what if you change your presentation slides, and you want your audience or intended recipients to always have access to your updated content? If either of these scenarios sounds familiar to you, then you will love Microsoft’s new Microsoft Office Web Viewer.

PowerPoint and Presenting News: April 23, 2013

Do you like it when the underline you use for any word crosses the descenders for some characters? Looks like a strike-through? The good news is that you can stop underlining your descenders! That was about text — and now about pictures. Here’s a question: Are you sure that the Creative Commons licensed picture on Flickr is essentially an original picture? Get answers to this burning question! We also have an interview with Jan Schultink, author of a new book called Pitch It! And to top it all, you’ll find the last installment of our Pushpin graphics collection. Finally, you will find simple-to-understand, cross referenced tutorials on PowerPoint tasks. If you use PowerPoint 2013 for Windows, look at our tutorials on working with Grids. PowerPoint 2011 for Mac users will enjoy tutorials on Poster frames and Correction adjustments for movie clips.

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Adding More Guides

Once you have made Guides visible on your PowerPoint slides, they show up in the same position on all other slides within the presentation. You’ll find that only two Guides — one horizontal and one vertical Guide are visible at first, and these two Guides intersect at the center of the slide. Most of the time, this might work for you, but you can actually add more Guides since these can help in positioning slide objects better across successive slides.

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Video (Movie) Recolor Options

PowerPoint 2011 allows you make limited changes to your inserted movie clips. In a previous tutorial, we have already explored how you can correct the brightness and contrast for an inserted movie by using the Corrections option. Additionally, you can also completely recolor your inserted movie — for example, you can make your full color movie appear grayscale, or even like a duo-toned movie combining grayscale with any one color such as blue, green, etc. Do remember that the movie Recolor options work almost similarly to Picture Recolor options.
