PowerPoint and Presenting Stuff

Indezine News Released

We all live in a world where we have to multitask, even if we do not want to. Email continues to flow into the inbox, and as soon as you have finished taking care of your bloated inbox, there’s a fresh load for you to take care of. I really don’t mean to say that I don’t like email, but once in a while it would be nice to not get any email the entire day — but if that happened, I am sure I would be contacting the support folks at my email provider to ensure that everything is running just fine at their end! Now that is funny — and sometimes, it can be so cool to laugh at yourself.

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Action Buttons

Shapes may look basic or even primitive, but they are the building blocks of almost anything you create on your PowerPoint slides. Fortunately, you are not deprived of choices — PowerPoint provides plenty of shapes categorized into nine types. Among all the shape types, Action Buttons behave a wee bit differently. Action Buttons are essentially rectangular shapes that are used as navigation aids to navigate between slides — or even another presentation, document, or a web URL. You insert an Action Button in almost the same way as you insert any other shape.

Learn how to insert an Action button on a slide in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac.

Chart Advisor: The Indezine Review

Have you ever wondered if the typical column chart you use all the time is the best way to present your data? Or should you explore the other variations for column charts? Maybe, you should use a stacked area chart to show some data in a better way? There are so many questions — and answers to most of them would be on the lines of “Great, but first I need to see what these charts look like with my data!” That’s a perfectly valid reasoning — and Chart Advisor, our review product can be just what you need — unfortunately, it has two big disadvantages that we will explore soon after we introduce you to the product!

Learn how Chart Advisor can help you explore and choose from different chart types suitable for your data.

Animated Slide: Friday the 13th

This animated slide follows a scary (we tried) Friday the 13th concept. There’s a haunted house, two ghosts, and even a witch who frequently flies across the slide on her broom! We used plenty of animations to create this effect – and although this entire slide was created in PowerPoint 2010, it should work just fine in most PowerPoint versions on Windows and Mac. All animations are set to repeat indefinitely so that the ghost keep on bouncing and fading until you navigate to the next slide.

Download and use this slide in your presentation.
