Bulleted lists are almost the mainstay of PowerPoint slides these days, inspite of the repeated cries about how bullets can cause “death by PowerPoint”. Well, too much of anything cannot be good, and so it is with bullets! However most PowerPoints slide layouts are already set up with placeholders for bulleted lists (or paragraphs) – so that when you start typing into a text placeholder, your text is automatically bulleted. Sometimes making some changes to how your bullets appear visually can make a difference — so we show you how you can change the bullet styles for your text placeholders (or text boxes) in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows.

Microsoft Office applications do not use tabs like web browsers, nor do some of the Office applications benefit from a multiple document interface. A tabbed interface can therefore make it so much easier to access all open documents within the interface of a program such as PowerPoint. This is particularly true if you are working with multiple presentations, and need to frequently switch between them. Office Tab 7, the product that we are reviewing gets over this limitation by providing a tabbed interface to PowerPoint and other Office 2003, 2007, and 2010 applications.

In the last few days, we have shown you all the options available to you for creating Photo Album presentations in PowerPoint — and yet there’s something that is larger than all these options put together — that is creativity and curiosity. This creativity and curiosity can only be satisfied with practice and inspiration. Even though the option to edit your existing Photo Album provides you with the freedom to experiment and tweak, nothing is more important than actually experimenting and playing with all those options.
View some sample Photo Album presentations, and explore the options chosen to create them.

The Symbols tab of the Media Browser provides access to all the symbols for keyboard characters, foreign languages, registered and copyright symbols, currency, etc. — these symbols typically need to be inserted with a combination of keystrokes, and getting to add them to your slides with a single-click access can be a boon.
