Presentation Management 26: The Future of Presentations

If you think about it, over the past century humans have been forced to adapt to technology and the structure it creates. It’s not “normal” to work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or write by typing on a QWERTY keyboard. Presentations are another example. We create linear slide decks, then conform our work conversations to the deck because that’s the way the technology works, by showing us one slide at a time, in order.

Creating and Editing Custom Dictionaries in PowerPoint 365 for Windows

Although PowerPoint provides a spelling dictionary that contains a list of the most common words, you might be working on a particular project that uses uncommon words not found in everyday parlance. You could edit a custom dictionary or load ready-made third-party dictionaries within PowerPoint. However, have you thought about creating a dictionary yourself that includes a set of words for a particular project? If you need to do a legal presentation for a client once a year, you could create a separate dictionary for just this one project, and then edit it as required within a text editor such as Notepad.

Learn how to create and edit custom dictionaries in PowerPoint 365 for Windows.
