| PowerPoint: Program or File Format? |
| |
| |
In the last issue, we looked at the PowerPoint ecosystem and hinted that the PowerPoint file format is the secret of Microsoft's success on the presentation platform. Now
let us understand why is this the secret.
PowerPoint’s file format isn’t just a technical convenience—it’s the silent enabler behind nearly every shared presentation. No one crafts a deck with the intention of keeping it to themselves. Whether developed in PowerPoint, a complementary tool, or a competing platform, the moment of sharing almost always hinges on one thing: compatibility with the PowerPoint file format.
Enjoy reading the content this time, and see you soon. |

| Hiding Slide Titles in PowerPoint |
| |
 |
| |
Slide titles in PowerPoint are more than just labels—they structure your presentation, enhance accessibility, and streamline navigation. But what if a visible title disrupts your slide design? Instead of deleting it entirely, you can opt for hidden titles, retaining all their benefits while keeping your layout clean.
In this guide, we
explore why hidden slide titles matter and share effective methods to conceal them without compromising functionality. |

| PowerPoint in the Workplace: Seven Personas |
| |

It’s like the office Wi-Fi—always on, always there, and you only notice when it’s missing. In this article, we’ll uncover why PowerPoint became the workplace’s unofficial mascot—and why it refuses to
retire, no matter how many flashy new tools show up to challenge it. |

| More than Pretty: Composition that Impacts Meaning |
| |
 |
| |
| Just like in photography or painting, composition in slide design is key to making content engaging, clear, and memorable. Composition is the spatial relationship between all the elements on a slide. Whether it’s text, images, colors, or font choices, the way elements are arranged determines their look, feel, and meaning. Here is a real-world
example where composition helped transform a presentation meant to convince a committee of the merits of rebuilding a hospital cafeteria. |

Every new technology disrupts: by Kanwal Rekhi
"Every new technology (AI) disrupts. The Internet disrupted publishing, music, retail, but it also creates opportunities. It’s (AI is) a power tool. It should be used wisely. I keep hearing they will take over the world. I understand programming. I don’t believe that will happen."

| Interactive Presentations Make You Smarter |
| |
 |
| |
| Kudos to Microsoft for finally adding an interactive feature to PowerPoint through the Zoom feature. Zoom lets presenters jump around their presentation, rather than lock them into a rigid, linear slide show. Prezi has built quite a following with their interactive presentations. And Shufflrr’s broadcast mode allows presenters to present content
from all over their slide library, not just from PowerPoint. |
