| PowerPoint: Extended Horizons |
| |
| |
Think PowerPoint is just for making slides? Nope! That’s like saying your smartphone is only for making calls. Under its hood, PowerPoint has a powerful engine called the object model—basically a fancy way of saying it can follow instructions like a robot butler. Want to automate tasks or build something snazzy?
That’s where VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) comes in. It's like teaching your PowerPoint robot new tricks!
But wait, there’s more in the Microsoft magic box (previously called Microsoft 365, but now part of Copilot). Alongside PowerPoint, you get Word, your type-anything buddy, and Excel, the undisputed superhero of spreadsheets. If spreadsheets had a Hall of Fame, Excel would be the first inductee with a cape and a calculator!
So yeah, PowerPoint is more than just slides—it’s
part of a super team that can automate, calculate, design, and dazzle. |

| VBA Code: Paste in Place |
| |
 |
| |
| Ever tried copying an object in PowerPoint and found it refuses to sit still when pasted? Instead of landing neatly atop the original—like a twin returning to its bunk bed—it drifts off like a rebellious balloon. This default offset paste behavior can be especially annoying when working with precise layouts, animations, or rotational effects that
demand pixel-perfect placement. That’s where VBA steps in like a backstage ninja, letting you paste objects exactly where you want—no nudging required. |

| Why Did Excel Leave Other Spreadsheets in the Dust? |
| |
 |
| |
| When people think “spreadsheet,” their minds usually drift to something about as thrilling as watching paint dry on a tax form. But Excel? It flipped the script. Packed with smart features, surprising flair, and a history sprinkled with innovation (and yes, even competitions), Excel turned number-crunching into something oddly satisfying—maybe even
a little bit cool. |

Our Verbal Mind Does Not Work Without Our Visual Mind: by Ekaterina Walter and
Jessica Gioglio
"Our verbal mind does not work without our visual mind. Those of us raised in the western educational tradition find that terrifying. Pictures trivialize, drawings are silly, doodles patronize, art is decoration. These are the things we’re told in school. In this marvelous book, Ekaterina Walter and Jessica Gioglio show us how wrong we are. Thinking in pictures is our nature. Sharing those pictures has long been our dream. With the arrival of global social media,
we have a whole new set of tools to make that dream come true."
