Speak Concisely: by Claudyne Wilder
Speaking concisely and to the point is a much-needed skill in business. Presenters who are brief and on target appear more knowledgeable
than those who ramble from detail to detail. Many presenters believe the opposite: that the more they share, the better everyone will
think they know the subject. That is just not true. The key is to accurately gauge what and how much information your audience needs to know.

Eyedropper Option
Although PowerPoint lets you choose almost any color you want, it is often difficult to choose the same color as a picture on the slide! You may
want to match the colors of shapes or text on your slides to a picture, or even some other object (maybe a logo or even the slide background) of
your PowerPoint presentation to give your slides a cohesive look. PowerPoint 2013's new Eyedropper option enables you to pick an exact color
from anywhere, sometimes even from somewhere outside PowerPoint! Even better, when you are picking up the color from a source, you get to see the
color preview as well as the RGB value of the color you are picking.

Change Background Styles in the Slide Master
In PowerPoint, the Slide Master influences the layout and look of all slides in your presentation. One of the changes you can make to
your Slide Master is applying the Background Style used so that all slide layouts and actual slides in your presentation use a different
slide background. In this tutorial, we will explore how you can choose from any of the 12 available Background Styles to apply to the
Slide Master.
Slide Layouts within Slide Master View
While exploring how you can change the Slide Layout of any given slide(s), we have seen that when you access the Home tab of the Ribbon
and click the Layout button, the Layout drop-down gallery opens. The number of Slide Layouts that you see in this gallery may differ
depending upon the Theme of your active presentation -- but with PowerPoint's default Office Theme applied, you will see 11 layouts in
PowerPoint 2011. So, where do these Slide Layouts come from? What influences how they look, or how the placeholders within them are laid
out?
