When is Smiling Appropriate to the Audience?
"Did you know that in social encounters women smile 87 percent of the time versus 67 percent for men, and that
women are 26 percent more likely to return smiles from the opposite sex?" These are just a few statistics from
The Definitive Book of Body Language by Allan and Barbara Pease (who also wrote Why Men Don't Listen and Women
Can't Read Maps). The authors go on to provide even more statistics on the importance of smiling -- and not
smiling. "The lessons here," they conclude, "are for women to smile less when dealing with dominant men in
business or to mirror the amount of smiling that men do. And if men want to be more persuasive with women, they
need to smile more in all contexts."

Handmade Slides: Map Pins for PowerPoint - 06 and 07
These "map pin" graphics are already placed in PowerPoint slides - just
copy the pins and then paste within your own slides that already contain a map. It's so easy now to highlight
a location on your map! Other than maps, you can also use these map pins like regular push pins so that a
picture, shape, or anything else appears as if it has been pushed onto a surface, board, or wall with a pin!
Download and use these map pins in your slides |
Google Image Source Search In Depth Google's Image Source Search is an amazing piece of work - we use it all the time to find a source
of an unknown image! So how does Google recognize an image -- with text, of course Google's search algorithms have some content to index
and then retrieve? But what does it store for images? Colors? Resolution? File name? Or more?
Learn how Google's Image Source Search works |
Why do I need Office 365 to run Office Mobile? 
OK - you are used to installing apps on your iPhones and iPads - first download, and then run the app. You may have to pay for the app
- and most of the time, your money gets into the pockets of Apple's App Store even before you actually download the app. However, things are
a little different with the Office Mobile app that lets you run Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on an iPhone - you will soon realize that
although the actual app was free to download, you will need to pay for an Office 365 subscription to run the program.

Notes Master View
Each slide in your PowerPoint deck can have some notes associated with it -- and these are placed
in the Notes pane area. Do you want to print all these slide notes? Yes, you can -- however very
few people realize that you can print these notes in the form of a properly structured Notes Page.
This might be among the least used PowerPoint options -- but this certainly is among the most
useful ones! Incidentally, even the small number of people who print Notes pages never realize
that the look of their printed Notes pages can be modified within the Notes Master. Any changes
you make within the Notes Master view affects the look within Notes Page view, and the layout
of printed Notes pages.
Slide Show View
Have you created all your slides -- and now you want to show it in front of an audience? Or you just
want to use this slide deck in a webinar, or even see them yourself to understand how they look in full
screen view? In that case, the view that plays your presentation in full screen mode is Slide Show view.
To access Slide Show view, you can choose any of these options. |

Working with Slide Numbers
In a presentation with plenty of slides, it's quite easy to locate a specific slide as long as you know the sequence of your slide
deck. You can see which slide number an active slide is within both Normal and Slide Sorter views. However, the same requirement
becomes a challenge during Slide Show view, especially if you also want your audience to be able to see the slide numbers. To do
so, you must enable slide numbers on the slides -- here are the steps required to do so in PowerPoint 2011.
Add and/or Remove Toolbars
PowerPoint 2011 on the Mac continues to still use Toolbars although the Windows versions of PowerPoint got rid of
them a few years ago -- that's great since as a PowerPoint 2011 user, you have more options to perform the same tasks.
Additionally, you can customize your Toolbars in PowerPoint 2011 -- this will save you time since your favorite commands
will be more easily accessible -- thereby increasing your efficiency and productivity. Also, your new customized Toolbars
are not fixed at one position. Instead, they float -- they can be dragged to any screen position. You can change their
length and width by clicking and dragging the lower-right corner of the Toolbar.
Add and/or Remove Toolbar Commands
It's great to be able to customize a program according to your workflow -- it's almost like how everyone likes to organize
the stuff on their desks, or even the furniture in their rooms. One of the ways that PowerPoint allows you to customize the
interface is via adding custom Toolbars -- this can be of great help when you use a certain set of commands repeatedly for
your tasks. Once you add a new Toolbar though, it's time to populate the Toolbar with your favorite commands. You can add,
reorder, and also remove commands from a Toolbar, as explained in the following steps. |
