PowerPoint Online Interface Although PowerPoint has always been a desktop program, Microsoft
has made impressive strides in porting the entire program to function as a web based program -- and even more amazing is
the fact that PowerPoint Online on OneDrive (previously known as SkyDrive) is completely free for anyone to use. Here's a
quick walkthrough of the PowerPoint Online interface. Do note that to a large extent, the PowerPoint Online interface
mimics the PowerPoint desktop interface. However, there are some differences as well, as you will understand better
from this tutorial.

Set Color for Table Borders
Table borders in PowerPoint sport the default color from the Theme applied to the presentation. However, you can override
and change this color as required. Not only you can set the table border color for the new tables before they are drawn,
but also you can change the color of existing table borders. Follow these steps to learn more.
Touch / Mouse Mode
Look closely at the interface within PowerPoint 2013, particularly the Customize Quick Access Toolbar drop-down menu,
and you'll find the Touch/Mouse Mode command. This essentially is a toggle button that alternates between touch and mouse modes.
Touch mode is the default mode when using PowerPoint on a touch device such as the Microsoft Surface or other tablets, and
lets you use the program even without a mouse. And Mouse mode is the default mode for PowerPoint 2013 when working on a
non-touch enabled desktop or laptop. The larger question though is why you can toggle to the Touch mode in a non-touch
device. If you are using PowerPoint on a desktop, why you need the Touch mode?
Set Line Style for Table Borders
The borders for tables that you create within PowerPoint are thin lines by default. You can change the weight of these borders
to make them thicker -- but even before you do so, there are certain prerequisites to take care of. First of all, if you have
applied any of the Table Styles, then some borders may have been set to be invisible. So, you need to set them to be visible
first since there's no sense in thickening an invisible border. Once table borders are visible, you can make changes to their
appearance -- you can change their color, line style, or thickness.
Inserting Screenshots
By its very nature, PowerPoint is an application that takes content of different types and arranges them all together coherently
within a slide. Such content often includes text, pictures, charts, multimedia, and other types. Additionally, since many people use
PowerPoint for training programs -- you will find many slides that contain screenshots of computer program interfaces. Typically, you
capture these screenshots in another program and then insert that screenshot like a regular picture within PowerPoint 2013. This task
is made even more easy as now you can quickly and easily add a screenshot from within PowerPoint without even leaving the program you
are working in. |

Recolor Picture Backgrounds
It's true that picture backgrounds add value to your presentations. Yet, one of the worst things that you can do to your
PowerPoint presentation is to add a busy, multi-colored slide background. However, you get to see such bad presentations
every now and then. When people do so, they compromise the subtlety and contrast of any content on their slides. |
