Irregular Shapes for PowerPoint: 08

To make your slides look more pleasing and aesthetic, you must add a personal touch. Using geometric shapes on your slides provides an organized look to your slides, but for that personal touch, your slides can use shapes such as these, that are irregular and organic. What if you could make all shape segments in your slides curved, slanted, and natural looking - as if they are hand-drawn? Won't that look more organic? If you agree, then you will certainly love these new irregular shapes for PowerPoint.

Download and use these shapes in your slides

Adobe Presenter: Create PDFs containing Animation and Multimedia

Very few people are aware that Adobe's PDF files actually support movement and multimedia! Yes, you can have animations and transitions within PDFs, and also these PDFs can contain audio and video files. So why do the PDFs typically created from within PowerPoint using PowerPoint's built-in PDF output -- or even created using Adobe's Acrobat Pro program not contain these niceties? Was that a little confusing? Let's make this easier. Imagine you have a PowerPoint presentation that has some animation and an embedded video clip. Convert that to a PDF and all the movement and multimedia is lost! The solution is not very obvious, but Adobe creates a PowerPoint add-in called Adobe Presenter -- this lets you directly publish your presentation into a PDF with all the movement and multimedia preserved.

Adobe Presenter: Slide Manager

For those of you who are not familiar with Adobe Presenter, this is a PowerPoint add-in that lets you create eLearning content within PowerPoint. The Slide Manager option in Adobe Presenter allows you to view and adjust your individual PowerPoint slide properties. The information provided by Slide Manager is more detailed than what you can access within the PowerPoint interface. For example, you can see a thumbnail of each slide -- next to each thumbnail, you'll find details about Slide Title, Presenter Information, Navigation Name, Navigation Options, Slide Advance Behavior, Lock Slide Information, and Multimedia Information.

Comparing and Merging Presentations
If you are working on a presentation with your clients, or even a co-worker -- then you might end up in a situation where you both did not work on the same copy, one after the other. Instead, you worked on two different copies. These copies contain changes done by you both -- some similar and some different. Now you need to compare and merge these copies into a single, cohesive file without losing anything at all! Yes, you can manually compare side by side in PowerPoint 2013 -- this option works great if there are very few changes. For anything more involved, you will want to use the Compare feature which was introduced in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows. This feature combines two presentations provided by you, and then shows you the differences between them. You can then decide which changes to include, or discard within the final version of your presentation.
