A cartogram is a visual that is driven by geography. It explores sizes or distances visually. Cartograms come in various types.

By now, most of us who are not living under a rock have heard about Office 365. But we have also heard about Microsoft Office versions for the desktop, such as the ones for Windows and Mac. Are the desktop versions the same as Office 365? And even if the answer is yes or no, does it matter because many people can't even understand all these new terms that Microsoft is talking about.

Explore the differences and similarities between Microsoft Office 365 and desktop versions of Microsoft Office

Format Task Pane

PowerPoint works with the concept of selection, and then action. And the action typically is to edit whatever you may have selected! For such editing, the Format Task pane in PowerPoint 2016 can be indispensable. The Format Task pane aligns neatly with the right or left side of the PowerPoint interface, and you can now immediately see how your choices affect the selected slide objects. The Format Task pane is often tabbed. This means that you can jump quickly between different elements of your slide object! In many ways thus, the Format Task pane is the single source where different style formatting options are consolidated in one place.

Snap to Grid Settings

Once you make Gridlines visible on your slide in PowerPoint 2016, you may wonder if there's any benefit using the Gridlines other than the obvious benefit of possessing a visual grid that lets you place slide objects? The answer can be both Yes and No. Yes because you may believe that is all that happens on the surface. Moreover, no because unless you explore how the Snap to Grid option works, you will not realize the real benefit. Worse, this incredible option is not active by default!

Working with Snap to Grid

Making gridlines visible on your slides in PowerPoint 2016 is only a good idea if you use the Grid feature to attain some results. If you are serious about using Grids to position slide objects with more precision, you must first visit the options available for changing Grid settings. Once you have played around with the grid settings, you are better equipped and prepared to explore how the Snap to Grid feature can help you accurately position and move slide objects such as pictures, shapes, or anything else you can select and move on a slide!

Change the Unit of Measurement in Windows 10

Essentially, the unit of measurement used by Microsoft Windows 10 is determined by settings in place within the Regional Settings applet within the Control Panel -- choices available are U.S. and Metric -- in this tutorial, we'll show you how you can change the units from U.S. to Metric, or vice versa in Windows 10.

What is the Outline?

An outline within a PowerPoint presentation is all the text content of the presentation that's inserted within any of the text placeholders. Although visuals, multimedia, and other slide objects can play an important role within a presentation, a proper outline is still the main skeleton on which the body of a presentation can be sustained. Without a cohesive outline, everything else is akin to a movie that has the best photography, great music, talented cast but no story to put it all together. So how do you create a structured outline -- and does PowerPoint provide sufficiently robust outlining tools?
