PowerPoint Insecurities
I read an article in a large, mainstream publication about
how PowerPoint may be the enemy, and the first thing that crossed
my mind was how most people don't like to discuss their insecurities.
As human beings, we like to believe we are perfect and always
look out for excuses that may cover our mistakes. That makes
me think about my own insecurities, and how insecure I can feel
about a piece of paper? Read

Learn PowerPoint: What is Office Mobile and its PowerPoint
version?
Microsoft has had some sort of Office applications built in
within its Windows based platform for the phone since its inception.
The earliest phone operating systems from Microsoft have had
Outlook integration built in seamlessly -- but other apps like
mobile versions of Word and Excel have also been available since
a long time. The mobile version of PowerPoint was included for
the first time as part of the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system
released in May 2005 -- that version was primarily a PowerPoint
viewer with no editing capabilities. Learn

Learn PowerPoint 2007: Charting
Picture Fills for Chart Data Series: Did you
happen to see a chart that spoke of fruit exports and each column
of the chart was filled with pictures of a particular fruit type
rather than the conventional solid color fills or geometric patterns?
For instance, if you wanted to show how the export of grapes
has increased over the years, your column chart would have all
columns filled with pictures of grapes stacked one over the other?
The good thing is that PowerPoint 2007 allows you to do just
that within your charts -- as long as you know which options
you need to change -- and that's explained in this tutorial! Learn

Change Major Unit of Y Axis in Charts: The
significance of any chart lies in its ability to visually represent
complex data as a trend that an audience can easily grasp. So
if you create a complex chart with too much detail, you might
be ironically creating confusion out of simplicity -- even if
you are not aware that you are doing this! One of the easiest
ways in which you can make your chart look simpler and less intimidating
is by using fewer major units in the Y axis -- and if that sounds
like something that's difficult for you to understand, then stop
worrying and start following this easy tutorial.Learn

Changing Fonts and Other Text Options of Charts:
Although charts are a visual medium, they still contain plenty
of text in the form of data labels, titles, legend, axis labels,
etc. And while PowerPoint 2007 does make it simpler to access
text formatting options than in previous PowerPoint versions,
there's still some learning involved. That sort of learning is
exactly what this tutorial aims to provide. Learn
