Animating Faux Backgrounds with PowerPoint Morph
Morph can be used is with slide backgrounds rather than slide objects in the foreground.

Learn PowerPoint 2019 for Windows
Slides Pane
PowerPoint 2019's work area below the Ribbon continues to be tri-paned. These three panes comprise the Slides Pane, the Slide Area, and the Notes Pane. The Slides Pane is the thin strip on the left side of the PowerPoint 2019 interface that contains thumbnails of all your slides.
Quick Access Toolbar
Soon after power users install a new application, they want to customize their menus and toolbars so that their most often used commands are accessible with fewer clicks, or even custom keyboard shortcuts. And even if you are not a power user, you should explore a very useful option that we explain in this tutorial, this will make your tasks easier, and quicker. PowerPoint has no toolbars other than the Quick Access Toolbar. Almost everyone who uses this toolbar just calls it the QAT,
and that's the name we will use for the rest of this tutorial. The QAT's raison d'être is customization, and accessing all your favorite commands in one place. It's important to note that the QAT does not add new commands, it just places your favorite commands in one place.
