We have already covered the concept of differences between text placeholders and text boxes using PowerPoint 2008 and PowerPoint 2011 on Mac. Now we will explore the same within PowerPoint 2016 for Mac. Let us start with these thoughts: Aren't text boxes and text placeholders the same? Are they really different? And why should anyone bother even if they are different? All these are valid questions, and the answers to them form one of the most important foundations in learning to create more structured presentations in PowerPoint.

Use PowerPoint Online for a while, and you will discover that this web-based version of PowerPoint works similarly to the desktop versions of PowerPoint, although it does have fewer options. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to open a presentation created within PowerPoint Online in your PowerPoint desktop version.

Here’s a quick walkthrough of the PowerPoint 2016 interface, the PowerPoint 2016 interface is quite similar to PowerPoint 2013. PowerPoint 2016 opens with a Presentation Gallery. The Presentation Gallery provides several ways to start your next presentation using a template, a Theme, a recent presentation, a not-so-recent presentation, or even a blank presentation. Once you make choices in this Presentation Gallery, you see the actual PowerPoint interface.

In this issue, we look at creating PowerPoint outlines in many Word versions. We look at Word 2016 for Mac, Word 2010 for Windows, Word 2003 for Windows, and even Microsoft Excel for Windows and Mac. As part of our series on PowerPoint Online, the web-based version of PowerPoint, we explore File menu and Backstage view, Ribbons and Tabs, and the Tell Me option.
PowerPoint 2016 for Windows users can learn to locate their version. This is especially important if multiple versions of PowerPoint are installed on the same system. Finally, do not miss the quotes, press releases, and templates of this week.

Typically, there are three common ways in which you can create slides in PowerPoint. All these three ways can be combined with each other but it is best to start with creating an outline for your presentation in another program. Mac users can create outlines in TextEdit. In addition, you can use Microsoft Word as well. In this tutorial, we’ll show how you can use Word 2008 for Mac to create an outline for a PowerPoint presentation.

Everyone who uses PowerPoint has faced this situation: you know what you want to do with a slide or a slide object, but you don't know where to find the related option in PowerPoint! PowerPoint Online has a feature called Tell Me that will tell you what you need to do! Tell Me is a text field that you can see in PowerPoint Online after the last Tab of the Ribbon.

Are you unable to locate PowerPoint 2016 on your computer? Sometimes, such a question can be embarrassing! Or are there other versions of PowerPoint on your computer — maybe older versions? Yes, we know that this can happen, although it does sound a little strange. However, there are perfectly valid excuses for you to be unable to locate PowerPoint, mainly in scenarios such as these.

Typically, the last thing I would want to do is create my presentation outline in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel. In one of my training sessions, I was showing participants how they could create presentation outlines for PowerPoint in Notepad or Microsoft Word — and one of the attendees wanted to know how he could create an outline in Excel! To understand why anyone would want to create an outline in Excel, you probably need to be an Excel junkie — but rather than go and discuss what an Excel junkie means, I’ll show you how an outline can indeed be created in Excel — this works on all versions of Excel for Windows and Mac OS X.

The Ribbon in PowerPoint Online is the long strip comprising tabs with buttons across the top of the main window within the PowerPoint interface. The Ribbon contains almost all the commands you need to work with your slides and is designed in a way that helps you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task.

We already showed you how you can create outlines for your PowerPoint presentation in Notepad (Microsoft Windows) and TextEdit (Mac OS X). We still maintain that it’s best you use either of these text editors but if you already created a structure for your presentation in Microsoft Word (or if your boss or colleague sent you one), it makes no sense to abandon it for a text editor. Follow these steps to create an outline for your PowerPoint presentation using Microsoft Word 2003 for Windows.

Many PowerPoint users may not remember that PowerPoint's pattern fills had transparency options, so we decided to bring this ghost back from the dead, and were surprised to learn that the ghost is not dead yet. Some of you know that my friend, Ellen Finkelstein has been running the amazing Outstanding Presentations Workshop series of webinars each year--this year, one of the presenters in Joseph Ganci. Read what he will speak about. Continuing our series on the Presentation Summit speakers, we bring you the final batch of interviews: this week we bring you Steve Rindsberg, Sam Horn, and Lia Barnakova. We also look at creating outlines for PowerPoint in Word 2016, Word 2013, Word 2011, and Word 2007. For PowerPoint Online users, we explore renaming files and sharing your PowerPoint presentations on social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Finally, do not miss the quotes, press releases, and templates of this week.

Outlines are stories that contain sequential structures of any text content that you use in a presentation. In many respects, an outline is more like a script for a movie production than a bunch of slides — however, it does form an ideal starting point for a bunch of slides! PowerPoint can import outlines created in many applications and we have already shown you how you can create outlines for PowerPoint presentations in Word 2003 and Word 2007. In this tutorial, we’ll explore the procedure of creating a structured outline in Word 2010.

The Backstage view in PowerPoint Online provides access to the File menu and some other options. However, don’t expect the Backstage view within PowerPoint Online to be as full featured, compared to the Backstage view in PowerPoint’s desktop versions—in fact, there’s almost no feature to control interface elements. The options here mainly accomplish basic tasks such as sharing, saving, downloading, etc.
