We already explored what Color Models are, and we then looked at the RGB color model that uses three primary colors: Red, Green, and Blue to mix and create almost 16 million colors. All RGB colors have values for all the three colors that you mix: R, G, and B. Assuming someone has provided you with an RGB value, and asked you to add a rectangle of that color to a slide, then how do you proceed within PowerPoint?

PowerPoint provides an option to fill any shape with a solid fill color easily. But what if you want a specific color to be filled? Maybe you need to use specific colors that are part of your company's corporate identity. In that case, you will need to get an RGB value of that color. So what is RGB?

When you land the job of creating or re-branding a large or even mega-size company’s identity there’s usually a long list of people involved on both the client and agency side of the business and everyone wants their say on how things should look. With over 25 years in this business, I can tell you that the art, design, and identity all gets done and signed-off on by the client before the presentation builder even gets a chance to comment about building functionality to what just got dumped on his/her lap. Only the savviest organizations work the function and design simultaneously, most don’t, it’s a result of how the majority design, ad agency, and branding firms are structured and how project managers and design teams operate together. The truth is even some of the larger firms farm out their template building at the very end of the process.

This view displays one slide at a time in the Slide Area, and is used mainly for editing and creating slides, and shows PowerPoint's typical tri-pane interface that includes the Slides Pane, the Slide Area, and the Notes Pane.

Do you know whether your organization is using its best digital assets to increase conversions and drive sales? And even if you are, are relevant stakeholders—like members of the sales team, executives, and financiers—able to easily retrieve those assets? Or do they usually end up having to spend several minutes—or even longer—searching for the most impactful content?

Once you have these R, G, and B values, you can easily apply that color within PowerPoint. For now, let us imagine that you have the following RGB color values that you need to fill your rectangle with.

Among the various views available in PowerPoint 2016 for Mac to play and edit your presentations, we have already covered both Normal view and Outline view.

Any edits made will influence one or more slides, depending upon your selection.

Editing any slide object works the same way, irrespective of whether you are editing a picture, a chart, some SmartArt, or even text. You select the object you want to edit and change some attributes. You then get to see your changes, and then you either undo your changes if you are not too happy with them or just accept them. You can then start working with another object! What if you could see/preview how an actual change will look on the slide object before you decide to accept or decline that change? PowerPoint 2016’s Live Preview allows you to do just that.

The situation is familiar: you or someone else uses a non-standard font (not a PowerPoint safe font) in your presentation. You then open this same presentation on another computer, and PowerPoint uses another font to display the same text. Why does it do so? The reason is simple enough: the font originally used is not available on the other system. The end user has no idea that PowerPoint substituted one font with another. There is no information provided at all. The font that is used as a substitute cannot be identified. If you have 500 fonts on your system, there’s no way to understand why PowerPoint used a certain font as a substitute.

Even though the Outline view is new for PowerPoint 2016 for Mac, it's not absolutely new since you always had access to your presentation's text outline through the Slides/Outline Pane on the left side of the PowerPoint interface. What's changed though is that you no longer need to switch tabs within the Pane, as you would do in PowerPoint 2011. Now you just access the outline within a new view! The Outline view displays all the text contained within the title and text placeholders of your slides.
