Color as a solid swatch may be an absolute value such as red, blue, green, yellow, etc. but to take a picture and then decide a color for that picture is an objective task! Can you just allot one color for a picture of a garden that shows a blue sky, green meadows, and multi-colored flowers? Probably not. Or maybe, you can just choose green as a dominant color in that case! Whatever choice you make, there will be times when you need a picture that has a predominant red value or a primary grey value, or a foremost value of some other color. Fortunately, Bing’s Image Search has some great filters that let you percolate your search results to any color!

And to you, this may look like an activity that's simple, but behind this simple task, there are options you may not be aware of. You can link to a picture rather than insert one. This means that if you make changes to your original picture, PowerPoint will update its copy on the slide!

You may have heard—30 million PowerPoint presentations are created daily. Everyone quotes that figure! And the amazing part is not that 30 million is a big number. What I find more interesting than just the number is the fact that this big figure was first mentioned almost seventeen years ago.

If you have a presentation with a large Section, containing many slides, then you may find that this one Section makes it difficult to see all the other remaining Sections. This is because these many slides cover up so much screen real estate making it difficult for you to see other stuff, such as slides in other Sections. And if you want to drag a slide from one Section to another, you may be at a loss to comprehend what you will end up with.

In a presentation, both pictures and words are important, and they both play complementary roles. If you had to choose just one of them; then seeing is a much more important part of presenting.

Text and speaking are important too, but you can be more effectively heard and remembered if your content includes both text and pictures.

When business people hear “Let’s schedule a meeting,” they react the same as they would when they hear “Let’s schedule a root canal.” Meetings have long been—and continue to be—the Bermuda Triangle of business. In 2004, Patrick Lencioni offered his advice to make meetings more productive in his bestselling book, Death by Meeting. This week, conflict-resolution mediator Priya Parker will publish her advice in The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters.
