Imagine that you have a long numbered list that forms the content within your PowerPoint slide. Now, it is not uncommon for slides to have numbered lists that comprise twenty lines, and that is singularly unfortunate because even if members of your audience have perfect eyesight, they won't be able to read the teeny-weeny sized text!

Three different waves of change are merging to profoundly affect how corporations operate. The first is the flood of Millennials into the workforce, and how that generation consumes media and technology. The second is decentralization of corporate hierarchy. The third is the arrival of artificial intelligence, or AI.
Though seemingly disparate, these three elements are converging like different cold and warm fronts to combine into the perfect storm. Presentation management will help your company navigate that storm.

Every presentation that your present is critical! One reason for this is because every time you present, you are standing with your name and reputation behind this presentation. Moreover, you could not be aware of the potential benefits or losses that this presentation could bring to you. In our case, we’ve created a presentation that managed to raise 82 million leva (40+ million euro) for the Gradus IPO. Well, if this is not critical... Our team had the privilege to be invited to work on this project. We decided to share with you some of the tricks which we used while creating the presentation. But just before we start, we should probably inform you how big this IPO was. Let’s just say it’s the biggest one in Bulgaria for the last 10 years and the second biggest in the whole history. It was only surpassed by the FiBank IPO which raised around 107 million leva (50+ million euro) back in 2007.

PowerPoint add-ins help in adding new capabilities that can polish your presentation in many ways. But when the time comes to uninstall these add-ins for whatsoever reason, you might be surprised to find their menu customizations, such as buttons that represent add-in features still exist! Click those menu extensions and nothing may happen, but these menu options are still there! In another scenario, you may have customized your PowerPoint menus and toolbars to a large extent. Now, you want to restore everything to a pristine state, almost like how the interface looked when you first installed PowerPoint. In either case, it is possible to lose all these customizations. The key to this solution lies in PCB files.

Many users are familiar with keyboard shortcuts for PowerPoint 2016, yet there are no real shortcuts for tasks users need to perform all the time. This includes changing PowerPoint’s views or even aligning or reordering slide objects. Thankfully, there are many keyboard sequences that work for these tasks. Most sequences entail that you press two buttons, and then press a third button after a moment. So if the keyboard sequence is listed as Alt+S > H, then you must press the Alt and S keys together, let go those two keys and then press the H key.
