One way in which you can use the PowerPoint Designer feature is with pictures on your slides, where you will save immeasurable time arranging, resizing, and adding specific picture layouts. Microsoft's Office intelligent services which provide artificial intelligence to make this happen show ready-made options for you to choose from some amazing options. Even better, did you know that these suggestions also show for pictures you insert via the cool Photo Album feature—you can thus literally create a photo book from hundreds of pictures in mere minutes!

At first, presentation management might seem like taking PowerPoint and other files and putting them on a cloud with a few frills. But there’s another aspect of presentations that comes alive once they are managed in a cloud environment where they can be tracked. Presentations throw off data. Every word and pixel is data. Every time a slide gets used, the data can tell us who used it, and where and how it was used. The data can tie sales presentations, for instance, to deals closed, which means the data could show which slides helped sell the most. All of that data can be captured and analyzed in ways that help make every presentation better.

PowerPoint design is a field of design that's different than the design of brochures, web sites, and even Word documents. It affords opportunities that these other media do not, and it also does not provide some options you may be used to, especially if you are a print designer. So, what if PowerPoint itself showcased these presentations-specific design opportunities or design possibilities for you? You could then choose to apply a possibility with one click, or ignore—it's your decision. Wouldn't that be awesome? PowerPoint Designer is exactly this option.

There are tools available to show websites on PowerPoint slides. You can use that to draw a web browser object on your slide, and then specify the URL to show in there. When you run your slideshow, you will see that website on a given slide. Every time the slide is shown, the website output is rebuilding and displayed again on your television screen or other display. This technique does have a few caveats because of the web-browser technology. So, is there a better way? Yes indeed, and we call this the DataPoint way.

There are a number of sites that provide royalty-free pictures that can be used in your PowerPoint presentations. One such site used to be Microsoft's Office.com site. There are several other sites that provide free pictures. However, none of these resources can match the amazing breadth and variety of picture content you can find at Flickr, a photo-sharing site. Additionally, Flickr makes it easy for you to find pictures that you can legally use in your presentations since it lets you search for pictures within the Creative Common license.
