Powerpoint files don’t transfer well between PCs and Macs, so always save a copy in another file format (we recommend JPEG) when you’ve completed your presentation.
Save formatting time by creating your own theme by selecting the font, colour, and backgrounds of your choice under the ‘Theme’ tab
As a general rule, Sans Serif typefaces are more legible for appropriate for digital text.
Ensure your images are perfectly aligned by selecting the images and going to Arrange > Align or Distribute.
Insert an invisible hyperlink by creating a shape with no fill and no line, then use Ctrl + K (Mac: Command + K) to input the URL.
Avoid going past the last slide of your presentation, which puts it to an abrupt end, duplicate the last slide to remind yourself it’s over
