2. Designer helps you get your point
across
PowerPoint Designer suggests professional designs for your
presentation, based on the content in your slides.
Designer is a subscription-only feature. If you have an Office
365 subscription, the next slide shows you how it works in a
new presentation.
3. How to use PowerPoint Designer
How it works:
1 Start a new presentation by going to File > New > Blank
Presentation.
2 On the very first slide, add a picture: Go to Insert > Pictures or
Insert > Online Pictures and choose the picture.
Hint: You need to be online when you add the picture.
3 When PowerPoint asks your permission to get design ideas,
select Let's Go.
4 Choose a design you like from the Design Ideas task pane.
4. Morph
Morph makes smooth animations and object movements in your
presentation. You use two similar slides to perform the
animation, but it looks to your audience like the action happens
on one slide.
Play the video on the right to see a quick example.
Morph is a subscription-only feature. If you have an Office 365
subscription, you can try it yourself with the steps on the next
slide.
5. Setting up Morph
Try it yourself with these two simple “planets”:
1 Duplicate this slide: Right-click the
slide thumbnail and select
Duplicate Slide.
2 In the second of these two identical
slides, change the shapes on the
right in some way (move, resize,
change color), then go to
Transitions > Morph.
3 Return to the first of the two slides
and press Slide Show button and then
select Play to see your circle morph!
Hint: Effect Options gives you even more
options for Morph.
6. Working together in real time
When you share your presentation with others, you’ll see them
working with you at the same time.
How it works:
1 Select Share from above the ribbon,
or by using short-key Alt-ZS, to invite
people to work with you (You can
save to the cloud at this point.)
2 When other people are in the presentation,
a marker shows who is on which slide…
3 …and the part of the slide they're
editing.
7. You’re an expert with Tell Me
The Tell Me box finds the right command when you need it,
so you can save time and focus on your work.
Try it:
1 Select the Robot picture on the right.
2 Type animation in the Tell Me box, and then
choose Add Animation.
3 Choose an animation effect,
like Zoom, and watch
what happens.
SELECT ME
8. Explore without leaving your slides
Smart Lookup brings research directly in to PowerPoint.
Try it:
1 Right-click in the word office in the
following phrase: office furniture
2 Choose Smart Lookup, and notice that
results are contextual for that phrase, not
Microsoft Office apps.
3 Just for fun, try Smart Lookup again by
right-clicking in the word Office in Step 2.
