So how do you install this app on your iOS device?

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Add and Rename Slide Masters
The Slide Master is a very important part of your presentation that influences the appearance of everything you see on the slide -- from the slide background to the fonts used for text. All slides in your presentation may have different layouts -- and each of these layouts may have different placeholder arrangements. However, they all share a common look -- that look is provided by the Slide Master. Every presentation has at least one Slide Master. However, if you constantly keep adding slides from other presentations, you may have inadvertently added more Slide Masters to your presentation. So how do you know how many Slide Masters your presentation contains? And how do you add another one? In fact, why do you need another Slide Master at all?
Learn how to add and rename Slide Masters.

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Add Your Logo or Graphic to the Slide Master
You may have observed an omnipresent company logo on many slides in a presentation -- and that raises a question: do you really need to have a company logo on all your slides? First, it takes a fair amount of space. Secondly, the audience knows which company the speaker belongs to since that information is almost always placed on the first slide. Also speakers do introduce themselves and their companies -- so, why do all slides need that extra branding? All these questions are fair, and there are equally honest answers for them. You should certainly add a company logo to your first slide, and then place a more subtle or watermarked logo on the rest of the slides -- or even no logo at all.
Learn how to add a logo or another graphic to the Slide Master in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac.

Handmade Slides: Using Scanned Pictures
Using pictures in your slides does not mean that you are limited to using photographs from stock photo houses. You can certainly use your own camera -- either a digital camera or even the camera built within your phone to source your own pictures. You can also look at some unconventional sources, such as a scanner. A scanner? Yes, that's a device that several of us have not used for many years now -- but if you have one of these devices attached to your computer, do consider it as a source of visual content.
Explore how a scanner can be put to good use to add interest to your slides.
