A PowerPoint Blog: PowerPoint Basics: Creating PowerPoint Outlines in Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac
Typically, there are three common ways in which you can create slides in PowerPoint. All these three ways can be combined with each other but it is best to start with creating an outline for your presentation in another program. Mac users can create outlines in TextEdit -- in addition you can use Microsoft Word as well. In this tutorial, I'll show how you can use Word 2011 for Mac to create an outline for a PowerPoint presentation .

A PowerPoint Blog: Learn PowerPoint 2008 for Mac: Text Placeholders vs. Text Boxes
After covering the concept of differences between text placeholders and text boxes using Windows versions of PowerPoint, I heard from some Indezine readers who wanted a similar tutorial for Mac versions of PowerPoint. The concept works in exactly the same way on the Mac, with these observations: Aren't text boxes and text placeholders the same? Are they really different? And why should I bother even if they are different? All these are valid questions, and the answers to them form one of the most important foundations in learning to create more structured presentations in PowerPoint.

A PowerPoint Blog: PowerPoint Basics: Creating Outlines in TextEdit on Mac OS X
After covering this subject for Windows users of PowerPoint (See: Create outlines for PowerPoint presentations in Notepad.), I now provide a similar tutorial for Mac users who can get the same options using TextEdit. When you start creating a new presentation, many users just launch PowerPoint and start creating their slides. Many purists say that you should not even launch PowerPoint until you have an outline in place. Several programs can be used to create outlines but TextEdit, a small word processor that has been bundled with every release of Mac OS X is probably the easiest option.
