Davo Sime is the CTO and co-founder of Design Toolbars, an Australia-based company that creates a PowerPoint add-in that provides one-click slide design tools.

Then Davo joined Trenna and the Australia Graphics team in Sydney in 2011 and together, they created thousands of consulting slides over the next 6 years!

We explored differences between formatted and unformatted AutoCorrect entries in our Saving and Sharing AutoCorrect Entries tutorial. While you can use some preset formatted AutoCorrect entries in PowerPoint, you cannot create them in PowerPoint. Also, you cannot use all sorts of formatted content in PowerPoint. While some content with formatted text and dingbat fonts may work, and even this is a big "if", other content such as images, tables, etc. work only in Microsoft Word, and not in PowerPoint. In this tutorial, we will look at both these scenarios.
