PowerPoint 2013 Interface

Here's a quick walkthrough of the PowerPoint 2013 interface -- the PowerPoint 2013 interface is quite similar, yet somewhat different than the interface of PowerPoint 2010. The biggest change is that PowerPoint 2013's interface is primed for use also on tablets, touch-screens, and phones (other than conventional desktops). Thus, you can swipe and tap your way through a presentation -- and also make several edits without the need of a cursor.

Explore a quick walkthrough of the PowerPoint 2013 interface that reveals some new features.

These segment shapes are placed within a circle and are very useful and easy to use. A segment circle is like a pizza that is divided into pie-shaped slices, with each slice meant to hold a short label, picture, texture, or even an icon. Yes, each of these pizza slices is what we would call a segment. As the count climbs from one to eight, the diagram naturally shifts from a single emphasis shape to a wheel made of progressively narrower wedges, useful for representing anywhere from a single highlighted idea to an eight-part cycle or structure.

These segmented circle shapes can be used in your slides to explain a concept or an idea.

  

Here's another slide set of the People Chain silhouette series. You get a People Pyramid silhouette graphic in addition to another variation of a People Chain line -- this line has alternating persons in larger and smaller sizes. This is perfect to use in scenarios where teams sourced from different organization levels are involved. You can also use these silhouette graphics in presenting scenarios where you need to create slides related to the strength of unity and diversity, multi-racial staff, international groups, etc. Once you have downloaded the sample presentation, all you have to do is copy the silhouette graphics and paste them in your slides.

Download and use these silhouette graphics in your slides.
