Jerky Animations in PowerPoint 2010 and 2013
Do your animations appear a little jerky in PowerPoint 2010 or 2013 compared to how they played in PowerPoint 2007?
There could be any number of reasons why the animations may not play smoothly -- you may have too many applications
using resources in the background or your graphics system may not be able to cope up. However, when the same animations
play well on PowerPoint 2007 -- and do not on 2010 and 2013 (sometimes, even on the same computer) -- then this easy
trick may help!

Handmade Slides: Map Pins for PowerPoint - 10
 Have you seen slides that include a cool "map pin" graphic? These are typically placed on a map to show a location – and similarly multiple map pins can be placed to show multiple locations. Do you want to create the same visual experience on your slides to show to your audiences? It's easy with this complete collection of map pins (more than 300 map pins in this collection -- only 10 of these are shown on this page). The map pin graphics are already placed in PowerPoint slides you will download -- just copy the individual pin you want, and then paste the pin within your own slides that already contain a map. Beyond maps, you can also use these map pins like regular push pins so that a picture, shape, or anything else appears as if it has been pushed onto a surface, board, or wall with a pin!

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows
Basic Flowcharts
There are many dedicated programs that only do flowcharts, and even Microsoft creates
another program called Visio that’s more flowchart savvy than mainstream Microsoft
Office programs – even then, we highly recommend that you create your flowcharts
within your Office program such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint! Why do we put forth
such a recommendation? That’s because Microsoft Office programs already have all the
abilities and options you need to create almost any type of flowchart you need.
What do Flowchart Symbols Represent?
The various flowchart symbols available within the Shapes galleries of Microsoft Office applications can represent
different concepts -- on this page, we show you a visual representation of each of these flowchart symbols along with
their names and a brief description.

Reset Toolbars
and Menus
The fact that you can customize options within the menus and toolbars in PowerPoint 2011 for Mac may mean that sometimes you may just get
carried away and make more changes than you intended -- or you made some changes for an important project that's over -- and now you
want the menus and toolbars to go back to their pristine, default state. Whatever your intent may be, PowerPoint's Reset option lets
achieve this default state with a couple of clicks, as we explain on this page.
Working with the Ribbon
The Ribbon made its debut in Office 2011 versions of PowerPoint, and other programs such as
Word and Excel -- as such, it is a new interface component that replaces the Elements Gallery
in Office 2008 for Mac. Although the Ribbon in its default state is sophisticated and easy to use,
you can make it work for you even better by learning some cool options, and by also customizing
it to some extent, as explained in the following steps.
Ribbon Preferences
Working with the Ribbon in PowerPoint 2011 is intuitive to a very large extent -- and
it certainly involves a little more than just learning to minimize and maximize the Ribbon tabs.
In fact, you can customize to the extent of hiding the entire Ribbon altogether -- or changing
the Ribbon tab color from orange and a more muted gray. You can also show or hide group headings
within individual tabs etc.
