Guidelines: Using Excel and PowerPoint Together
 If any two programs were meant to work together in the
Microsoft Office suite, they have to be Excel and PowerPoint. Almost everyone who works with Excel has to use PowerPoint to present data
nd charts to an audience, or even create their business reports in PowerPoint. On the other hand, all PowerPoint charts are essentially
created by Excel, even if many of you may not be aware of this fact.

 PowerPoint 2013 on Touch
Tutorials on working with touch specific options while using Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 on a device such as Microsoft Surface.
Text Floatie
 On a touch device such as Micosoft's
Surface tablets, you may not have access to a regular keyboard and mouse. Everything happens with a tap or a slide or some other gesture.
Unlike the desktop versions of Office programs, the touch versions have a floatie -- this is a floating toolbar that contains options that
are relevant to the tapped object. There are various floatie iterations -- the one you see is dependent on the tapped slide object. Other than
the Shape floatie and the Picture floatie, there's also the Text floatie that we explore in this tutorial. Tap on any selected text to see the
Text floatie.

Reset Slide
You might have come across slides that look plainly bad. One look at such a slide , and it really doesn't matter whether the content is great or not.
You just feel like looking away from it! Also, some visually loud slides can ensure that audiences concentrate more on the horrors presented by the
look of the slide rather than the content. You might end up with such slides even with no fault of yours, because someone else designed them for you?

Default Behaviors for Action Buttons
Once you place Action Buttons on your slide in PowerPoint 2013, you can make them do all sorts of actions when clicked. What
sets Action Buttons apart from other shape types in PowerPoint is the iconography they contain. For most users, an icon such as
a leftwards arrow indicates moving to the previous slide and a rightwards arrow does indicate progressing to the next slide.
Another advantage of these icon-equipped Action Buttons is that they are language independent, and can work very well in
multi-language and international presentations. In this tutorial you are going to explore the different types of Action Buttons,
and their default behaviors.
Hyperlinks for Action Buttons
Just inserting Action Buttons on your slide is not sufficient -- you need to apply hyperlinks to them so that they have some function.
You have already learnt how to insert Action Buttons. In this tutorial we'll learn more detailed techniques on working with Action Buttons.
Each Action Button has a default action associated -- this typically is a hyperlink to some other slide in your presentation. You can change
this link, or even add another link such as a link to your web site, another document, and more. In this tutorial, you will learn how to add
or change the hyperlinks for Action Buttons.
Drawing Lines
PowerPoint is primarily considered a slide program within which you can bring in text, graphics, multimedia, animation, etc. to deliver your
message or story. Working with PowerPoint, you will discover an amazing repertoire of tools that you can use to create awesome slides. Beyond
being a tool to create slides, PowerPoint is also a great drawing program with tools and options that rival top end graphic programs. This
introductory tutorial shows you how to draw a simple line on the slide.
