Learn PowerPoint 2016 for Windows
Audio Styles
When you select an audio clip in PowerPoint 2016, you will see two extra contextual tabs on the Ribbon. One of these tabs is the Audio Tool
Playback tab that provides options to configure properties that define how your inserted audio will play: whether it will play automatically, or
will it play audio across slides? Let's assume that you want your audio to play as a background score across multiple slides. Typically you would
have to make four separate choices, but PowerPoint 2016's Audio Styles feature lets you automatically apply these four settings at once!
Add Bookmarks for Audio Clips
One of the very important abilities in PowerPoint 2016 lets you play your audio files from a certain point within the clip? Bookmarks in
PowerPoint are similar to the conventional bookmarks you place within the pages of a book you read. In the same way that you can easily
access a particular page with the help of a bookmark, the Bookmark option within an audio clip becomes an indicator of the position you want
to play the clip from.
Remove Bookmarks from Audio Clips
Once you add Bookmarks to an audio clip, you may want to edit or remove one or more Bookmarks altogether. In PowerPoint, you can't edit a
Bookmark. For example, you cannot change the time position of your Bookmark from 30 seconds to 28 seconds. To achieve this change, you have
to delete the earlier Bookmark, and then add a new Bookmark on the time position that you want.
Save and Save As Options in Backstage View
When you click the File menu and access Backstage view in PowerPoint 2016, you see several options. In this tutorial, we explore two of these
options: Save and Save As.
Fade Effect for Audio Clips
Insert an audio file within your PowerPoint slide, and choose to play it either with a click or set it to play automatically. Whichever
option you choose, some files can sound loud and unexpected! Have you not experienced the sudden scare or shock when a shrill voice interrupts
an almost silent environment? Rather than shake the soul of your audiences, you can use PowerPoint's fade options to add a gradual increase in
the volume of your audio files. PowerPoint provides both Fade In and Fade Out effects that you can add to the beginning and end of your audio
clips. These fade options make your audio clips sound smoother and more subtle.

Learn Microsoft Windows
Windows 10 Creators Upgrade
Did you know that a new Office 365 feature requires the Windows 10 Creators Upgrade? Why? That’s because this new feature that lets you add
3D models in Office files such as PowerPoint presentations uses a feature set that’s installed as part of the Windows 10 Creators Upgrade.
This is the same feature that lives within the Paint 3D app that comes as part of the Creators Upgrade.
