Motion Path Animations
The three basic animation types in PowerPoint: entrance, emphasis, and exit animations are something we have already explored.
The fourth animation type is called Motion Path animations, and this is something more advanced in nature than the basic animation
types explored so far. Motion Path animations determine the route (path) and the direction in which the animated slide object moves
across or around on the slide. For example, you can move a slide object up, down, right, or left, on a preset or created motion
path, or possibly anywhere you want.
Export Option in Backstage View
PowerPoint's export options come into play after you have created your slide decks, and are looking for ways to share your slides
with others in the most effective way possible. PowerPoint allows you to save your presentation in different forms, that allows you
to view and share your slides on almost any device. Did you know you can create a PDF from your presentation, or export all slides to
a video? If you need an old-fashioned way to share, you can burn your slides to a CD. You can also create Word document handouts.
Finally, PowerPoint lets you save in so many other file formats.
Getting Started with Motion Path Animations
Motion Path animations in PowerPoint enable you to make any slide object move within or outside the slide, and also make it move
anywhere within the slide in a particular path! PowerPoint provides dozens of Motion Path presets, in every shape that you can
imagine. To add a Motion Path animation to any object on a PowerPoint slide, follow these steps.

Account Option in Backstage View
In PowerPoint 2013, and in other Office 2013 programs, you typically need to sign in to a Microsoft Account so that you can access
saved settings, customizations, and even some files off the cloud. You typically do this by managing your Account, right inside
PowerPoint or another Office 2013 program such as Word and Excel. The Account tab in Backstage view allows you to sign in to your
Microsoft Account, and automatically connect to your OneDrive account. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to access PowerPoint 2013’s
Account Management options.

Change Slide Layout
A PowerPoint presentation comprises a bunch of slides and we like to think of these slides as akin to a blank canvas. You add
content to the slides in almost the same way as you use brushes to create strokes of paint to color a canvas. However unlike a
canvas, in PowerPoint, you don't have a non-structured freedom, and this can be good in many ways. Primarily, PowerPoint
categorizes each slide type into one of its prescribed layouts.
