Mini Toolbar
Slide designers love making quick edits to their slide objects! Impressive slides, though, are created painstakingly—and this can
be a slow process. Yes, both these observations seem to contradict each other! Yet, you can take your time playing around
with different fill options to make slides look awesome, and then quickly make umpteen changes to modify the appearance of text.
It helps to know that PowerPoint 2019 also includes the Mini Toolbar, a floating toolbar that spawns right next to the cursor,
and it is also available instantly with a right-click!

Format Task Panes
PowerPoint works with the concept of selection, and then action. And the action typically is to edit whatever you may have
selected! For such editing, the Format Task pane in PowerPoint 365 for Windows can be indispensable. The Format Task pane
aligns neatly with the right or left side of the PowerPoint interface, and you can now immediately see how your choices affect
the selected slide objects. The Format Task pane is often tabbed. This means that you can jump quickly between different elements
of your slide object! In many ways thus, the Format Task pane is the single source where different style formatting options are
consolidated in one place.

Slide designers love making quick edits to their slide objects! Impressive slides, though, are created painstakingly—and this can
be a slow process. Yes, both these observations seem to contradict each other! Yet, you can take your time playing around with
different fill options to make slides look awesome, and then quickly make umpteen changes to modify the appearance of text. So
you spend more time doing some tasks and save time doing others. PowerPoint 365 for Windows does provide most editing options to
make these alterations within the Ribbon tabs, and you can also populate your Quick Access Toolbar with frequently used commands.
Yet, all these tasks involve moving your cursor to the Ribbon, located above the Slide Area and back continuously. While this
movement may not result in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, it helps to know that PowerPoint 365 also includes the Mini Toolbar, a floating
toolbar that spawns right next to the cursor, and it is also available instantly with a right-click!
