| Smarter Slides, Faster |
| |
| |
| This issue is all about making your slides work harder for you — from powerful add-ins to simple built-in skills. We start with an in-depth conversation about ToolsToo Pro v12 with Gil Segal, exploring how thoughtful automation can save time and elevate design precision in PowerPoint. Then we zoom in on a
foundational skill: inserting new slides in Microsoft 365, the building block of any presentation. Together, these pieces remind us that great slide decks aren’t just about ideas — they’re about using the right tools and mastering the basics so your workflow stays smooth and your message stays strong. |

| Do Bullet Points Really Work? |
| |
 |
| |
For some time now, Nolan Haims has been working with a group of researchers and scientists on a study to find out just how effective bullet points and other forms of text are on slides. And now, you can help him by taking part in a quick 10-minute experiment.
It's a chance to contribute to meaningful research on what really makes
presentations work.
As a thank-you, you’ll receive a free sample pack of The Better Deck Deck (his slide design tool) and a special discount on any full version.
If you’ve ever asked why so many presentations miss the mark, here’s your opportunity to help make slides—and communication—maybe just a little bit better. |

When I Started Storytelling: by Margot Leitman
"I can honestly say that when I started storytelling—speaking openly about my experiences—my life changed for the better. I started having sincere relationships with people right away, instead of hiding behind bravado or small talk."

| Inserting a New Slide in PowerPoint 365 for Windows |
| |
 |
| |
| Think of your PowerPoint presentation like a box of donuts. Each slide is a donut — some have sprinkles, some are filled with jelly, and some are just plain (but still important). Now, when you want to add another delicious donut (ahem, slide), PowerPoint gives you more than one way to do it — just like a bakery gives you more than one flavor! The
cool part? There’s no one right way to add a slide — just pick the one that works best for you. |
