Me, using #Microsoft #PowerPoint for the first time: “Hmm, how do I turn on invisibles/formatting marks?”

PowerPoint: “Hahaha no.”

Dennis Austin, the software developer of PowerPoint, died on 1 September at age 76.

I just saw the paywalled Washington Post obituary dated 8 September.

"The program was the digital successor of the overhead projector. It became one of the most ubiquitous and scorned programs of modern office life." But I remember that it really seemed magical when it first came on our screens.

I need fresh ideas for my slide deck.

I’ve one #Powerpoint file for all my talks, organized by topic.

Some love it, especially the list of topics in the sidebar.

Others cringe as much as I do (e.g., because my name and website are on every slide).

How do you organize and present all of your #slides?

What formats, templates, or designs work well?

(Is it safe to assume our slides will never again be on a 4:3 display? Can we finally go #widescreen?)

Anderes Thema, ähnlicher Kontext: Mich hat vor einigen Jahren nachhaltig beeindruckt, dass im Küchenplanungs-Service von #IKEA eben dieses #PowerPoint ganz lässig als #CAD-Ersatz für das Zeichnen und Bemaßen von Zuschnitt-Plänen für Custom-Arbeitsplatten-Layouts genutzt wurde. https://openbiblio.social/@rstockm/111011957443972537

Ich war schon immer der Meinung, dass #powerpoint in vielen Aspekten besser funktioniert als #keynote, etwa im Zeichenbereich.

Die neuen KI-Methoden für Auto-Layouts sind jetzt nochmal ein echter Gamechanger - da kommen _wirklich_ interessante und brauchbare Vorschläge. Etwa inhaltlich passende Symbole für Textblöcke.

Unpopular opinion:

I love #PowerPoint for creating app guides and tutorials 💙

Hello #clever people - I need a bit of #PowerPoint help.

Does anyone know how to set up a #colour palette in PPT that has a larger number of colours than the standard 8-10? Basically I need a colour set of about 28 colours but seem only able to create I think 10 in the normal palette?

Thanks in advance! :)
