Slide size widescreen dimensions

Widescreen slide size in PowerPoint is 13.333 inches wide by 7.5 inches high, a 16:9 aspect ratio, compared with Standard 4:3 at 10 by 7.5 inches.

Mark as Final effect

Mark as Final sets the presentation to read-only and displays a Marked as Final notice, but it does not encrypt or password-protect the file, so anyone can remove the mark.

Inspect Document purpose

Inspect Document scans the file for comments, speaker notes, document properties, personal information, and hidden content, and lets you remove selected items before sharing.

Embed fonts option location

The Embed fonts in the file option is under File > Options > Save; choose Embed only the characters used to reduce file size or Embed all characters for full editing.

Compatibility Checker function

Compatibility Checker identifies features that are not supported in PowerPoint 97-2003 (.ppt) format, such as certain SmartArt or effects, so you can decide whether to save in that format.

AutoRecover default interval

AutoRecover saves a recovery copy at an interval set in File > Options > Save; the default is 10 minutes, and the interval can be reduced to as low as 1 minute.

Duplicate slide shortcut

Ctrl+Shift+M duplicates the selected slide, while Ctrl+M inserts a new blank slide after the current one using the same layout.

Reuse Slides keep formatting

In the Reuse Slides pane, checking Keep source formatting retains the original theme and design of inserted slides; leaving it unchecked applies the destination presentation's theme.

Slide Master purpose

Slide Master stores theme fonts, colors, background, and placeholder positions for the master and its layouts; edits there apply to all slides using those layouts.

Reset slide command

Home > Reset returns placeholders on the selected slide to the position, size, and formatting defined by its layout, without deleting any text or objects.

Hide Slide behavior

A hidden slide remains in the presentation and is visible in the editing view, but it is skipped during a slide show unless you right-click and choose Go to Slide.

Custom slide show

A custom show is a named, ordered subset of slides within a presentation; create it under Slide Show > Custom Slide Show and present it without rearranging the deck.

Sections in PowerPoint

Sections group slides in the thumbnail pane for navigation and collapsing; adding, renaming, moving, or removing a section does not delete the slides it contains.

Shrink text on overflow

The AutoFit option Shrink Text on Overflow reduces font size automatically when text exceeds its placeholder; Stop Fitting Text disables this behavior and lets text overflow.

Format Painter double-click

Clicking Format Painter once applies copied formatting to one object; double-clicking keeps it active for multiple objects until you press Esc or click the button again.

Merge Shapes Subtract

Subtract removes the overlapping area of selected shapes from the first-selected shape, leaving the non-overlapping portion of that base shape.

Remove Background tool

Picture Format > Remove Background marks areas to keep or remove automatically; use Mark Areas to Keep and Mark Areas to Remove to refine, then click Keep Changes.

Alt text decorative marking

Marking an image as decorative tells screen readers to skip it; use this only when the image conveys no information, otherwise provide concise descriptive alt text.

Compress Pictures target output

Compress Pictures offers target outputs such as Print at 220 ppi, Screen at 150 ppi, and Email at 96 ppi; lower ppi reduces file size but may reduce image quality.

Picture crop to shape

Picture Format > Crop > Crop to Shape fits the image into a selected shape; the picture is masked, not distorted, and can be reset with Crop > Fit or Fill.

Table style options

Table Design > Table Style Options toggles Header Row, Total Row, Banded Rows, First Column, Last Column, and Banded Columns; enabling banding applies alternating shading.

Edit chart data

Chart Design > Edit Data opens the embedded Excel workbook where the chart's values and categories are stored; changes there update the chart immediately.

SmartArt Text Pane

The SmartArt Text Pane lets you type and edit diagram text; use Promote and Demote to change outline levels, which restructures the SmartArt graphic.

Insert 3D model formats

PowerPoint inserts 3D models in .glb, .fbx, .obj, .3mf, or .ply format from a device or online sources, and provides 3D Model Views to capture camera angles.

Audio start options

Audio Start options are In Click Sequence, Automatically, and When Clicked On; Play in Background continues audio across slides, and Hide During Show hides the icon.

Video poster frame

A poster frame is the still image shown before a video plays; set it with Video Format > Poster Frame > Current Frame or Image, or reset it to the default.

Screen recording insertion

Insert > Screen Recording captures a selected screen region with optional audio and pointer, then inserts the recording as a video object on the current slide.

Morph transition use

Morph animates movement between slides by matching identical objects; duplicating a slide, moving objects, and applying Morph creates smooth object motion.

Animation start settings

Animation Start options are On Click, With Previous, and After Previous; After Previous with a Delay chains effects automatically without user clicks.

Animation trigger

A trigger starts an animation when a specified object is clicked rather than on a slide click; set it via Animation Pane > Trigger > On Click of.

Animation Painter

Animation Painter copies animation settings from a selected object to another object; double-click it to apply the same animation to multiple objects until Esc.

Motion path reverse direction

In Effect Options for a motion path, Reverse Path Direction flips the path so the object travels the opposite way; Auto-reverse returns the object to its start point.
