Office for Mac 2011: PowerPoint Wednesday, November 17th, 2010 As with Excel, the number of slideshow and presentation applications are few. On the Mac side, there are basically only two: PowerPoint and Keynote. As I stated in the other Office for Mac 2011 reviews, I am not the biggest Office user. I prefer to try to avoid it, even at work. I tend to do things using the simplest mechanism I know, and most of the time that is creating a custom webpage to do things that I need to accomplish. However, for presentations it is much easier to use either Keynote or PowerPoint.
And if you have a choice between PowerPoint versions, I would recommend PowerPoint for Mac 2011. PowerPoint 2008 was not intuitive. What I mean by this is that the application opens to a blank presentation and finding where in the world to change the bland white to a theme is beyond me. Yes, I know you can change the color pattern for the presentation in the toolbox, and you can change the background color to one of 12 choices, but this is not how most people want to operate.
Mar 22, 2013. Powerpoint for Mac 2011, in the last few months, the slideshow has. So please set the ribbon to Presenter View and I hope the crashing will. Sketchbook for mac crack.
After a bit of searching, I did manage to find that you can add a theme by clicking on the ‘Slide Themes’ tab at the top, but it is not intuitive to find within the menus. PowerPoint for Mac 2011 changes all this. When you first open PowerPoint, you are presented with 57 different choices for potential templates. You can take any one of these templates and modify it to your liking; however, you are given a choice. This makes it much easier to see if a color scheme is already set that will match the topic of your presentation. Once you click on a theme you want to use, you are given a set of options on the right side. You get a preview of the title slide, you can choose the color scheme, fonts, and even the slide size.
The options within the slide size are ‘Standard (4:3)’, ‘Widescreen (16:9)’ and ‘Widescreen (16:10)’. The ability to choose which slide size you want allows the user to tailor the presentation to the size of screen. Once you change the screen size option, the preview automatically adjusts to give you a preview of what it will look like. This is a nice addition to accommodate the differences in monitors. Another new feature that PowerPoint for Mac 2011 incorporates is the ability to recolor pictures. A savvy user might ask, why would anybody want to recolor an image within PowerPoint? Why not just load up an image editor?
While those are very good questions, you do have to remember the target market. A less-than-experienced user may not want to have to open a heavy editor like Photoshop just to adjust the color of an image. Sure it can be done in iPhoto, but do you really want a CEO to be editing photos, occupying an hour of tech support’s time just to be able to change the color of an image. I sure don’t.
Save Files Created in Office 2016 for Mac to OneDrive If you have created a new file offline in Office 2016, when you want to save a file (File > Save or Save As, or ctrl-S) the application will present you with two options: • OneDrive – Northeastern University • SharePoint – Northeastern University (this is the Northeastern instance and is not connected to Office 365 – ITS does not recommend attempting to use this) NOTE: The “On my Mac” option is separate, and will bring you to a different window to choose a folder on your computer to save the file. Mac onedrive for business keeps crashing.
