Move over Power Points, and static pages, enter VLogging and Youtube! The world has come a long way since the times of power point presentations, and why not when you can have the advantage of video! Videos make for better engagement of the audience, they appear to be more human, and yes there is less of print matter!

I just gave a webinar on upgrading to PowerPoint 2013, explaining all the new features and how to use them. During the webinar, I discussed 2 features that I realized are so hard to find that I really should share them with everyone. In PowerPoint 2010 and earlier, when you chose Insert > Clip Art, you could specify that you wanted only photographs. You did that in the Clip Art task pane from the Results Should Be drop-down list, as you see here.

Widescreen, also known as 16:9, HDTV, 720p, 1080p, 13.333”x7.5”, among other names, is the new default aspect ratio in the new PowerPoint. To make your experience with the new dimensions pleasant, we’ve built a brand new set of themes specifically targeting this aspect ratio, and we’ve improved our conversion code so that you can easily make the switch to widescreen from other aspect ratios.
Baiba Svenca's insight:
There is no doubt that widescreen presentations are more impressive than the standard size ones. The article gives evidence for it and explains how you can go from standard to widescreen size in PowerPoint 2013. It also gives tips how you can print handouts of widescreen presentations.

Google has added Slides, the latest version of its Docs presentation software, to its suite of offline applications, as it tries to play a spoiler role with the official releases of Microsoft Office 2013 and the home user version of Office 365 right around the corner. Slides users will now be able to view and edit presentations without an Internet connection, provided they are using the Chrome Web browser or a Chrome OS device.
Baiba Svenca's insight:
A convenient way to edit your presentations offline. However, you can't edit spreadsheets offline yet and you need to use Chrome browser. Android or iOS users still have to wait.

It’s time to share your presentation! Whether you’re delivering a business proposal to a client, an academic presentation to your professor, or even showing a personal photo slide to your grandmother, you have to ensure that your visuals can be clearly seen by your audience.
Baiba Svenca's insight:
With PowerPoint 2013 or 2010, you do not need any additional program to convert your presentation to video because this feature is integrated in the software. The article describes the steps you need to take to create a video file from your presentation. If you use PowerPoint 2007 which does not have this option, it can be done indirectly.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 has a brand-new look: It’s cleaner and primed for use on tablets and phones, so you can swipe and tap your way through presentations. Presenter View automatically adapts to your projection set-up, and you can even use it on a single monitor. Themes now come with variations, which make it simpler to hone in on the look you want.
Baiba Svenca's insight:
There is no doubt that many of us are going to use (or already use) PowerPoint 2013, so it is reasonable to get acquainted with the new features.
