There are two types of tabs in the Media Browser in PowerPoint for Mac. The first type comprises those tabs that show media content within some designated folders on your computer (such as the Photos, Audio, and Movies tabs). The other three tabs (Clip Art, Symbols, and Shapes) show media content that’s part of the Microsoft Office collection. The Clip Art tab provides the quick and easy way in which you can browse Office 2011’s Clip Art collection. The other option to access the Clip Art is through the Clip Gallery.

If you have worked aplenty with text in PowerPoint, you must be aware that you cannot rotate text within a shape by 180°. What’s surprising is that you can rotate text by 90° and 270° within a shape, but not by 180°! But why would you need upside-down text that is rotated 180°? Many users do need this upside-down text to explain advanced concepts.
To learn more, choose your version of PowerPoint. If we do not have a tutorial for your version of PowerPoint, explore the version closest to the one you use.

The third tab within the Media Browser is the Movies tab. This tab provides quick access to movie clips (videos) that are already in your iMovie or Mac OS X Movies folders. In addition, it also shows any videos you create or store in your PhotoBooth and iTunes applications.

The second tab within the Media Browser is the Audio tab. This tab allows you to quickly add sounds to your PowerPoint slides. Since PowerPoint is so well integrated with Mac OS X, the Audio tab displays your iTunes and GarageBand music collections.

Do you want to create a table that is not conventionally rectangle-shaped? Even better, don’t you want to use a process that not only makes the table completely editable, but which ends up with a particular shape? Shapes you create using the Combine option can be used in all PowerPoint versions. We call these shapes “Cookie Cutters” because they let you cut parts of the slide almost the same way as cookie cutters cut parts of your cookie dough.
