PowerPoint lets you change the appearance of merged shapes. However, don’t assume that just because this is so easy-to-use, the end results won’t be seriously impressive. Together, there are five options that let you merge shapes, and we have already explored four of them. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how you can use the Subtract option to subtract one shape (or even multiple shapes), from the first selected shape.

While PowerPoint does have an option to automatically compare presentations, sometimes doing this comparison manually can be actually more effective, especially when you have fewer changes in the first place. You can place both presentations side by side and compare individual slides.

PowerPoint enables you to use picture bullets rather than conventional symbol bullets. And, while you can choose from an impressive collection of ready-to-use picture bullets, you can also import your own pictures to create a unique bullet style for your text lists. So, why would you want to import your own picture bullets? Probably because you want their color to match your company branding, or you want to use a stylized bullet that matches your logo. Whatever your reason may be, do remember that detailed graphics don’t work well as bullets. The more closer your graphic looks to the conventional dot-shaped bullet, the better it will appear for consistency and visual reasons.

PowerPoint provides you with umpteen options to change the appearance of your bullet points. You can change bullet styles, format the bullet size and its color, and use pictures as bullets. In addition, you can use a character from any font, including dingbats as a bullet. So what are dingbats? Dingbats are fonts which contain decorative symbols rather than alphabets and numbers. Wingdings is a good example of a dingbats font since it is installed by default on all computers.
