Do you want to show only selected slides from your presentation to a particular audience? The answer is not to delete the slides you do not want to show and thereafter saving as a copy. The answer is to create a custom slide show! So what’s a custom slide show? Think of your individual slides as songs, then a custom slide show is a playlist of those songs! Even better, since this is like a playlist, you do not have to delete the slides that are not used. And there’s more, you can create any number of custom slide shows!

Once you add gradient fills to shapes in PowerPoint, you may want to make the gradient fill look a little different, or even a whole lot different. Yes, you can use the More Gradients option to add different types of gradients as fills to the shapes but that only provides more gradient fill types, and does not let you customize the colors within the gradient.
