Adding equations in your PowerPoint slide is a powerful way to present and communicate mathematical, scientific, and technical information to your audiences. Most people don’t add equations because it may appear like a complicated process or even unnecessary. However, putting in the effort to add an equation can make a big difference. And although some users may find this process cumbersome, it’s quite easy once you do so a few times.

Most charting books fall into two categories. They are about charting design and charting techniques. Books within the first category look at charting, so as to how a particular chart will help people understand a difficult concept. They also look at design principles and best practices. Books within the second category look at the actual steps and techniques you need to explore to create those charts. There are a few books in this category that look at how charts can be created within Microsoft Excel, and almost no book is available similarly for PowerPoint, but that’s OK since Excel powers the charting engine within PowerPoint as well.

Typing a space seems simple enough – just press the spacebar on your keyboard. However, what many people don’t realize is that this action only adds a regular breaking space. Occasionally, you may require a specific type of spacing within a sentence. This could be to prevent words from being split across two separate lines. In such cases, it’s important to use appropriate spacing techniques that ensure the text stays legible and easy to understand. One effective way of achieving this is by using a nonbreaking space.
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.

Charts are something that are often shared between Excel and PowerPoint. While Excel gurus may look down at PowerPoint as far as charting is concerned, there indeed is one charting feature that is not doable as well in Excel, and that is animating charts. OK, an Excel guru somewhere may have said that it’s great that you cannot animate charts in Excel, after all many PowerPoint users create a mess with animation anyway!
