Whenever you tap on an object in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint versions of Office 2013 while using a touch device such as the Microsoft Surface, you will see a floatie spawning right there! In our Touch Floatie within PowerPoint Touch tutorial, we explored how you can bring up floaties with differing options, depending upon the object you tap. The resultant floatie contains all the options required to format the tapped slide object.
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.

Most of you are aware of mini toolbars in PowerPoint for Windows (also in Word and Excel). These show up with several options that let you alter text or shape attributes. However, if you are using Office 2013 on a touch device such as Microsoft Surface, you’ll see floaties which are quite similar to the mini toolbars. They are different too because they have fewer options, and are also equipped with larger buttons so that you can tap on them easily.
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.

Unlike previous versions, newer PowerPoint for Windows and also Word and Excel versions, are completely touch-aware. Almost all options are accessible on any of the touch-capable devices, including Microsoft’s own Surface tablets. While your Surface may be equipped with an additional type cover or even a mouse, you really do not need either a keyboard or a mouse to use Word, Excel, or PowerPoint on a touch-enabled tablet.
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.
