Advanced Drawing Techniques: Types of Points (Vertexes) for Shapes in PowerPoint

Every shape in PowerPoint is created using both points and segments. Points, also known as vertexes are pronounced areas of a shape, and segments are straight or curved lines that connect these points. It is easy to understand the relationship between points and segments using a connect-the-dots analogy. The points represent the dots whereas the segments represent the lines you draw between the dots.

Action Buttons: Adding Iconography to Action Buttons in PowerPoint

You know that Action Buttons are helpful because they at least look like buttons! But choices are limited to what PowerPoint provides—and let’s face it, choices for Action Buttons have remained unchanged for the last 20 years. What has changed in those 20 years? There was no Facebook, almost no social media, and the internet was in its infancy. Given this scenario, it is no surprise that the Action Buttons are limited to VCR-style buttons, those were probably in vogue 20 years ago! Now times have changed, and fortunately you can tweak Action Buttons to create your own variants, as we will show you in this tutorial.
