However, unlike Microsoft Word, older PowerPoint version do not have a tool to highlight text, but you can use Word’s highlighting options as a workaround!
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.

Before we look into workarounds, be aware that Microsoft’s clip art collection never really contained high-resolution quality videos! Most of the videos obtained were essentially animated GIFs – but yes, these animated GIFs do have a place of their own in slides, and it’s unfortunately no longer possible to get those clips in PowerPoint.
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.
