PowerPoint has several features that may amaze you, but did you know about an option to convert regular text into a shape. First of all, this is an undocumented feature. And then, this is such an utterly useful option, that people find all sorts of excuses to use this feature. For example, you can now easily create logos in PowerPoint without using any other application. Or use a fancy font and then share that presentation with others in the knowledge that recipients can see the font exactly as intended, even if it’s not installed on their computers.

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.
