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.
