Microsoft Powerpoint

I use Microsoft Powerpoint to design executive presentations for C-level professionals. This product helps me tell stories based on data, to drive better business decisions. The shortcuts and customizations allow me to be extremely efficient in terms of time. Embedded tools like links to Microsoft excel as well as add-ins for data visualization are extremely helpful in my scope. I also enjoy the online syncing of files, so that I never lose my data and others can collaborate with me at the same time.

I use it on a Daily Basis to create slides, explain and document topics. Use it as a presentation tool but also as documentation tool. We use it for almost everything in the entire organization. It solves our problems of visualization of business decisions, presentations, basis for everything. The scope is from easy picture editing to creative logo creation.

I use Microsoft Powerpoint for sooooo many things. Not only do I use it to make presentations, but I also use it to make newsletters (so much less annoying formatting than in Microsoft Word), movie posters for upcoming safety training, flyers, brochures, and so much more.

I have been using Microsoft Powerpoint for the last 28 years. Some of the improvements have actually helped speed up the time it takes me to design a presentation. Plus, they have so many free templates inside Microsoft Powerpoint. The "Designer tab" is a must, no matter if you are new to graphic design or if you have been doing it for years!

You can change the orientation (portrait to landscape) with a click of a button.

Another really cool feature is that Microsoft has FINALLY made adding YouTube videos a snap. Plus, you have many more controls over how the video plays (automatically, loop, and full screen). In the past, if you clicked on the link, it would open up your local browser, and then you had to watch ads and maximize to fit the screen. Trust me, it was a pain in the butt to have to do that. Now, in Microsoft Powerpoint, all you have to do is click on the insert tab, navigate to the video, click on the down arrow, select online video, and paste the hyperlink to the video. It is that easy. I'm still trying to figure out how they avoid ads.

I'm in Advancement for education and much of my job includes writing specific, customized proposals for prospective donors to the organization. Often, the gift officers I'm working with don't have experience with Adobe, so I needed a solution to be able to design a document, lock certain elements, but leave some accessible so that a regular person would be able to edit as needed on the road. It's an unconventional use for Powerpoint, but it's also exactly what I needed. Of course, I also use it for presentations both professionally and personally.
