Pin Recent Presentations
Its a tiring thing when you have to open you most frequently used slides and you need to pick up manually. You get some of them listed on your recent open file list but again they get over written every time you open another one. So if you want to make some of the slides show up permanently in the recent menu, click on the pin button next to file name.

Activate The Developer Tab
If you are making interactive slide show and use Macros with power point 2007 then you need to activate it. When I installed this feature was hidden. To enable it:

• Click On office Button ( Top left )
• Then on Power Point options
• Under the Popular Section select Show Developer Tab in the ribbon
• Then Click OK
• You will see a Developer Tab created on the Menu

Accurate Placement of objects like Images
When you insert an object like image aligning to an exact position can be done by selecting the object and then moving it with direction keys holding the CTRL button. This gives you movement in pixels and hence better placement. Use the gird view enabled to boost this method.

Save Presentation to Power Point 97-2003 Format
Its one of the common problem that slide show created in higher version don’t tend to open in another computer which is running previous version of Office 2007. In case you don’t see the option to save in 97-2003 format , do the following to enable it:

• Click on office button ( Present at top left)
• Click on Power Point option
• Go to save in left pane
• Click on drop down menu for Save Files in this format
• Choose PowerPoint Presentation 97-2003

Setting up Layouts
By Default Power Point 2007 gives you a layout which contains a footer, a header and some list items in the body area. Now suppose if you want to change it to some custom every time you want to create a slide show.

• Go to View tab of menu
• Click on Insert Place Holder drop down icon
• Choose the type of media you want to put in
• Next, Click and drag a box of size you want
• Done

Page Setup for presentations
Depending on type of projector or screen, it is a better option to change the presentation accordingly. A standard 4:3 resolution will look bad on wide screen like projectors.To change the page setup simply:

• Go to View Tab and Click on Slide Master
• Click on Page Setup icon
• Here you can set for custom or available presets
• Done
