How To Customize the PowerPoint Status Bar

              
This tip applies to all the Office apps, but we've illustrated it with PowerPoint. You can control exactly what categories of information any Office app displays on its status bar. Right-click on the status bar, and turn on or off the features you want to see. At the right edge of each item in the menu, you see the information that would currently appear on the status bar if that item were enabled—for example, the name of the visual theme used in the presentation currently opened.

Power Point Animation Painter

Expert Word and PowerPoint users know about the Format Painter tool, which you use to copy formatting from one paragraph in Word (or one object in PowerPoint) to another. PowerPoint 2010 adds a time-saving Animation Tool that works in essentially the same way. Click on the object that has an animation you want to use to animate another object; then click on the Animation Painter tool; finally click on the object to which you want to apply the animation.

How to Recover Unsaved Documents in MS Office

          

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint all have a new feature that saves documents that you've neglected to save when you closed them—including documents that you haven't even bothered to save with a name more specific than "Document1." This feature builds on Office's long-standing autosave feature, which automatically backs up the current version of your document every ten minutes (or whatever interval you set in the app's options). Earlier versions of Office deleted the last of these automated backups when you closed a document, but Office 2010 preserves the last automated backup and lets you open it. Click File, Recent, Recover Unsaved Documents, and then choose the document from a standard File/Open dialog box.

Insert Screen Clips in PowerPoint (or Word)

              

Word and PowerPoint now make it easy to insert screen captures into a document by selecting Screenshot from the Insert tab. Doing so launches a gallery of currently open windows, and you can click one to insert an image of the window into your document (or you can click Screen Clipping, and drag the mouse to select the screen region that you want to clip and paste into your document). When you press Enter, the screen capture gets inserted automatically.

Bonus tip: Here's how to get a screen shot of the app you're running—something that's normally impossible because Word and PowerPoint disappear while you drag the mouse to make a screen clip. If you want to make a screen shot of PowerPoint to use in PowerPoint (as I did in this image), simply use Word to take the screen shot, and drag the image from Word into PowerPoint.

Broadcast a Slideshow From Power Point

                

The best new idea in PowerPoint is its built-in broadcast feature, which you can launch by

 opening a Presentation=> clicking File=> Save & Send=> Broadcast Slide Show=> clicking the Broadcast Slide Show button=> and then Start Broadcast. 

The first time you do this, you'll need to log in to Microsoft's free broadcast service with a Windows Live ID, but you can choose the option to log in automatically in the future. When the broadcast is ready, the dialog box will display a Send in Email link, which you can use to send an invitation link to your audience (buttons on the ribbon let you send out additional invites). To begin the broadcast, click the Start Slide Show button.
