Chapter 1. Customize PowerPoint Options to Suit Your Needs
You can get more done and you can get it done faster with PowerPoint when you customize its options to suit your needs. The tasks in this chapter are geared toward making the PowerPoint user interface work for you by helping you to place the tools you need where you need them.
If you have ever wondered how to open presentations with the Outline tab showing or with the Notes Page hidden, find out how here. It only takes a few minutes to configure PowerPoint to open presentations in the view in which you are most comfortable.
If you are tired of browsing to file folders many levels deep to find or save files, you can save time by adding a shortcut to the Favorites links. You can customize the Quick Access Toolbar to place the commands and features that you use most where they work best for you.
You can adjust various settings that streamline the way you use PowerPoint. For example, you can toggle the Mini toolbar and the Live Preview settings on and off, configure PowerPoint’s ScreenTips, modify the PowerPoint color scheme, and change your user name. To ensure accurate spelling, you can also customize the spell checker as well as PowerPoint’s AutoCorrect settings.
PowerPoint also offers a number of options that control slide shows, editing, printing, and AutoFormat, and you learn about those options in this chapter.
