Discover the top Microsoft Office PowerPoint add-ins to transform your presentations! This video guides you through six must-have tools that will elevate your PowerPoint experience.
Here's what's inside:
▪️ Pro Word Cloud: Visualize text data effortlessly. Create impactful word clouds to highlight key trends and phrases.
▪️ Break Time: Manage time smartly in lengthy presentations. Embed a countdown timer directly into your slides to ensure timely breaks and keep your audience engaged.
▪️ QR4Office: Simplify audience engagement. Generate QR codes easily, directing viewers to your website, social media, or presentation materials.
▪️ Mentimeter: Make your presentations interactive. Set up live polls, quizzes, and word clouds, engaging your audience in real-time.
▪️ Thor - The Hammer: Streamline your slide designs. Position and resize images uniformly across slides with this handy tool from Steve Rinsberg.
In this video you'll learn the top 5 best add-ins for Microsoft PowerPoint any professional should have. Create word cloud images from text for free in PowerPoint, insert QR codes with a free addin. An icebreaker for any presentation is the Mentimeter addin for PowerPoint. I'll show you how to easily integrate Mentimenter with your PowerPoint presentation. You'll also learn how to add a count down timer or a break timer so everyone knows when to get back, and a hammer to memorize the size and position of any shape on a PowerPoint slide. This way you can use the same size and shape setting of one image on other slides as well.
I also added a bonus tip to speed up the use of PowerPoint add-ins in your daily work.

Leila, you are one of the best presenters I have seen. Your presentations are concise and to the point. They are informative and entertaining so that they hold my attention. The way you present yourself is dynamic! You look right into the camera as if you were talking directly to me which makes it very engaging, your voice isn't monotone and you have clear diction with just the right amount of intonation. You are always dressed professionally and your set is simple yet to the point. Simply put "less is more". You are a class act and I really learn a lot and enjoy your presentations. Thank you for providing these tutorials.

... and do not forget to Export your customizations in toolbar or any other customizable feature built-in MS Office: File >> Options >> Quick Access Toolbar in (bottom right) Customization: >> [ Import/Export ] and save your customizations to carry with you to be imported to an Office app and keep your productivity in your Customer environment as an example. In my case: I consider Excel formulas as a code and I use glasses, so I usually change the Excel Formula area font to a monospaced (fixed-width) font a bit larger than the default one. Since I put my hands on one of the firsts Radio Shack TRS-80 (8-bit Z80 16KB monochromatic) of the country I fell in love by the (slashed-0) terminal fonts... and as a left-handed I abandoned my cursive handwriting to a capital letter handwriting many years ago... with a slashed-0 - my choice is Consolas 11. To change the font of Excel Formula area: File >> Options >> General in (the second field) "When creating new workbooks:" Use this as the default font: [ and chose the font you like ] it doesn't affect the document (spreadsheet) area, just the Formula area. This week I started to UXing my Excel following the W3C recommendations and AWS techniques (not the Amazon one, but initials of Ophthalmology Researchers) to improve productivity and keep my eyes safe, such as change cell colors to a (Windows Tan, light-grey greenish) (Paper) White and font colors to (Windows Dark Grey) (Ink) Black, and changed the font to Verdana 11. I already UXing my Notepad++ Light Mode to the same foreground/background colors and Consolas 11. I am still working on it but I will save as Book Template according to one of Leila Gharani's video about templates. Many thanks to Leila... I just subscribed to her channel minutes ago.

Hi Leila - old fan of your channel. Can you please do a video on how to update Excel with Planner automatically. So if any buckets/task fields from Planner gets updated/added/removed then it is reflected in Excel automatically. Not sure if it works with Power Query, if not then with Power Automate.
