Recently though, my feelings on using PowerPoint have shifted from a perspective of begrudgingly to one of interested and possibly even excited- specifically because of 3 new features Microsoft has debuted for its Office 365 subscribers: Designer, Morph and Zoom.ĭespite the names-which sound a bit like a long-lost disco group-the features deliver advanced capabilities to a platform that has seemingly remained stagnant for many years.ĭesigner allows presenters to quickly generate high-impact, professional-looking slides while Morph and Zoom improve continuation between slides-allowing the audience to better track the point of a presenter’s PowerPoint. I’ve been critical of PowerPoint in the past because its linear structure made it difficult for presenters to communicate context and avoid losing the audience in a sea of endless slides.
