MICROSOFT POWERPOINT 2021

Microsoft PowerPoint 2021 as a standalone program

Microsoft PowerPoint is the classic software program for designing convincing visualizations of information and creating vivid presentations. With PowerPoint 2021, the latest version of the proven Office software is available for creating professional presentations at work, school and university. Professionals, but also beginners, are supported by intuitively usable tools to compile topics and content informatively and at the same time impressively on slides and to convey them through a lively presentation.

The newly revised, user-friendly interface of Microsoft PowerPoint 2021 and allows a quick start in the program, and the large selection of templates and design options allow the creation of presentation slides in an individual look.

The new PowerPoint 2021 also supports touch-optimized use on tablets as well as the use of digital pens - special mention should also be made here of the new freehand drawing tool, which can be used to spontaneously create your own drafts.

By networking with Microsoft OneDrive, PowerPoint 2021 can also be used in teams via the cloud. The high security standards guarantee smooth collaboration. It also makes it even easier than before to create accessible presentations.

PowerPoint2021 is normally only available as a fixed component of the corresponding Office version, but at Wiresoft you can also buy the software separately. In order to be able to use PowerPoint 2021 on your computer or other end device, the Windows 10 operating system is a mandatory requirement. In Wiresoft's online store, you can get the latest PowerPoint 2021 as well as older versions and other Office programs at particularly low prices as a single-user version, without a software subscription. All interesting new features in PowerPoint 2021 are shown in the following detailed overview.

Overview of the new PowerPoint features in version 2021

PowerPoint 2021 not only contains numerous improvements and enhancements to the previous tools, such as the extended zoom functions and the use of SVG and 3D graphics, but also some new features.

Specific PowerPoint features for impressive presentations

PowerPoint 2021 offers some new handy features that make presentations in particular even more vivid and interesting:

• Using the Morph function, smooth transitions between individual slides are created, and individual objects or text can also be animated.
• The zoom functions also create more dynamic presentations: Using the slide zoom, presenters can freely navigate between specific slides, sections, and parts of a presentation without visually interrupting it. The zoom effect thus creates the impression of continuity.
• It is also possible to use zoom to highlight only details on slides.
• With the summary zoom, the entire presentation can be summarized on one slide to create dynamic effects.
• Screen presentations can also be held with the digital Surface Pen or any other pen that can be used via Bluetooth: This also makes it easy to switch slides; likewise, it can be used to highlight individual areas of a slide during the presentation to draw extra attention to them.
• The recording functions offer both the option of recording video and audio comments, as well as gestures for digital hands-free input. All available features are clearly available in the "Record" tab in the ribbon.
• When exporting a presentation as a video file, the high-resolution 4K resolution is now also available for selection, for crisp movies.

New chart types and 3D models

In addition to the previous graphs and models integrated into PowerPoint, the 2021 version provides a number of additional diagrams as well as three-dimensional models, which further expand the possibilities when illustrating presentations:

• The new integrated 3D models can all be rotated 360° and scaled: Users can also create such three-dimensional content themselves and insert it into a PowerPoint file.
• By applying the morph transition, the 3D models can also be animated.
• Like the 3D models, the now available scalable vector graphics - also known as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files - have the advantage that they can be enlarged, reduced and rotated as desired without loss of image quality, and can be further processed with filters.
• Geographic data can be transformed into a map diagram in just a few steps, for example to illustrate certain statistical distributions in an area.
• The new funnel diagrams can be used to illustrate the phases of processes in a particularly clear way.

General functions

In addition to these new tools and features, PowerPoint 2021 also offers a whole range of other innovations, which primarily support freehand drawing as well as facilitate the design of accessible presentation documents and also make the use of the program even more efficient overall.

New options in PowerPoint for the desktop view and features

Office design has also been enhanced in PowerPoint 2021 with the following features that can be activated depending on your choice:

• PowerPoint 2021 now includes additional designs that particularly promote concentration while working by replacing the otherwise program-typical window colors with achromatic tones: White, for example, offers a very bright view, while dark gray and especially black with the Dark Mode have a particularly reduced effect and are easy on the eyes.
• The previous typical, familiar ribbon look has been combined in PowerPoint 2021 with the tile look, as also shown by the Windows 10 operating system. Now, the frequently used elements and functions are more highlighted so that they can be found more quickly. Also, tabs can be arranged differently as well as the ribbon can be hidden completely, so that functions are only available via the general menu bar.

Freehand tool and other graphics features in PowerPoint 2021

In PowerPoint 2021, a powerful freehand tool is available that can be operated not only by pen input and touch operation, but also with the computer mouse, for example, to freely draw diagrams and formulas and immediately insert them into a presentation, or to highlight text passages in color, as has long been possible in Word. PowerPoint has the following features and effects, among others:

• An assortment of different digital pens in various thicknesses and colors can be used for highlighting and drawing: including a pencil for drawing sketches, a pen for normal writing, and the popular highlighter, which colors words, etc. Also available are pens with a metallic effect, as well as other graphic effects with such descriptive names as galaxy and rainbow, lava, ocean, silver and gold.
• With the Freehand tool and the Freehand FormulaInsert function, even more complex mathematical formulas can be freely created and inserted into a presentation.
• Sometimes you only want to use a certain detail from an image, without the disturbing background, which then has to be removed. Cropping is even easier in PowerPoint 2021, because the program automatically detects the background area. Corrections can be made with the integrated pencil to add parts back or remove them.
• With the pencil it is also possible to select certain areas of a table to use only these in a graphic.

Creating accessible presentations in PowerPoint

In PowerPoint 2021 , in addition to previous improved capabilities, new features are also available to optimize presentation content when creating slides so that they are easier to read and understand for viewers with visual impairments.

• When the supporting error correction is activated, PowerPoint 2021 makes suggestions for improvements based on internationally valid standards. By clicking on "Review", the program makes suggestions in each case, which are accepted and automatically implemented with a further click.
• For example, the error correction tool points out missing alternative text in visual objects, as well as insufficient color contrast in graphics and images: By using the "grayscale" view, PowerPoint simulates their view for a color-blind person.
• When using the predefined PowerPoint slide templates, such slide titles are automatically integrated that contain a heading structure.
• Here, the AI feature QuickStarter also offers a practical start-up aid for a new presentation, as it supports users in structuring it as well as in thematic research. After entering a topic, the QuickStarter displays a list of matching subtopics and also suggests a suitable set of slides for each. Based on the research in Bing, slides with corresponding content are created, which can be selected by clicking on them. In the next step, a suitable look including background graphics can be added, so that the basis for the next presentation is ready in just a few minutes.

Easier collaboration on PowerPoint documents

If several people are working on a presentation, their changes or feedback, including the name of the author, can be displayed and also undone. To do this, a copy of the presentation must be published in the cloud on OneDrive or SharePoint. As soon as all the people involved have added their changes or comments there, the original and copy can be compared and both versions merged.
