From my experience in the military and as an instructor, presentation creation and application is a necessary skill.
Making the most of Power point
Slideshows can expand the knowledge that you impart during your presentation.
Many people do not utilize slideshows or power point fully.

By using some of the lesser known functions of power point, you can improve your presentation versatility and increase the speed of creation.
Making the most of Power point
These functions can multiply the speed and effectiveness of your presentations.
They can also increase the versatility of your slideshows.

Benefits – Creation of slides from outside documents

I have attempted this in Google slideshow in the past and have been unable to utilize it. Google may have updated their slideshow to allow this.

Custom Shows
Versatility – Creation of multiple slideshows from a single set of slides
Adaptability – Ability to tailor a pre-made show to your target audience
Custom shows allow you to create multiple presentations from one slideshow. A single set of slides can be tailored to different audiences without removing slides from the original slideshow.

Published Slideshows
Collaboration – Ability of different groups to work on individual slides
Control – Ability of publisher to edit group
This allows versatility in using your slideshows with groups. Multiple people can work on the same show with this function.

File Tab
Publish Slides
Click on the ‘File’ tab. Then click on ‘Share’. You will share this show through the ‘Publish’ function. This will allow you to publish the show on a share point (collaboration page). Individuals can then sign out individual slides, alter them, and then save them back on the site. One use I have seen is creating single slides for different sections in the military. Each section works on their own slides in the share point and then save them. Then the slides from all the sections can be presented as one slideshow.
