Power+Point+Tips

These are a few things I recently discovered in PowerPoint.

1) In PowerPoint 2010 you can remove the background from a picture. Select the picture you want to remove the background from and then click on "Picture Tools". You can access the tool by selecting "Remove Background" (the first icon on the left).

2) When you insert a hyperlink, to the left of the box for the text there is a button that says "Screen Tips" if you click on this you can enter text that shows up when the user rolls their mouse over the link. This even works if you are making an image a link. You can make an image link back to the slide it is on and then the "Screen Tip" can be a caption/alternate text.
