Presentations: I am looking for the quickest way to
develop amazing slides.
©Sunayana Reddy, has made more than 100 PowerPoint presentations
The quickest way to develop amazing slides is to follow these 10
hacks:
1.6×6 Rule
This cardinal rule of PowerPoint design should never be violated.
According to this basic rule, any given slide must have only six
lines with six words on each line.
2. Black out/White out
You see your audience’s attention waning? You can very cleverly

Hit the B key on your
keyboard and all your
distracted audience will see
is blackness in front of
them.If you are a little more
peace-loving, you can
choose a white-out as well.
Hit the W key on your
keyboard and dazzle your
audience with the white
screen.
4.Bow down to the Master
Slide
More often than not your
presentation ends up looking
drab, courtesy the boring
templates that Microsoft
provides you. There are a
host of templates that you
can download from the net
and the latest Microsoft
Office has included sleeker,
more appealing slide
designs. But when you have
the option of creating your
own unique slide design why
settle for something
readymade? Look at your
topic, pick images and the
colour scheme and put it all
on a master slide.
5. Make use of the Grids
and Rulers
Life is so much easier when
things just fall into place.
The grids and rulers option
in the PowerPoint helps you
do just that. The grids and
rulers are not on
by default but you can turn
them on by clicking on the
space outside the slide but
not on the sidebars.
6. Animated!
PowerPoint offers a wide

range of animations and they can be used to create interesting
slide designs and jazz up your presentation.
7. Animate the Charts!
Boring statistics? Worry no more, because your pie chart or bar
graph or histogram can now be animated. Once you have
inserted your chart and added animations to it, go to the final
tab “Chart Animation” and change “Group Chart” from “As One
Object” to “BY Category”. Now you can get your chart to
appear as you speak about each of its components.
8. Duplicate – Don’t Copy and Paste
We are sure that CTRL + C and CTRL + V aren’t your favorite
keyboard shortcuts. But imagine copying and pasting a
particular text or image multiple times on a slide? That would
annoy even the biggest fans of Copy-Paste. An easier way to do
it is to duplicate instead. So click on any object that you want
to be copied and press CTRL while you drag it. They space
themselves out evenly as well. The more useful thing is
duplicating an entire slide. Select the slide or set of slides that
you want to duplicate, go to the New Slide menu and select
Duplicate Selected Slides. You get all the slides duplicated
automatically.

9. Create New Shapes
PowerPoint has a beautiful variety of shapes that you can use
in your slides. But what if we told you that you can combine
them together to create more shapes of your own? You can
just select all the objects, go to the Drawing Tools option and
select Format under which you can select Merge Shapes. It
subtracts the overlapping portions from the two shapes, giving
you a cool new shape! What is more exciting is that it can do
the same with images and text as well!
10. Save it as .PPS
Remember the last time there was a group presentation and
the person controlling the PPT kept fumbling around the
screen trying to look for the slideshow button and you lost out
on precious time because of that? Well, this trick will eliminate
the entire process of opening the presentation and going into
slideshow.
Once you finish designing your PPT, go to File and select Save
As. In the dialog box that follows, select the file type as .PPS
and voila! When you click on this file, it directly opens the
slideshow screen and takes care of the hassle in between.
