How to Prep for Your Next Business PowerPoint Presentation  
Four Easy Steps to Take Before You Even Open PowerPoint

All great business PowerPoint presentations start with solid preparation. What you do before you even open PowerPoint will significantly affect your chances for achieving your desired outcomes.  

 

To help you lay a solid foundation for your next presentation, we've put together four simple preparatory steps you can take to ensure that your next one is your best one yet. Read on. 

Ctrl+Shift+C, Ctrl+Shift+V: Copy, Paste (Text and Shape Styles)

Try this PowerPoint trick: Highlight some bulleted text that has some formatting you like. Hit "Ctrl+Shift+C" to copy the formatting into the clipboard (nothing visible will happen).  

 

Now select the text that you want to format in the same way, and hit "Ctrl+Shift+V". The formatting you copied will be applied to the selected text. Magic!  

 

This also works for shapes. Use the same steps but click the outer edge of the element you want to "copy"  and "paste" it to your new shape.
