How to format pictures in organization chart
When you insert pictures to your org chart (see how to create organization
chart with picture) or other SmartArt chart with pictures, you don't need another program to prepare
pictures. PowerPoint provides you a feature rich functionality for cropping, rotating, painting, and other
formatting needs.
Create an organization chart with pictures
For business presentations, you often need to show an organizational chart like a future business structure
chart or a corporate structure chart. PowerPoint has the predefined organization chart templates that make
organization structure editing not harder than editing a simple list of items.
Save your slides as pictures
If you want to make your presentation non-modifiable, you save it to *.pdf format or *.ppsx format
(PowerPoint Show format - see Automatically show your
presentation). However, if you want to publish the presentation on your personal or corporate Web
site, the better option is to export slides as separate pictures.
Change PowerPoint units from inches to centimeters and vice versa
PowerPoint is using local Windows settings to show grid spacing, figure sizes, etc. This can be an issue if
you prepare the presentation for different or multiple locales. Fortunately, you can temporarily change the
measurement units if you have strict style guide requirements.
Fast way to create photo album in PowerPoint
If you plan to create a presentation for your family, friends, or colleagues and have only photos, you don't

Prepare the presentation for printing
If you plan to print your presentation in black and white (sometimes it is cheaper and even more informative
then printing in color), you should check how it will look like without color.
Automatically show your presentation
Instead of opening your PowerPoint presentation file and then clicking F5 or using other ways to start the
presentation, you can save your PowerPoint file in the PowerPoint Show format. Also, this format prevents
changes in the presentation.
