I get to help customers be more productive and make the most of their Microsoft 365 subscription through content programming (messages that appear in a non-obtrusive way as people are working in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). One of my favorite features is PowerPoint's QuickStarter--go from idea to final presentation with a few clicks! With QuickStarter, you search a subject and QuickStarter returns a set of starter slides with resources for additional research. You then select the slides you want to keep and the look you'd like for your presentation. Your presentation is now ready for you to fine-tune and make final.
