Sometimes we tend to forget that the tool exists, and we continue to do things manually. Actions like changing fonts in all slides, aligning objects and more would be the example of it. In today\u2019s blog, we will be sharing five under-utilized tools that can help you on your next idea creation with PowerPoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Font Replacement Tool<\/strong><br>Conveniently replace fonts in your slides to your liking by using this tool.

That way you don\u2019t need to replace all your fonts one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Object Alignment Tool<\/strong><br>Getting the lines, tables, shapes and other objects to be aligned with one another can sometimes be difficult. Instead, you can opt to utilize the \u201cAlign\u201d tool to get all your objects aligned. Not only that, you can also distribute the objects evenly by using this tool. Simply click on multiple objects, head to the \u201cShape Format\u201d tab, on the far-right side you\u2019ll find the \u201cAlign\u201d tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Icons<\/strong><br>Frustrated with finding icons you need on the Internet? Worry no more because PowerPoint has its own selection of icons. Simply head on to \u201cInsert\u201d tab, there you will see an \u201cIcon\u201d button, click into it, and search away! Additionally, if the colour of the icon does not suit your presentation theme, you can always change it by browsing the \u201cGraphics Format\u201d tab when you clicked the icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resizing Multiple Images<\/strong><br>Having different image sizes would ruin your presentation. With this, by using this tool it can help you resize all your images in the same shape in one go.

There, you can adjust the height OR the width to the size you desire for your images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Distributing Table Columns and Rows Tool<\/strong><br>Not only can objects be distributed, tables function also have the tool to distribute the columns and rows evenly. This tool can be found at the \u201cLayout\u201d Tab, on the Cell Size area you will see the \u201cDistribute Rows\u201d or \u201cDistribute Column\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know all these under-utilized tools in PowerPoint, you can try to use it on your next idea creation!
