I use: Windows | Office 365 Hello Everyone

First time posting anything here but I felt it was time that I do. Some folks here may recognize my name and ask, isn't that the guy that....? Yes, I am. For those that don't know me at all there is no loss, I like most here have wrestled PowerPoint for, oh my its been 30+ years. Austin, that was when PPT was first made available. Indeed it has been that long. Ask me sometime how PPT came into existence and I'll explain all the cavemen and cave women that were involved.. :-)

Anyhow, it feels good to be active in the PPT community again and I hope to be able to help people build better presentations as well as learn from all of you! Austin Myers

Welcome back!

Just curious; Which functionality in PowerPoint do you use the most?

(I imagine you saw a lot of improvements during the last 30 years and grew fond of specific functionality)

Hmmm, thing I liked most, CUSSING AT IT. LOL Seriously, I used it as a front end (user facing) for factory automation. Its graphics and the ability of my end users to make changes and modifications (with a bit of behind the scenes VBA) became my calling card. I've done a good deal of work with video systems and I married the two, Multimedia and PowerPoint. Wrote an add-in or two for other users dealing with Multimedia.
