-: Welcome in the warmup lecture within this course.
You can use the resources if you downloaded them,
but as you can see,
you can just open PowerPoint and do the same.
At first, I would like to show you how to set a shortcut
and set something to default.
Within this course, later on,
we will work a lot with charts.
The charts feature is on Insert, Chart.
What you can do to make your life a bit more convenient,
you can right click on this feature
and simply select Add to Quick Access Toolbar.
This little feature has been added here on the top
as a little shortcut.
Anytime I'm working in PowerPoint,
I can just click here quickly
and I can insert a chart right away.
Let's go one step further.
Let's say that you have a project,
and within this project, you are using a lot of bar charts.
You can go to the bar chart directly,
you can right-click on the chart
and set this chart as default.
Now, whenever you click on the Insert Chart feature,
the bar chart will be already pre-selected.
Pretty cool, huh?
It can save you a couple of seconds and a couple of clicks.
What I also wanted to mention, this quick access toolbar
on the Windows version, you can press your left Alt key
and use further shortcuts to recall to any function.
For example, the new function I added in my case is 0C,
so I just press 0C and I could insert a chart.
This, as I'm aware of, doesn't work in the Mac version,
I hope it will be implemented in the future,
but in the Mac version, you can right-click Customize,
and I recommend setting the toolbar position,
instead of Above Ribbon, to set it Below Ribbon.
Also, please deselect this Always show command labels,
so we have more space for shortcuts,
and this way those shortcuts would be a little closer
to your mouse.
Do you wanna see something else?
If you insert a shape in PowerPoint,
for example, a normal rectangle,
it is always blue and has an outline.
I really don't like the outline.
What I often do, I go to Shape Outline, No Outline.
You can even go to Shape Fill and give it a different color.
You can right-click and Set as Default Shape.
Right now, every time you insert something,
like insert a shape, it will be yellow
and it'll have no outline.
This could, again, save me two clicks.
This is a little warmup.
Those are quality of life improvements
I wanted to show you within PowerPoint.
I hope this course will have a lot more to offer,
especially regarding business presentations,
but saving your time is a crucial thing
that you should consider doing.
Thank you very much for listening to this lecture.
In the next lecture, I would like to start the business part
of the course and explain you a lot of frameworks
that we will work on and build upon, so stay tuned.
Let's go to the next lecture, and see you there.
