Precise Rotation

Is there a more precise way to go about rotating an object? Using the green rotate handle means I have to guess as I drag.

Answer to the question:

A quick way of ensuring a more precise method of rotation; Hold down the SHIFT key whilst you rotate the object using the 'green' rotate handle, this will ensure that it rotates in 15 degree clicks.
If however you want to be even more precise in your rotation, then you should use the Format Picture dialog box; (Select the Graphic, Right click and from the shortcut menu choose Format Picture).
In the Dialog box choose the Size tab and enter the exact number of degrees you wish to rotate in the Rotation text box.

Powerpoint tip:

Slide numbers in PowerPoint

Slide numbers can be applied in PowerPoint by going to View-Header and footer, then ticking the slide number box.

You can also choose the Don't show on title slide option so that slide numbers do not show on any title layout slides in the presentation.

If this option is ticked and the first slide is a title layout slide, this will mean slide 2 will be numbered as 2 rather than 1.

To change this and start slide numbering at 1 on the second slide, go to File - Page Setup and change the Number slide from: option to 0. Click OK.
