While PowerPoint on its own provides a wide array of features for creating and presenting your ideas with static and animated slides, there are still many third-party tools that can help you supercharge PowerPoint with additional features. Below is a list of some very handy tools that can help you make PowerPoint even better.
Tabs For PowerPoint
When it comes to multitasking and management of multiple windows of an application, nothing works better than tabs. Unfortunately, PowerPoint does not provide tabs by default, however you can get a tabbed interface with various customization options using Tabs For PowerPoint. This is a PowerPoint add-in which not only makes it possible to use PowerPoint in different tabs but also provides various customization options to color tabs and configure hotkeys. Furthermore, it works with the latest PowerPoint 2013 and even older versions like PowerPoint 2010, 2007 and 2003.
