Templates with Exclusive Color Themes
There are a plenty of color themes available with which the template can be used. If the user is willing to use dark colors along with a theme with light color, the available color themes can be checked out by simply clicking on the template. The style and color of the elements in the template customization is the same as in the older versions.
Account Management
An active connection with SkyDrive account has now become possible through the Account Management window in this latest version of Microsoft PowerPoint 2013.
The connection can be established automatically as soon as the user signs in for Microsoft Account. The same account can be used on various devices that gives the opportunity to synchronize the documents to the cloud with viewing and editing capability, on any of the synced devices. This feature helps you to commute without carrying any documents along, which makes sharing of documents really convenient and hassle free.
Support for Full Screen & Widescreen
There are various widescreen themes and templates offered in this exclusive Microsoft PowerPoint 2013. However this feature was also available in the older version but it was required to do it manually that further changes the size of every element in the slide. But, this latest version now incorporates built-in support for Widescreen display devices. In addition, for editing documents, full screen mode has also been introduced.
Merge Shapes, Auto Text Wrapping and Alignment Guides
Alignment Guides is an exclusive feature released in MS PowerPoint 2013 that provides users flexibility to align text and objects conveniently to each other. This feature can be used for merging various shapes. In addition to this, auto text wrapping is another feature added here through which the text is adjusted automatically around the image to avoid overlapping.

Although the same feature was also there in the older version of PowerPoint but pasting the embed code of a particular video was required.
