Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 – Do things quickly and easily with Tell Me

You'll notice a text box on the ribbon in PowerPoint 2016 that says ‘Tell me what you want to do’. This is a text field where you can enter words and phrases about what you want to do next, and quickly get to features you want to use or actions you want to perform.

You can also use Tell Me to find help about what you're looking for, or to use Smart Lookup to research or define the term you entered.

Using Tell Me to make tasks easier:

·      At the top of the Home ribbon, click the Tell me what you want to do dialog box, and simply start typing what you’re looking for, then select the result that applies to your task.

·      Every keystroke refines the results, so that you can just choose a command (or more options) that you’re looking.

 

Using Tell Me to insert a picture:

For example, type ‘remove’ in the box, and Tell Me will present several commands and options for removing or deleting a slide from your presentation. Now, simply choose your command or option.
