Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 removes the hassle normally involved in adjusting the size and position of overlapping images on slides. You can simply drag one picture over another. The top picture will become transparent, so that you can position it accurately over the other.

122. Add More Levels of Undo
You can go back farther in Microsoft Office PowerPoint to undo actions.
1. With PowerPoint open, click the Office button, and then click PowerPoint Options.
2. On the Advanced tab, change the Maximum number of undos from the default 20 to any number from 3 to 150.

Want to convert a flat shape in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 into a 3-D object? Here’s how:
1. With a slide open, click the Insert tab, and then select any shape from the Shapes ribbon. Alternately, select a shape you have created yourself.
2. Click the slide's surface to add the shape to the slide.
3. Right-click the shape, and then click Format Shape.
4. Select a solid or gradient fill. This step is not required but will enhance the 3-D look of your object.
5. Transform your shape into a 3-D object. You can add depth, bevel, contour, and surface type via the 3-D Format tab.
6. Give perspective to your 3-D shape. Rotate the object via the 3-D Rotation tab.
