Learn how you can install fonts temporarily to work on a one-time project or task.


So what you can do is you can use a product that I have found which is called Font Loader. You can see the URL over here and I’ll put it in the description below and you can download Font Loader to your computer. It’s very simple. You don’t have to even install the product.
Temporarily Installing Fonts with Font Loader


Have you come across a situation where you open a PowerPoint presentation or a Word document or any other file where a font has been used that you don’t have installed on your system, like in this case, the text, Six Secrets is using a font called Capture It, which is actually not installed on my system at this point in time. When we install the font, you’ll see it looks completely different than what it looks now. So the simple solution is you can just go and install the font.

PowerPoint is an amazing program not only because it’s a great way to communicate and share ideas with others, but also because it can take content from myriad sources, and combine them all cohesively with visual unity.

There are essentially two ways in which you can bring content within PowerPoint — either by using options within the Insert tab of the Ribbon or by copying content from other programs and pasting within PowerPoint. In this post, we will explore the latter way, and also look at why you should explore the Paste Special option rather than using the plain vanilla Paste button that slide-creators typically use.

Flawless Presentation

Each of us at least once came across the fact that when viewing a presentation, we wanted to close the slideshow after the first two slides. Most of the presentations are boring and tiresome.

If you want to create a presentation of your idea, advertising offer, or technology, you need to figure out how to present the information so that the audience will be interested.

Not everyone can boast of the skill of creating an engaging and intriguing presentation. You don’t need to be a professional designer to get the result you want. The main thing is to study the main stages.

In this article, we’ll show you how to make the process easier and share tips for creating an immersive slideshow.

Today, we are going to look at a tool from ShapeFactory that lets you create a logo. So, you go to the ShapeFactory site. And you click on this option that lets you create a new logo.

Create Logos with ShapeFactory Logo


It asks us to type in a business name. So I’m using a fictional consultancy business called Tomato Rice Enterprises.

Let’s get started. So you’re asked to select a wordmark. Essentially, you have to decide what sort of typeface you want to use for the logo. The ShapeFactory folks call this a wordmark since you’re designing a logo, but you need to look beyond just a logo at this point in time because your type identity will extend beyond a logo because you will need a body typeface or font that can complement your wordmark. So, choose your options carefully. Also, your sphere of business is important here. Your wordmark should work with your work area. A restaurant will need a different identity than an engineering company. Our imaginary company, Tomato Rice Enterprises, is a consulting business. So we’ll go for something which is confident yet understated. So let’s explore. Some very nice options here, but let’s scroll down a little more and see if we can find something better.

In the previous part of this Presentation Management series of posts, we explored how you can organize content for story presentations. In this part, we look at how the presentations of the future will work.

If you think about it, over the past century humans have been forced to adapt to technology and the structure it creates. It’s not “normal” to work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or write by typing on a QWERTY keyboard. Presentations are another example. We create linear slide decks, then conform our work conversations to the deck because that’s the way the technology works, by showing us one slide at a time, in order. It’s not the way we’d naturally talk and discuss a topic, but if we want to use technology, we have to do it technology’s way.

In this century, technology is increasingly conforming to the way humans do things. Like, we can talk to our devices instead of tapping on a tiny screen. Presentations are moving that way, too. In fact, it is the biggest change in the nature of business presentations since the advent of PowerPoint. For the first time, the technology and the linear presentation deck will no longer dictate the conversation and interaction.

Instead, the conversation will dictate the presentation. Thanks to voice recognition and artificial intelligence, the next generation of presentation technology will listen to what’s being said, comprehend the context in the room, know what visual content is available in the approved presentation management system, and automatically and instantly bring up visuals that fit the conversation at that moment. It’s almost like having a personal assistant at your side, listening and watching the room, and instantly finding and showing images that are exactly what’s needed in-the-moment.
