Thanks. Sophia, do you do a lot of PowerPoint?

Yes, although I am mostly using my University approved template. You can pick my brain if you wish!

I am also OK with converting Keynotes to Powerpoint and vice versa, because we have an iPad initiative, with all non apple products in the classroom!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I did my presentation today using Google Slides, in case that is a viable option.

Also agreeing on the Century Gothic, though Futura could work in a pinch.

I am using Google Slides -t, I am hoping it works since it is a free and easy option.

Thanks Matt et all, I have changed it to Century Gothic.

The office I am doing this for is using PP 2013, so if anyone is using that specifically that could be a tester for me that would be great. I'd send you a file saved as a PP and then a link to the Google Slide and would want you to open them to make sure they match - that what I am creating in Google looks exactly the same when opened in PP 2013.

so anal, I am so anal.

Coding and Sleeping

Wish I could be helpful, but my only experience with Powerpoint is working on code to convert Powerpoint files to other formats.

I'm starting to wonder if it may be reaching the time to replace my car. I got it for $6,600 when it was 4 years old and had 95,000 miles on it. Now it's 13 years old and has 270,000 miles on it. I was hoping it would make it to 300,000 miles, but the engine doesn't sound quite right, the stereo I installed a few years ago has a couple of issues, the steering doesn't feel quite right, I'm getting near time to replace the brake pads, the power steering pump is starting to make noise, and there are a couple other minor issues. When I had the clutch replaced about 20,000 miles ago (which I think was the original clutch!) I had decided that was the last time I wanted to put money into it.

I sort of want to get a nice car this time around, not that my current car wasn't pretty nice when I got it, but my last four cars have been an old Ford Escort, an old Ford Tempo, an old and tiny Honda Hatchback, and a non-too-old Ford Focus. Maybe something only a couple years old and without a lot of miles that was 20-30k when new. Getting another year or two from my current car would make that easier.

There's also Libreoffice, they've put a lot of work into improving Office file compatibility in the latest versions. Is exporting to PDF as a backup an option?

What is even happening?

Maria and Pix are the birthday twins today! It is more than a double delight that these two examples of awesomeness get to share their birthday. Happy birthday!!

I'm always a day late and a dollar short. Happy belated birthday, Maria and Pix.

it wasn't with Yang, but as of today Deval is also out, so yes. all white.

I always try to block her out too, but Tulsi is still in.

I'm scared of the poodle that just won best in show: >[link]

They had Siba on The View, yesterday, It's political opinions were, unsurprisingly, more nuanced and well-informed than those of Meghan McCain.

Having a dog like Siba would awaken all my image demons. Imagine sitting around in your own damned home, in your sweats, and the fanciest creature on God's green earth walks in and looks at you like, "Cindy, you don't even try. You disgust me." And she says it in a French accent, because poodle.

Time magazine has a video featurette on her, but it's not well-lit, imo. Black dogs need different lighting to photograph well. [link]

I have Powerpoint 16, msbelle, but I can see if I can open your slides in it if you like.
