II. Use JPG picture to insert into PowerPoint

The use of pictures in PowerPoint is necessary and unavoidable. However, do you know how to insert pictures in the right way? Instead of copying the image and pasting into the slide that will cause the inserted picture to be in PNG format, which will often make the file heavier.
Therefore, if you want to insert a picture, please convert it to JPG format, which helps to reduce the picture size, and you should not copy paste but Insert with the Picture tool.

AutoRecover is a feature that automatically saves your work, in case the computer suddenly has problems or loses power. This is a useful feature and a lifesaver, so I only recommend turning them off when necessary.

Go to tab Save. Next, uncheck the box Save AutoRecover information every in the Save presentations section and uncheck the box Embed fonts in the file in the Preserve fidelity when sharing this presentation section. Click OK to save the changes.
