Each person uses PowerPoint in a different way. The
General section of PowerPoint Options allows you to change popular
options to personalize what appears in the PowerPoint window. For
example, you can set options to show the Mini toolbar on selection,
enable live preview, change the PowerPoint window color scheme, and show
ScreenTips. In the Advanced section, you can set general options to
provide error indicators and show customer submitted Office.com content (New!)
in PowerPoint. When you change these options, PowerPoint uses them for
all subsequent PowerPoint sessions until you change them again.
