How can I activate and utilize the Microsoft PowerPoint Designer feature for enhanced sales enablement presentations?

Activating and utilizing Microsoft PowerPoint’s Designer feature is a straightforward process that can greatly enhance your sales enablement presentations. This feature uses artificial intelligence to provide you with curated slide designs based on the content of each slide. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to activate and use this feature:

1. Open your Microsoft PowerPoint application. Make sure you’re logged into your Office 365 account which is required to access the Designer feature.
2. Navigate to the “File” tab at the top left corner of the screen and select “Options”.
3. In the “Options” dialog box, click on “General”.
4. Scroll down to the “PowerPoint Designer” section. Check the box that says “Automatically show me design ideas” to activate the Designer feature.
5. Click “OK” to save your settings and close the dialog box.
6. Now, whenever you add a new slide or update content on an existing one, the Designer pane will automatically open on the right side of your screen and provide you with design suggestions.
7. Click on a design idea to apply it to your slide. Remember, the suggestions are based on the content of your slide, so the more detailed your content, the better the design suggestions will be.

While Microsoft PowerPoint’s Designer feature can significantly improve the visual impact of your sales presentations, it’s also important to remember that a good presentation is more than just aesthetically pleasing slides. It should also tell a compelling story, clearly convey your message, and engage your audience.
