objects with the same color as something that\u2019s already on the slide.<\/p><p>For example, let\u2019s say I have a hat, which I\u2019d like to match to the rest of my outfit. \u00a0All I have to do is go to \u2018shape fill\u2019 select the Eyedropper, then select my jacket to pick up the color.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint

Dropper 1\" width=\"801\" height=\"411\" data-id=\"6542\" \/><\/p><p>Now click on the hat to make the fill match my jacket color. \u00a0Nice \u2013 a perfectly matching outfit, thanks to the eyedropper!<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #2 - Eye Dropper 2\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PowerPoint-2013-Upgrade-2-Eye-Dropper-2.jpg\" alt=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #2 - Eye Dropper 2\" width=\"221\" height=\"229\" data-id=\"6543\" \/><\/p><h3>Feature #3: Animation preview<\/h3><p>You can now preview your animations in a variety of ways. \u00a0One of my videos, for example, shown below, has several animation sequences in a row.<\/p><p>If I want to show just one of those sequences, I can highlight a portion of the animations in the Animation Pane and hit Play Selected.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #3 - Animation Preview Option 1\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PowerPoint-2013-Upgrade-3-Animation-Preview-Option-1.jpg\" alt=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #3 - Animation Preview Option 1\" width=\"780\" height=\"356\" data-id=\"6539\" \/><\/p><p>I can also see the entire thing starting from a certain place. \u00a0For example, I could highlight Picture 2 below and then click Play From.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #3 - Animation Preview Option 2\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PowerPoint-2013-Upgrade-3-Animation-Preview-Option-2.jpg\" alt=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #3 - Animation Preview Option 2\" width=\"780\" height=\"322\" data-id=\"6540\" \/><\/p><p>The really cool new feature though is the ability to preview your motion paths so that you can see where your animations will end.<\/p><p>Let me show you an example\u2026 let\u2019s say I have a ball that I\u2019d like to toss to my other hand. \u00a0When I create the motion path, I have to make sure that the ball will land exactly into my other hand \u2013 and the preview feature can help me do that.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #3 - Animation Preview Option 3\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PowerPoint-2013-Upgrade-3-Animation-Preview-Option-3.jpg\" alt=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #3 - Animation Preview Option 3\" width=\"426\" height=\"325\" data-id=\"6541\" \/><\/p><h3>Feature #4: Expanded picture fill options<\/h3><p>There are now expanded options for picture fills, which I really like. \u00a0As an example, here\u2019s a regular picture of a cat along with a rectangle, which we\u2019ll fill in with a picture of a cat so that we can get additional benefits (as opposed to having a plain image).<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #4 - Expanded Picture Options 1\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PowerPoint-2013-Upgrade-4-Expanded-Picture-Options-1.jpg\" alt=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #4 - Expanded Picture Options 1\" width=\"613\" height=\"325\" data-id=\"6530\" \/><\/p><p>One new feature is that if you go to, \u2018shape fill\u2019 and \u2018picture\u2019 option, you can now search directly on Bing for picture fills, although you\u2019re just limited to the Creative Commons pictures.<\/p><p>I\u2019m not a huge fan of this feature personally (I can just Google in a separate window, if needed), but some people may find it useful.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #4 - Expanded Picture Options 2\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PowerPoint-2013-Upgrade-4-Expanded-Picture-Options-2.jpg\" alt=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #4 - Expanded Picture Options 2\" width=\"813\" height=\"457\" data-id=\"6531\" \/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #4 - Expanded Picture Options 2.2\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PowerPoint-2013-Upgrade-4-Expanded-Picture-Options-2.2.jpg\" alt=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #4 - Expanded Picture Options 2.2\" width=\"661\" height=\"235\" data-id=\"6535\" \/><\/p><p>The other option that I really like is if you go to the \u2018shape styles\u2019 menu, you can scroll down and paste a picture directly from the clipboard so you don\u2019t have to save anything to your computer first, which eliminates a lot of clutter on your hard drive.<\/p><p>Copy the cat to your clipboard so that you can use it as a picture fill in your rectangle. \u00a0Click on Shape Styles, then Picture or Texture Fill, then click on Clipboard.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #4 - Expanded Picture Options 3 Picture fill\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PowerPoint-2013-Upgrade-4-Expanded-Picture-Options-3-Picture-fill.jpg\" alt=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #4 - Expanded Picture Options 3 Picture fill\" width=\"694\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"6532\" \/><\/p><p>Now the two pictures look exactly the same, but the one on the right has the advantage in that I can change the transparency level and tile the picture.\u00a0 Let\u2019s do a fun trick with the tile feature.<\/p><p>So go to Shape options, make sure the transparency level is set to zero, then tile the picture as a texture.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #4 - Expanded Picture Options 4\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PowerPoint-2013-Upgrade-4-Expanded-Picture-Options-4.jpg\" alt=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #4 - Expanded Picture Options 4\" width=\"730\" height=\"330\" \/><\/p><p>The tiling gives us a bunch of little kitty faces. \u00a0After tiling, I can create a text mask that says CAT and then paste it over the tiled picture.<\/p><p>See how to make the mask in this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com\/spicypresentations\/motion-text-effect-in-powerpoint\/\">Moving Text post<\/a>.<\/p><p>A little bit silly, but this illustrates how a picture fill gives you more options than just a regular picture.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #4 - Expanded Picture Options 5\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PowerPoint-2013-Upgrade-4-Expanded-Picture-Options-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"409\" data-id=\"6536\" \/><\/p><h3>Feature #5: Merge shapes tool<\/h3><p>What else is new in PowerPoint 2013?<\/p><p>Well, while the Merge or Combine Shapes option was available in PowerPoint 2010 by activating it in the Ribbon customization menu, it is now easily seen and accessed directly from the\u00a0Ribbon (good job Microsoft!).<\/p><p>With objects or shapes selected, you can find this command under the Drawing Tools Format tab in your Ribbon.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"PowerPoint 2013 Upgrade #5 - Merge Shapes

this feature, you\u2019ll see some interesting objects shown, such as cars, keys, and various circular shapes.<\/p><p>I\u2019ve never seen anyone show a mask, though \u2013 so let me do it here.\u00a0
