Quickly Align or Distribute Objects in PowerPoint
If you frequently use objects on your slides, you may find that it's hard to manually align or distribute the objects perfectly by dragging them around the slide. If you need to align objects, use the Align command. While holding down the [Shift] key, select the multiple objects you wish to align. Then, from the Drawing toolbar, choose Draw/Align or Distribute, and then choose the desired alignment option from the menu. You can also distribute objects horizontally or vertically.

Create Oval Pictures in Word, Excel and PowerPoint

4. Click the Select Picture button and find the photo you want to use.
5. Double-click the file; click OK and your picture will fill the center of your oval shape.
6. You can then move and resize the picture just like any graphic.

Navigate Between Slides in PowerPoint
When working with a lengthy slide show, most people scroll back and forth through the slides, using the mouse. An easier way to move to the first or last slide very quickly is to press Ctrl-Home to go to the first slide in the show, or press Ctrl-End to go to the last slide. You can also navigate through a slide show using the Page Up and Page Down keys.
