Adding Images to Book
I love adding the images to a book and reworking the layout. A lot of it is trying something out and seeing if it looks good, then trying something different and seeing if you like it better!
The history's mysteries books are particularly fun to work with because you discover how many historic documents and artifacts have been photographed or digitized, and placed online with license to be used in books and websites!

    This is, by far, the most useful PowerPoint tutorial I've ever seen on this particular subject! When I would google how to flow info from Excel into PowerPoint, 98% of the time the results were explaining how to "Link" your spreadsheet data so that updates in excel would show up in PPT. I needed to figure out how to pull a list of 117 names from excel into a PowerPoint where each slide had ONE name, and I didn't want to have to manually cut and paste 117 times. Not only did you explain how to do what I needed to have done, you also explained it with a brevity and clarity that made learning how to complete my task sooooo easy. I can't thank you enough. I have both liked and subscribed. 🙂

      @@WaltonBurns Yes I did. I use master slides regularly and tried to change the font from the master slides and even refreshed the slide layout and it would change the other features, but not update the font itself. It's because when the slides area created, PP does not import them with a heading style even though they were assigned the heading style in word.

    7:22 What is the difference between the title statuses? When you're registering your book with us, it's important to understand the different title statuses you can assign to your book. Each status reflects a specific stage in the life cycle of a book. Here's an explanation of each: Active Record: This status indicates that your book is actively being published and is available for sale. It's the most common status for books that are currently in print and being distributed. Forthcoming: Use this status for books that are scheduled for publication in the future. It signifies that the book is not yet available, but will be published and released on a specific future date. Import to Order: This status is used for books that are not regularly stocked but can be ordered from another country or source. It’s common for specialized or international titles. Inactive: This indicates that the book is no longer being actively marketed or distributed, although it might still be available in some channels. It's not formally out of print, but it's not being actively promoted. No longer our product: Use this status if your book was previously available under your publishing company but is now being published and sold by a different publisher or entity. On Demand: This status is for books that are printed only when an order is received. It's commonly used in print-on-demand (POD) publishing. Out of Print: This means the book is no longer being printed and is not available for sale through regular channels. This status is typically used when the publisher decides not to reprint the book. Out of Stock Indefinitely: Similar to out of print, but it suggests there might be a possibility of the book coming back into stock, although there are no current plans for a reprint. Postponed: Use this for a book whose publication has been delayed. It differs from "Forthcoming" in that the book was meant to be published already but has been delayed for some reason. Publication Cancelled: This status is used when a book that was scheduled for release has been cancelled and will not be published at all. Recalled: This is a rare status used when a book is withdrawn from the market due to significant errors, legal issues, or safety concerns. Remaindered: This status indicates that the unsold inventory of the book is being sold off at a reduced price. It usually happens when a book is moving toward going out of print. Temporarily Withdrawn from Sale: This status is used for books that have been temporarily pulled from the market, possibly due to revisions, legal disputes, or other temporary issues. Unknown: This is used when the status of the book is not currently clear. It might be a placeholder status until more information is available. Unspecified: Similar to "Unknown," this status is used when the specific status of the book hasn't been determined or disclosed. Withdrawn: This indicates that the book has been permanently withdrawn from the market and is no longer available for sale.

    Namaste. This is what I was looking for. Thanks for making this video. However, font is posing an issue when it comes to Indic scripts. Fonts are working fine till the final word file. While creating the slides from outline, there is "?" symbol after every character in the text. I tried changing the font in the slide master and also by keeping the same font in Excel, Word and Powerpoint beforehand. I have to replace "?" symbols manually. This is okay only when the text does not already contain a "?" character. I shall highly appreciate any solution to this problem.
