I met with Echo Swinford, PowerPoint MVP extraordinaire, at PowerPoint Live. We talked about doing a screencast, but we were just too busy having fun to sit still long enough to make a video.

Thankfully, after Echo returned home she recorded a Camtasia Studio screencast on a little-known PowerPoint feature: Select multiple. Ever heard of it? I bet you haven’t – that’s why it’s her top PowerPoint tip.

“Select multiple” is a really handy feature when you need to select objects on slides that are hidden by other objects, or objects that so near others that they’re difficult to select individually.

Thank you so much, Echo, for your PowerPoint tip and Camtasia Studio video … video … video … (You didn’t think I’d close out without one reference to Echo’s name, did you?)
