Dynamic capabilities in PowerPoint

About this article

This article is a high-level overview of the dynamic capabilities available for PowerPoint presentations.  Dynamic presentations for PowerPoint are built in the Master View and/or the Normal View in Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows: 

• Master view: dynamics will need to be created on shapes in the Master view and will not be editable by the end-user after the creation of the presentation.
• Normal view: dynamics will need to be created on shapes in the Normal view and will be editable by the end-user after the creation of the presentation.
