Join David Rivers for an in-depth discussion in this video Using a digital signature, part of PowerPoint 2007 Essential Training.
- [Narrator] Earlier in this section,…we talked about protecting your presentations.…We could do that a couple of different ways.…There were passwords, for example, and restricting access.…Another way is to create a digital signature.…Really that's just a way for people and yourself…to authenticate the presentations…that you're sharing with others.…Now, a digital ID is needed…when you're going to use a digital signature.…You can get those online using partners, or create your own.…There are advantages to both.…Let's do that, we'll start by opening up a presentation.…
We'll go to the Office button here and down to Open.…From the Lesson 10 folder of your exercise files,…you're going to open up this one here, ECPReview10h.…Give that one a click and click Open.…Here's our presentation…that we're going to add a digital signature to.…The way you do that is to go to the Office button,…and we come down to Prepare.…You'll see that Add a Digital Signature is an option.…It's used to ensure the integrity of the presentation…

Q: In PowerPoint 2003 and earlier, I was able to set my spacing before and after a line by percentage. Now, in PowerPoint 2007, I can only change the spacing by point size. Setting a percentage of the font size for the spacing between paragraphs was ideal - if the font size changed the paragraph spacing changed with it. Is there a workaround that lets me size the before/after paragraph spacing by percentage?
A: This is a common complaint for PowerPoint users who were used to using the “lines” option for before and after spacing.
Unfortunately, there is no workaround to achieve the functionality that was available in PowerPoint 2003, and it has not even been rectified in PowerPoint 2010 (despite all the complaints). The only thing that comes close is to change the before and after settings to zero and use the Multiple option for line spacing, and then set it to the desired number of lines (e.g. 1.5). Because text is automatically sized to a best fit, most paragraphs will appear on a single line, with the selected line spacing figure in lines showing between the paragraphs. You may need to play with this one to get the right number for your scenario.
