By default, the Personalized Menus feature is turned on in PowerPoint. When you open a menu, only a few of the available commands appear. PowerPoint monitors your usage, and if you've used a certain command before, it's on that short, initial list. The rest of the commands appear after a few seconds, or when you click the down arrow at the bottom of the menu.
The figures in this book have this personalized menu feature turned off to avoid inconsistency between the book's pictures and your screen. To follow along more closely with the figures in this book, we recommend that you turn this feature off, too.
