  • When you present with PowerPoint 2013, your audience can see the animation, transition, or video playing in slide show view. However, you can only see a static image in presenter view.

  • You cannot use VBA object model to open a password protected presentation in PowerPoint 2013.

  • When you select Erase All Ink on Slide from the Pointer Options to delete all ink on a slide in slide show view in PowerPoint 2013, not all ink is deleted.
