Thank you ... admire your work! PS " … action buttons ... some already to select, but I don't like their design … so I would rather create a custom shape … " - WHAT??? ... SHOCKING!!!

    Oh well, you caught me. Although I have been using PowerPoint throughout my corporate career and thought I know the tricks, but since I started watching your videos, I had to learn that I was so wrong. These are all tasks (link to other slides, compress pictures, remove background) I performed regularly, but mostly using other apps. Thank you so much for your videos, and I will certainly have a closer look at Excel. Since I am running my own business, I don’t have specialists readily available to do a VLOOKUP (or similar) for me and must figure out functions, queries etc. myself. 😉
