Force your slides to fit your numbering scheme (Microsoft PowerPoint 2000/2002/2003/2004)
When you're responsible for just a portion of a group presentation, you may not want your first slide to be Slide 1. For example, if the first presenter has a 10-slide presentation and you're the second presenter, you can start your slide show with slide 11.
To change your slide numbering so it starts with another number, choose File | Page Setup from the menu bar. Then, in the resulting Page Setup dialog box, adjust the value in the Number Slides From spin box to the number you want your first slide to be and click OK.
You can see your changes by looking at the slide numbers in the Slide, Normal, or Slide Sorter views.
Drag and drop color (InDesign 2/CS)
It seems so obvious, but it's easy to forget that InDesign allows us to drag and drop colors defined in the Swatches palette to page items. We can even format table cells and cell borders this way.
Simply display the Swatches palette ([F5]) and drag a color from the Swatches palette to the item. Make sure the Hand icon with the plus sign (+) is directly over the area you want to color. Then, release your mouse button to apply it. For multiple applications, click the Eyedropper tool on the item to sample its stroke and fill attributes. Then, click on the target items to format them similarly.
Offer alternative content to users with scripting disabled (FrontPage 2000/2002/2003)
If you use JavaScript or VBScript to power important features on your site, you need to think carefully about how users with scripting disabled will--or won’t--interact with your site. One approach is to offer alternative content for those users with the <noscript> tag.
Immediately after the scripting-reliant code on a page, add the following:
<noscript>
<!-- HTML code goes here //-->
</noscript
