Or, maybe you need your coworker to come to a majority decision and settle a (hopefully friendly) dispute.

What is Microsoft Sway, and What Can I Do with It? As part of Microsoft’s push towards cloud and mobile apps, it has invested in several cloud-only additions to the old Office apps with which you’re familiar. One of these is Sway, a friendlier alternative to PowerPoint. Why Does Microsoft Need a PowerPoint Alternative? If you’ve ever worked in an office environment, you most likely associate PowerPoint with shiny-suited salespeople and managers with no public speaking skills. That’s not entirely fair, because you can produce brilliant presentations in PowerPoint. But, life isn’t fair, and PowerPoint is a big, heavy, corporate tool with a matching reputation.

It is possible to ‘rearm’ the trial version of the software five times – essentially giving you six 30-day trial periods, or 180 days in total. While there are various tools that can be downloaded that can d...
