📌 Why this matters
Adding lines transforms your slides from static information dumps into visual roadmaps that guide your audience's attention exactly where you want it. You can connect related concepts, create flowcharts, or emphasize key relationships between data points. Lines also serve as subtle design elements that break up text-heavy slides and create professional-looking diagrams without needing separate design software. This simple feature turns PowerPoint into a lightweight diagramming tool, letting you build everything from organizational charts to process flows directly within your presentation.
