UNESCO proclaimed the day in 1999 and it has been observed since 2000, to promote linguistic diversity and mother-tongue education; the date recalls the language movement of 1952 in what is now Bangladesh.

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed on 16 September 1987, and the General Assembly later fixed that date as the ozone day.

The Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme began the observance in 1989, taking the date from Five Billion Day, 11 July 1987, when the world’s population was estimated to have crossed five billion; the United Nations Population Fund now leads the campaign.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization proclaimed the day in 1966, and it was first observed in 1967; UNESCO also leads International Mother Language Day on 21 February and World Teachers’ Day on 5 October.

The General Assembly declared the day in 2007 and set it on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, so that the date honours the leader whose method of non-violent resistance the resolution names.

WHO became a specialised agency of the United Nations on 7 April 1948, and the first World Health Day was observed in 1950; the organisation announces a theme for the day each year and its headquarters are at Geneva.

The General Assembly established the day after the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment of 1972, and it has been observed since 1974 under the lead of the UN Environment Programme, with a different country hosting the main event each year.

On this date in 1945 the Charter of the United Nations came into force, after the required majority of signatory states had ratified it, and the General Assembly called upon members to observe the anniversary from 1948.

The second International Day of Yoga fell in 2016, the year after the first observance of 2015, and the theme tied yoga to the Sustainable Development Goals that the United Nations had adopted in 2015, with the main event held at Chandigarh.

The Print pane of PowerPoint offers handout layouts of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9 slides per page, so nine is the largest number, and the 3-slide layout is the one that leaves ruled lines beside the slides for the audience to write on.

A template stores the theme, masters, layouts and sample content that new presentations are started from, and its extension in the current format is.potx; the older format used.pot.

The slide master holds the formatting that every slide built on it inherits — title font, body font, bullet style, background, colour scheme and the position of a logo — so one edit there updates the whole deck.

Shift + F5 is the "play from here" key, and it saves a presenter from running through a long deck while checking one slide.

Animations act on the objects of a slide — text, shapes, pictures, charts, SmartArt — and fall into four groups: Entrance, Emphasis, Exit and Motion Paths.
