115 tips frequently used in PPT

1. quick and flexible change of Image Color: using PowerPoint to make a presentation courseware, inserting beautiful clip art will increase the color of your courseware a lot, but not all the clip art meets your requirements, especially when the color of the clip art is not properly matched, you can right-click the clip art and select the "display 'image' toolbar" option. (This operation is not required if the image toolbar is automatically displayed) then, click the "recolor image" button on the "image" toolbar to change any color of the image in the subsequent dialog box.
2. Add more unrecoverable operands. All office users know that the "edit" and "undo" command (CTRL-z) can undo the last step. If you click the drop-down arrow next to the "undo" icon, you can also revoke several operations to return to the previous working state. By default, PowerPoint allows you to cancel up to 20 operations, but you can actually increase this limit to 150. Select "Tools" and "options", and then click the "edit" tab. In the "undo" area, enter the value you want (from 3 to 150) in the "Maximum number of cancelable operations" field, and click "OK" to exit. Note that when you increase the maximum number of cancelable operations for PowerPoint, the PC memory occupied by it also increases.
3. reuse your previous work. If you have already done the same or similar slides in the previous presentations, you can use the previous results in the new presentation without having to start from the beginning. You can insert slides from previous presentations into the current presentation. First, the current presentation is displayed in the slide view. Click the position where you want to insert a new slide, and select "insert" and "slide from file" in the menu to open a "slide searcher" dialog box (3 ). On the "Search for presentations" tab, enter the file name (or find it in browsing mode), and press Enter. Click the slide you want to insert, and then press the insert button. In addition, you can click "insert all" to insert all slides in the presentation into the current document at a time.
4. Make the clip art flexible to change the color after you insert the clip art in the presentation. If you find that the color combination is unreasonable, you will definitely select "picture" in the toolbar and "picture coloring ". It looks good at first glance, but the problem comes as soon as it is changed. For example, if you want to change a part of the painting to black, it changes all the black to red, which is too dull. What should I do? You can do this:
(1) Select the clip art. (2) Click "Drawing" in the Drawing toolbar ". (3) Click "cancel combination". A dialog box "this is an input object..." appears ......". (4) Click "OK", and you will see a selected one to multiple selected ones. (5) click in the selected blank area. (6) Select the part of the object you want to change (some can be further decomposed ). (7) Click "fill" in the Drawing toolbar and select the desired color. In this way, you can change the color more flexibly.
5. if you do not want to rotate the angle or flip the clip art in the presentation, or you do not want to flip the clip art in the direction, the command of PowerPoint is not activated, so you cannot use it, really angry. Don't worry. I have a little bit of tips to keep you satisfied. 1. Select the clip art. 2. Click "Drawing" in the Drawing toolbar ". 3. Click "cancel combination". A dialog box "this is an input object..." appears ......". 4. Click "OK". Then, multiple selections are displayed. 5. Click "Drawing combination" in the Drawing toolbar ". After these five steps, you can use the relevant commands as you like.
6. Make the two images at the same time the animation effect of PowerPoint is more interesting, there are many options, but limited to the animation order, the inserted picture can only be one action. If you have two images, one left, one right, or one up and one down, moving them to the middle at the same time, this is hard to do. There are still some solutions: 1. Arrange the final position of the two images, press the "shift" key, and select the two images. 2. Click "Drawing" in the Drawing toolbar ". 3. Click "Combination ". In this way, the two images are selected. 4. then select "play Animation" in "time" in "animation effect", and select "Left and Right to shrink in the middle" (or another three items) in "effect" to meet the requirements.
7. insert MP3 music: "insert audio in a video or audio file" in PowerPoint does not support MP3 music, but if you need MP3 music, you can set a shortcut as follows: 1. click Insert object ". 2. In the insert object dialog box, select create by file ". 3. Click Browse to specify the path of the MP3 file. 4. Click OK ". 5. after the file is inserted, in the "animation effect" settings, in addition to "time" and "effect", select "Play Set object action activation content" (mp3 player is required in the system ).
8. six convenient keyboard shortcuts: You can use the view buttons in the lower left corner of the screen to display different view statuses (normal view, slide view, and slide show). However, I'm afraid you don't know that using the keyboard with the view button can have a completely different effect. For example, if you click the "normal view" button, you can press the Shift key to switch to the "slide master View". Click the "normal view" button again (without the Shift key) you can switch back. If you press the Shift key when you click the "slide View" button, you can switch to "handout master View ". In addition, you can also display the thumbnail of the slides in the upper left corner of the screen, so that you can preview the results during editing. To achieve this, you need to go to "normal view" and select the first slide to be displayed. Press ctrl and click "Slide Show. You can click the slide thumbnail to change the slice, just like when you show the full screen slides. If you want more options, press Ctrl-shift and then press different view buttons: CTRL-shift-"normal view" button will close the tag area and remarks page on the left side, and expand the slides to available space. Press ctrl-shift-"slide View" to display the presentation in outline mode. Press ctrl-shift-"Slide Show" to open a "set display mode" dialog box.
9. Import the document. If the text you want to input in the presentation already exists in the Word file, you do not need to manually enter it again. You can open the Word file directly in PowerPoint. You may need to adjust the format of the imported document, but it is much easier than manually entering the text. Tip: if the original Word file uses the outline title, the import effect is the best. Select "file" and "open" in PowerPoint ". In the open dialog box, click the drop-down arrow on the right of the file type and select "all files ". Double-click the Word document you want to open in PowerPoint. It will be opened just like opening a new presentation.
10. Output Data to Word documents. Sometimes you need to distribute the presentation to colleagues or customers in the form of text. It is best to output the presentation as a Word document. In PowerPoint, select "file", "send", and "Microsoft Word ". In the send to Microsoft Word dialog box, select the layout you want to use in Microsoft Word. For example, you can select "only outline" to create a document with only text; select "Empty rows beside slides" to create a series of Slide thumbnails with comments. After you select the layout, click "OK" to send the presentation to word.
