RE: Powerpoint

Hi Jane

Thank you for your question. Sorry about the delay in replying, I was away from work sick on Friday and Monday.

You can put text on top of a picture by inserting your picture, then creating a text box and placing the text box on top of the picture.

You can create a text box using the text box tool from the Drawing toolbar (it is located to the right of the oval/circle drawing tool). Once you have selected the text box tool, bring your mouse onto your slide, hold down the left mouse button and drag diagonally to create a text box. Once it has been created, you will be able to type directly into the box. To resize the text box, use the white circle handles on the edge of it.

Drag the text box on top of the picture to position it. If the text box disappears behind the picture, right-click on top of the picture and go to Order and then select Send Backward.

If the text box is white and you'd like to remove the colour from the text box, click on the edge of the text box to select it and then use the Fill colour (paint bucket) button on the toolbar and select No Fill to remove the colour.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

 

Powerpoint tip:

Reduce PowerPoint file sizes

In PowerPoint, images often take up a lot of space which can lead to difficulties when it comes to emailing files. Luckily PowerPoint does contain some tools to help deal with this issue.

1. Disable the Fast Save feature - so that any changes you make will be immediately reflected in the file size. Go to Tools > Options > Save and deselect 'Allow fast saves'.

2. PowerPoint has an inbuilt compression tool, which is located on the Picture Toolbar.

If the Picture toolbar is not visible on your screen, go to View > Toolbars > Picture.

To compress or reduce the size of a picture, select the picture then click the Compress Pictures button on the Picture Toolbar. You can also right-click on a picture to access the option to compress it.
