Some hints and tips for Microsoft powerpoint training

Taken from our PowerPoint hints and tips page.

Text in an AutoShape

To insert text within an Autoshape, just start typing once the shape has been drawn. To wrap the text, double-click the shape and turn on Word Wrap Text in Autoshape in the Text Box tab.

Saving a Drawn Object as a picture

If you want to reuse an object that you have drawn, you can save it so that it is added to the Clip Organiser. Right click the object, choose Save as Picture, give it a file name and place it in the relevant location.

Creating perfectly symmetrical shapes in PowerPoint

Are you a perfectionist when it comes to drawing shapes in PowerPoint?

If you hold down the Shift key whilst drawing a shape from the Drawing toolbar, you can create perfectly symmetrical circles and squares; and perfectly straight lines.

Embedding fonts in a presentation

If you create a PowerPoint presentation which is likely to be viewed on other computers, there can be problems with displaying the font/s you have used in your presentation when it is opened on other machines.

You can embed the fonts you use in your presentation in order to try and get around this issue.

When you go to save your presentation (File - Save as), go to the Tools button at the top of the Save As dialogue box and select Save Options. Under 'Font options for current document only', tick the Embed TrueType fonts option, then select the secondary option underneath that applies best to your situation.
Click OK, then Save.
