More Gradients in PowerPoint 2016 for Windows

(No Ratings Yet)

Add a gradient fill to your shape, and you may run into limitations!

While this sort of restraint does keep your slides looking consistent and aesthetic, they also prevent you from playing more with gradients. To play more, you must choose the More Gradients option — this option leads you to a detailed gradient editor that’s capable of making changes to the gradient type, direction, angle, color, etc. In this tutorial, we explain these extra gradient options available within PowerPoint 2016.
