Apply Soft Edges to Shapes in PowerPoint 2007 for Windows

We have already explored a few of the effects that PowerPoint 2007 allows to be used on shapes, and that’s the reason they are called Shape Effects. Soft Edges are one of these effects, and we’ll look at what you can do with Soft Edges, which adds an eaten-up, feathered edge to a selected shape. Soft Edges work best with larger shapes, especially if you use some of the larger Soft Edge variations available. PowerPoint provides some ready-to-use Soft Edges, but there is no option to format Soft Edges beyond these readymade offerings.

One Picture May Be Worth A Thousand Headaches

Pictures make presentations work. But the most interesting and compelling images aren’t generally found in free clipart galleries. So you comb the Internet, looking for just the right image to convey your message. Click-cut-paste. You’ve got it!

While you may have “it”, that “it” is more than likely the copyright-protected work of a photographer or designer. Even for department presentations, sales presentations, training materials, and other internal business purposes, the use of images without the proper permission and rights is a serious issue, and may constitute a breach of the creator’s copyright. Guest author John Billington has lots of info to share with you on this interesting topic.

John Billington explains why free images may not be necessarily free or even copyright free.
