Let’s say you have used a Fade animation for a slide object, and now you want to use a Wipe animation instead. It’s been observed that most of the time, users may remove an animation and apply another one rather than changing one animation into another. This may be because, in PowerPoint 2016, there is no particular option within the interface that changes the animation. But there is still a very easy one-click operation to change an existing animation to another one, as you will learn in this tutorial. The need to change an animation may arise for several reasons.

Basically, Themes are like a style sheet for your Office documents. They define how your text appears, where it appears, and also the layouts of your slides. Themes also influence how charts look within Excel and PowerPoint, and also how your tables appear in all Office programs. You can also change the Theme for an Office document, sheet, or slide and watch how this simple task can change the overall appearance of your content.

All slides within PowerPoint are based on one of the available Slide Layouts. These layouts can be chosen when you add a new slide or you can even change the layout of your existing slides. Each of these layouts offers a different look for your slide, and the layout you choose for any particular slide will depend upon the type of slide you are creating or editing. While these available layouts seem to cover most types of slides, you may sometimes want to create a new layout based on your individual requirements.

Enabling Guides for your presentation slides helps ensure that your objects are easily aligned, and also in the same relative position in successive slides. But just enabling Guides is more like getting started. There’s so much more you can do, such as customizing the Guides themselves using hierarchical options. PowerPoint 2016 also lets you work with Guides on a higher hierarchical level within the Slide Master and individual Slide Layouts. Depending on whether you added Guides within the Slide Master, an individual Slide Layout, or even a normal slide, your Guides are color-coded for easy identification.
