Irregular Shapes for PowerPoint: 09

Yes, geometrically perfect shapes make your slides look clean and organized, but at the same time they also make them look like any other slide. You do want your slides to look different? Or do you want them to appear monotonous? And of course, shapes with hand drawn look can make your slides more human and lively. What if you could make all shape segments in your slides curved, slanted, and natural looking – as if they are hand-drawn? Won’t that look more organic? If you agree, then you will certainly love these new irregular shapes for PowerPoint.

Download and use these shapes in your slides.

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Copying Text Attributes With Format Painter

PowerPoint 2013’s Format Painter option does an absolutely amazing job of copying all the formatting attributes from one slide object to another. For instance, you can copy all attributes of a shape (and even the text that the shape contains) to another shape, text box, or even a text placeholder. However, this is an all-or-nothing option. Sometimes, you may want to just copy the text formatting attributes, without copying the shape fill or any of the other shape attributes.

Learn how to use the Format Painter to copy text attributes in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows.
