Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Transparency for Shape Outlines

Shape Outlines such as solid colors and gradients have a transparency attribute that lets you reduce the opacity of a line so that the slide object or background behind shows through. Transparency is calculated in percentages and you can change its value all the way from 0 to 100%. Changing this transparency is useful when you want to show a line that represents something different than a line that has no transparency. For example, you could connect two shapes with a line that’s not transparent to represent an existing relationship – and then use a semi-transparent line to link between two shapes that represents a non-existent or upcoming relationship.

Learn how to apply transparency to Shape Outlines in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows.

PowerPoint and Presenting News: January 13, 2015

We begin with our new graphics collection ob Bulbs — something that you can use as an analogy in so many ways. We then bring you Jigsaws, and these will help you create your own slide visuals too. And many times, both bulbs and jigsaws may appear clichéd, unless you use them as just one part of your entire graphic? To give you an idea, put a bulb within a human head graphic, and it has another meaning. Add it within a book, and the significance changes. We then explore recording video in Adobe Presenter, an eLearning add-in for PowerPoint. And then we bring you some tutorials on working with fonts, themes, and bulleted lists within PowerPoint 2013 for Windows.

And don’t miss the new discussions and templates of this week!

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Use Dingbats and Other Characters as Bullets

PowerPoint provides you with umpteen options to change the appearance of your bullet points — you can change the bullet styles, format the bullet size and its color, and use pictures as bullets. In addition, you can use a character from any font, including dingbats as a bullet. So what are dingbats? Dingbats are fonts which contain decorative symbols rather than alphabets and numbers. Wingdings is a good example of a dingbats font since it is installed by default on all computers.
