Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Picture Bullets

PowerPoint provides several bullet styles that you can choose from — but they do look a little canned since almost every PowerPoint slide these days uses the same bullet styles! You could get rid of bullets altogether and use small sentences/paragraphs instead, or maybe you could explore picture bullets — to insert any picture as your bullet. Of course, for picture bullets to work, your picture needs to be small, no larger than a medium-sized dot. And it helps if it has transparent areas. If all this talk about the size and transparency of a picture bullet makes you curious, don’t worry because we explain it all!

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Customize the Bullet Size and Color

While it is a great option to change bullet styles, sometimes you don’t want to really change just the bullet characters themselves. You might want to alter the size of the bullet character so that it is somewhat smaller or larger than the text before which it is placed. Or maybe you need a particular color to be used? Most of the time, the defaults actually work best — but just in case you want to make these changes, this is how you will go about the whole process in PowerPoint 2013.

Bulb Graphics for PowerPoint

Bulbs are a source of light, and are often used to denote bright ideas! In this set, we bring you not one or two, but ten variations of these bulbs. These bulb graphics can be used on their own, or also combined with other graphics such as a human head to create a larger concept or analogy! Each individual shape is a native PowerPoint shape that can be re-sized, rotated, or moved as required. You can also animate individual shapes as required. You can even change fills, lines, and effects or even apply Shape Styles.

Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Change Bullet Styles

People talk about how bullets can cause “death by PowerPoint” — and while that may be partially true, it certainly is not the complete truth — not everyone is the rush to abandon bullet points in their slides! The truth however is that too much of anything cannot be good and bulleted lists are almost the mainstay of PowerPoint slides these days. Most of PowerPoint’s slide layouts are already set up with placeholders for bulleted lists (or paragraphs) – so that when you start typing into a text placeholder, your text is automatically bulleted. Making some changes to how your bullets appear visually can make a subtle difference.
