Adding pictures, SmartArt, charts, sounds, and even video clips on your slides can make your presentation interesting. Still, it is difficult to even imagine a presentation with no text at all. Nothing conveys a message easier than text, and even pictures do need captions in the form of text. In PowerPoint, several slide objects can include text such as text placeholders, text boxes, shapes, tables, SmartArt, charts, etc. In this tutorial though, we are exploring only selecting and changing the text within text placeholders, text boxes, and shapes.

When a picture has been inserted, you might want to make adjustments to the picture itself so that it looks distinctive and focused. You can change a picture’s look by re-sizing, cropping, changing color values, adjust saturation, or by applying artistic effects. In this tutorial, we’ll explore the options available within PowerPoint to make these picture adjustments. When a picture is selected, the Picture Tools Format tab appears on the Ribbon.
Explore various Adjust Picture options available in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows.

These easy to use, ready-made frame corners are already placed in PowerPoint slides. Use these to make your pictures look different and stand apart. These frame corners have been provided in two variations – black and white. Both variations are contained within two separate slides in one presentation that you can download. Copy and paste individual frame corners over the pictures on your slide. First, position the copied frame corner properly on the top-left corner of your picture, then duplicate and rotate it and use for the other three corners.
Download and use these frame corners in your slides.

Unintentionally, this issue seems to have become a Handmade Slides special! First of all, you have three sticky tape variations to download and use on your slides. We also have a tutorial on adding a transparent texture to your slide backgrounds — of course, the textures themselves have been made available to all of you. And then I walk you all though Super Themes, one of my favorite features for PowerPoint 2013. You get a few more frame corners to add to pictures on your slides. There are more tutorials — learn about text transforms in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows. And if you are a PowerPoint for Mac user, learn about working with bulleted and numbered lists.
