如果您知道一些技巧和窍门,在PowerPoint(PowerPoint)中创建演示文稿会容易得多。我们已经向您展示了如何更改幻灯片的大小(how to change the size of your slides)、插入PDF、添加音乐(music),以及如何使您的 PowerPoint 更具吸引力(make your PowerPoint more engaging)。
无论您是创建PowerPoint演示文稿的新手还是专业人士,您都可以通过整合新的 PowerPoint 设计理念(new PowerPoint design ideas)来进一步改进。
1. 如何在PowerPoint中锁定图像(PowerPoint)
在PowerPoint(PowerPoint)演示文稿中锁定图像将防止图像的比例或纵横比失真或超出比例。
要在PowerPoint(PowerPoint)中锁定图像,请按照以下步骤操作:
- 右键单击(Right-click)图像并选择大小和位置(Size and Position)。
- 选中标有Lock aspect ratio的框。
也可以锁定图像或对象,使其根本无法调整大小或在幻灯片周围移动。大多数PowerPoint(PowerPoint)桌面版本可能缺少此功能。您也许可以右键单击图像、形状或对象,然后选择Lock。
如果您没有看到该选项,一种解决方法是将对象放入母版幻灯片中。要了解如何操作,请阅读如何在 PowerPoint 中编辑母版幻灯片(how to edit master slides in PowerPoint)。
2. 在 PowerPoint 中循环播放幻灯片
如果您计划连续运行PowerPoint幻灯片,您可以将幻灯片设置为循环播放,而不必手动重新启动它。
- 打开要循环播放的PowerPoint 。
- 选择幻灯片放映(Slide Show)选项卡。
- 选择设置幻灯片放映(Set Up Slide Show)按钮。
- 连续选中标记为循环的框,直到“Esc”。(Loop continuously until ‘Esc.’)
- 选择确定(OK)按钮。
您需要按Esc键来结束循环播放的PowerPoint演示文稿。单击卡片组中的最后一张幻灯片或按键盘上的右箭头键将导致幻灯片重新开始。
3. 如何缩小PowerPoint 的大小(Size)
(PowerPoint)如果您插入了高分辨率图像或媒体文件,PowerPoint文件可能会变大。我们提供了一些PowerPoint提示和技巧,可以帮助减小PowerPoint文件的大小。
- (Embed)通过在左侧菜单中 选择“文件(File)” > “选项(Options)” > “保存”,仅(Save)嵌入演示文稿中使用的字体字符。
- 如果您已选择在文件中嵌入字体,请选择仅嵌入演示文稿中使用的字符(Embed only the characters used in the presentation)选项。
- 删除(Delete)图像编辑数据。当您在PowerPoint中编辑图像时,它会保存原始图像和您编辑的版本。为了防止这种情况:
- 选择文件(File)>选项(Options)>高级(Advanced)。
- 在图像大小和质量(Image Size and Quality)下,选中标记为放弃编辑数据(Discard editing data)的框。
- 要进一步减小PowerPoint的大小,请取消选中标记为不要压缩文件中的图像(Do not compress images in file)的框,并为图像选择较低的默认分辨率。
- (Compress)通过选择幻灯片中的图像进一步 压缩图像。
- 在图片格式(Picture Format)选项卡中,选择压缩图片(Compress Pictures)按钮。您可以选择是对所有图像应用压缩选项还是仅对您选择的图片应用压缩选项。
- 选中标有删除图片裁剪区域(Delete cropped areas of pictures)的框,然后选择使用默认分辨率(Use default resolution)。按确定(OK)。
通过减小PowerPoint文件的大小,您可以使文件更易于存储和通过电子邮件发送。
4. 如何添加和打印 PowerPoint(Print PowerPoint)笔记
(Add)通过选择PowerPoint(PowerPoint)底部的“备注”按钮,(Notes)添加演讲者备注以帮助演示者记住在演示过程中要说的内容。键入一个脚本或几条笔记作为提醒。
要打印带有注释的演示文稿,请在“打印”对话框的“设置”部分中选择“(Settings)注释页”。(Notes Pages)
5. 如何编辑PowerPoint 背景(PowerPoint Backgrounds)
要使用PowerPoint(PowerPoint)桌面应用程序从幻灯片中添加、删除或编辑背景图形,您需要从“视图”(View )菜单中选择“幻灯片母版”。(Slide Master )然后,在左侧,选择幻灯片母版或其下方显示的布局之一:右键单击并选择设置背景格式(Format Background)。选中标有隐藏背景图形(Hide background graphics)的框。
如果您在浏览器中使用PowerPoint,您可能已经注意到没有幻灯片母版。当您使用在线版本时,您可以直接添加、删除或编辑幻灯片上出现的任何图形。
6. 如何链接到演示文稿中的另一张幻灯片
如果您预计由于时间限制需要跳过演示文稿的一部分或参考上一张幻灯片,则链接到同一演示文稿中的另一张幻灯片会很有帮助。就像添加超链接一样简单。
- 选择要用作链接的文本、图像或形状。
- 选择插入(Insert)>链接(Link)或右键单击并选择超链接(Hyperlink)。
- 在“插入超链接(Insert Hyperlink)”对话框的“链接到(Link to)”下,选择“置入本文档”(Place in This Document)。
- 选择(Choose)要链接到的幻灯片,然后按OK按钮。
7. 使用格式刷保持一致(Format Painter)
一致性是精心设计的PowerPoint演示文稿的标志。例如,幻灯片标题应该在整个卡片组中具有相同的颜色、字体和字体大小。使用格式刷可以快速轻松地标准化演示文稿中的所有标题和元素标签。
- 选择具有您喜欢的格式的内容。
- 在主页(Home)选项卡中,选择格式刷(Format Painter)。
- 接下来,选择其他内容,将自动应用第一个元素的格式。
简单的。要将格式应用于多个元素,请双击格式刷(Format Painter)并重复上面的步骤 #3,直到您已将格式应用于所需的所有元素。按Esc键停止使用格式刷(Format Painter)。
8. 使用 SmartArt 看起来很聪明
PowerPoint 的内置SmartArt功能将帮助您的演示文稿更上一层楼。使用SmartArt,您可以将简单、无聊的文本转换为引人入胜的图形。
- 选择要转换为图形的文本。
- 在主页(Home)选项卡上,选择转换为 SmartArt(Convert to SmartArt)。
- 选择您最喜欢的选项。当您将鼠标移到不同的选项上时,您会看到您的文本转换为该SmartArt(SmartArt)选项后的样子。
- 如果您想要一个允许您添加图片的SmartArt选项,请选择(SmartArt)更多 SmartArt 图形(More SmartArt Graphics)。
- 在左侧菜单中,选择图片(Picture)。
- 选择您最喜欢的选项。
- 选择确定(OK)按钮。
- 要添加图像,请选择SmartArt元素中的图像图标,然后选择是从计算机上的文件中插入图像,还是从Bing等在线资源中插入图像。
SmartArt画廊有许多选项可供选择。其中之一肯定会让您的幻灯片更具吸引力。
9.对齐你的对象
您已使用格式刷(Format Painter)确保您的格式在整个演示文稿中保持一致。当您使用它时,请确保使用 PowerPoint 的对齐(Align)工具完全对齐您的所有对象。
- 选择每个对象时按住 Shift 键(Shift)选择要对齐的对象。
- 在“格式(Format)”选项卡中,选择“对齐(Align)” 。
- 选择您希望所选对象如何对齐。
- 要均匀分布三个或更多对象,请选择对象,然后选择对齐(Align )并选择水平(Distribute Horizontally)分布或垂直分布(Distribute Vertically)。
有意识地了解幻灯片上的对象是如何对齐的,这对于制作具有专业外观的演示文稿大有帮助。
10.如何使用图片布局
当您使用包含一个或多个图像的幻灯片时,请尝试使用 PowerPoint 的内置图片布局(Layout)工具。它是用于图像的SmartArt 。
- 选择(Select)幻灯片上的所有图像(按住Shift可选择多个图像)。
- 在“图片工具(Picture Tools)”菜单中,选择“格式(Format)” > “图片布局”(Picture Layout)。
- 将鼠标悬停在选项上以找到您最喜欢的图片布局,然后选择它。
如果您决定不想使用图片布局(Layout),您可以通过选择“设计(Design)” > “转换(Convert)” > “转换为形状(Convert to Shapes)”(Shapes)将图像转换回“形状” 。
11. 保留幻灯片转换(Slide Transitions)
一旦您发现可以在幻灯片之间添加动画,您可能会很想尝试所有这些。但是,您应该记住PowerPoint演示文稿的基本规则:少即是多。如果您绝对必须使用过渡,请坚持使用Cut和Fade等简单的过渡。
- 选择一张幻灯片。
- 从“过渡(Transitions)”选项卡中,选择一个过渡。
- 如果可以为过渡选择其他设置,请选择效果选项。(Effect Options)
- 选择预览(Preview)以查看正在运行的过渡。
12. 明智地使用动画
在调整幻灯片过渡时,请确保您也明智地使用动画。为幻灯片上的文本或对象设置动画可以帮助您的演示文稿流畅,但过多的动画可能会分散注意力。辨别何时何地使用它们。
添加动画和效果:
- 选择要设置动画的文本或对象。
- 在动画(Animations)选项卡上,选择一个动画。
- 接下来,选择效果选项(Effect Options )以选择效果。请注意,效果(Effect) 选项(Options)将根据您选择的动画而有所不同。
您可以选择不同的方式来启动动画。在Animations选项卡的(Animations)Timing部分中,选择开始动画的时间。
- 点击时(On click)。当您单击幻灯片时,此选项将启动动画。
- 与以前(With previous)的 . 如果您希望动画与序列中的前一个动画同时播放,请选择此选项。
- 在上一个之后(After previous)。动画将在前一个结束后立即开始。
- 持续时间(Duration)。此选项允许您使效果持续时间更长或更短。
- 延迟(Delay)。在效果开始之前添加一些时间。
要更改动画播放的顺序:
- 选择(Select)幻灯片上的动画标记(或通过在“动画”选项卡的“(Animation )高级动画(Advanced Animation)”部分中选择“动画窗格(Animation Pane)”并在列表中选择一个动画来切换它。)
- 在Animation选项卡的(Animation)Timing部分中,选择Move Early(Move Earlier)或Move Later。
要将动画添加到一组对象:
- 按Ctrl并选择多个对象。
- 选择格式(Format)>组(Group )>组(Group )以创建组。
- 从“动画(Animations)”选项卡中选择一个动画。
如果您以正确的方式使用它们,动画可以使您的演示文稿更清晰,更容易让观众理解。
13. 亲吻
PowerPoint幻灯片在简单时最有效。当您在幻灯片中只包含最重要的信息时,您可以让人们更容易消化和记住您的信息。您总是可以就该主题说更多,但不要在幻灯片中包含超出您需要的内容。毕竟,您的听众应该多听而不是阅读。
14. 寻找高质量的模板(High Quality Templates)、图像(Images)和图形
当您保持简单时,这意味着使用看起来不错的图像和图形。我们收集了一些很棒的图片库网站(great stock photo sites)和地方来获得漂亮的 PowerPoint 模板(beautiful PowerPoint templates)。
15. 将演示文稿(Presentation)导出为视频
当您对演示文稿感到满意时,将其导出为视频:
- 选择文件(File )>导出( Export)。
- 选择创建视频(Create a video)。
- 选择视频质量以及是否使用录制的时间和旁白。
- 设置每张幻灯片的持续时间。
- 选择创建视频(Create Video)按钮。
- 导航到要保存视频文件的文件夹。
- 选择保存(Save)按钮。
通过实施这些提示和技巧,您的演示文稿将更上一层楼!
然而,尽管你已经学会了所有的技巧和窍门,你还是决定彻底放弃这个软件。如此多的PowerPoint演示文稿让观众昏昏欲睡,以至于我们现在有了一个术语:“死于PowerPoint ”。在这种情况下,告别Powerpoint,看看这七种(seven alternatives to PowerPoint)可以在线使用的 PowerPoint 替代品。
15 PowerPoint Tips & Tricks To Improve Your Presentations
Crеating a presentation in PowerPoint will be significantly easier if you know a few tіps and tricks. We’ve shоwn you how to change the size of your slides, insert a PDF, add music, and how to make your PowerPoint more engaging.
Whether you’re brand new to creating PowerPoint presentations or you’re a pro, you can improve further by incorporating new PowerPoint design ideas.
1. How to Lock an Image in PowerPoint
Locking an image in a PowerPoint presentation will prevent the image’s proportions or aspect ratio from getting distorted or out of scale.
To lock an image in PowerPoint, follow the steps below:
- Right-click on the image and select Size and Position.
- Check the box labeled Lock aspect ratio.
It’s also possible to lock an image or object so it cannot be resized or moved around the slide at all. This feature may be missing from most PowerPoint desktop versions. You might be able to right-click on an image, shape, or object and select Lock.
If you don’t see that option, one workaround is to place objects into the master slide. To learn how, read how to edit master slides in PowerPoint.
2. Loop a Slideshow in PowerPoint
If you plan on continuously running a PowerPoint slide show, you can set the slideshow to loop instead of having to restart it manually.
- Open the PowerPoint you want to loop.
- Select the Slide Show tab.
- Select the Set Up Slide Show button.
- Check the box labeled Loop continuously until ‘Esc.’
- Select the OK button.
You’ll need to press the Esc key to end the looped PowerPoint presentation. Clicking on the final slide in your deck or pressing the right arrow key on your keyboard will cause the slideshow to restart.
3. How to Reduce the Size of a PowerPoint
PowerPoint files can become large if you’ve inserted high-resolution images or media files. We’ve got a few PowerPoint tips and tricks that can help reduce the size of your PowerPoint file.
- Embed only the font characters used in your presentation by selecting File > Options > Save in the menu on the left.
- If you’ve chosen to embed fonts in the file, select the Embed only the characters used in the presentation option.
- Delete image editing data. When you edit an image in PowerPoint, it saves the original image and your edited version. To prevent this:
- Select File > Options > Advanced.
- Under Image Size and Quality, check the box labeled Discard editing data.
- To further reduce the size of your PowerPoint, uncheck the box labeled Do not compress images in file and opt for a lower default resolution for your images.
- Compress images further by selecting an image in your slideshow.
- In the Picture Format tab, select the Compress Pictures button. You can choose whether to apply compression options to all images or only the picture you’ve chosen.
- Check the box labeled Delete cropped areas of pictures, and select Use default resolution. Press OK.
By reducing the size of your PowerPoint file, you’ll make the file easier to store and email.
4. How to Add and Print PowerPoint Notes
Add speaker notes to help the presenter remember what to say during the presentation by selecting the Notes button at the bottom of the PowerPoint. Type a script or just a few notes as reminders.
To print the presentation with the notes, select Notes Pages in the Settings section of the Print dialog box.
5. How to Edit PowerPoint Backgrounds
To add, remove, or edit a background graphic from your slides using the PowerPoint desktop app, you’ll need to select Slide Master from the View menu. Then, on the left, select the slide master or one of the layouts that appears below it: Right-click and select Format Background. Check a box labeled Hide background graphics.
If you’re using PowerPoint in a browser, you might have noticed there is no slide master. When you use the online version, you can directly add, remove, or edit any graphics that appear on a slide.
6. How to Link to Another Slide in the Presentation
Linking to another slide in the same presentation can be helpful if you anticipate the need to skip part of your presentation due to time constraints or refer back to a previous slide. It is as simple as adding a hyperlink.
- Select the text, image, or shape you want to use as a link.
- Select Insert > Link or right-click and select Hyperlink.
- In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, under Link to, select Place in This Document.
- Choose which slide you want to link to and press the OK button.
7. Stay Consistent by Using the Format Painter
Consistency is a hallmark of a well-designed PowerPoint presentation. For example, slide headings should have the same color, font, and font size throughout the deck. Using the format painter makes standardizing all the headings and element labels in your presentation quick and easy.
- Select the content that has the formatting you like.
- In the Home tab, select the Format Painter.
- Next, select something else, and the formatting of the first element will automatically be applied.
Simple. To apply formatting to multiple elements, double-click the Format Painter and repeat step #3 above until you’ve applied the formatting to all the elements you want. Press the Esc key to stop using the Format Painter.
8. Look Smart with SmartArt
PowerPoint’s built-in SmartArt feature will help take your presentations to the next level. With SmartArt, you can convert plain, boring text to engaging graphics.
- Select the text you want to convert into a graphic.
- On the Home tab, select Convert to SmartArt.
- Select the option you like the most. As you move your mouse over the different options, you’ll see what your text looks like converted to that SmartArt option.
- If you’d like a SmartArt option that allows you to add pictures, select More SmartArt Graphics.
- In the menu on the left, select Picture.
- Select the option you like best.
- Select the OK button.
- To add an image, select an image icon in a SmartArt element and choose whether to insert an image from a file on your computer or from an online source like Bing.
The SmartArt gallery has dozens of options to choose from. One of them is bound to make your slide more engaging.
9. Align Your Objects
You’ve used the Format Painter to ensure your formatting is consistent throughout your presentation. While you’re at it, make sure all your objects are perfectly aligned using PowerPoint’s Align tool.
- Select the objects you want to align by holding down Shift as you select each object.
- In the Format tab, select Align.
- Choose how you want the selected object to align.
- To distribute three or more objects evenly, select the objects, and then select Align and either Distribute Horizontally or Distribute Vertically.
Being intentional about how objects on your slides are aligned goes a long way to making a professional-looking presentation.
10. How to Use Picture Layout
When you’re working with a slide with one or more images, try using PowerPoint’s built-in Picture Layout tool. It’s SmartArt for images.
- Select all the images on the slide (hold down Shift to select multiple images).
- In the Picture Tools menu, select Format > Picture Layout.
- Mouse over the options to find the Picture Layout you like best, and select it.
If you decide you don’t want to use a Picture Layout, you can convert your images back to Shapes by selecting Design > Convert > Convert to Shapes.
11. Be Sparing with the Slide Transitions
Once you discover that you can add animations between slides, you might be tempted to try them all. However, you should remember the cardinal rule of PowerPoint presentations: less is more. If you absolutely must use a transition, stick to the simple ones like Cut and Fade.
- Select a slide.
- From the Transitions tab, select a transition.
- Select Effect Options if it’s available to choose additional settings for the transition.
- Select Preview to see the transition in action.
12. Use Animations Wisely
While you’re toning down your slide transitions, make sure you’re using animations judiciously, too. Animating text or objects on a slide can help the flow of your presentation, but too many animations can be distracting. Be discerning about when and where you use them.
To add animations and effects:
- Select the text or object you want to animate.
- On the Animations tab, select an animation.
- Next, select Effect Options to choose an effect. Note, the Effect Options will be different depending on which animation you have selected.
You can select different ways to start the animations. In the Timing section of the Animations tab, choose when to start the animation.
- On click. This option will start the animation when you click the slide.
- With previous. Choose this option if you want the animation to play at the same time as the previous animation in the sequence.
- After previous. The animation will begin immediately after the prior one concludes.
- Duration. This option allows you to make an effect last longer or shorter.
- Delay. Add some time before an effect begins.
To change the order your animations play:
- Select an animation marker on a slide (or toggle on the Animation Pane by selecting it in the Advanced Animation section of the Animation tab and select an animation in the list.)
- In the Timing section of the Animation tab, select either Move Earlier or Move Later.
To add an animation to a group of objects:
- Press Ctrl and select multiple objects.
- Select Format > Group > Group to create a group.
- Choose an animation from the Animations tab.
If you use them the right way, animations can make your presentation clearer and easier for viewers to understand.
13. K.I.S.S.
PowerPoint slides are most effective when they’re simple. When you include only the most important information on your slides, you make it easier for people to digest and remember your message. You can always say more about the topic, but don’t pack the slide with more content than you need. After all, your audience should be listening more than reading.
14. Seek Out High Quality Templates, Images, and Graphics
When you keep it simple, that means using images and graphics that look good. We’ve rounded up some great stock photo sites and places to get beautiful PowerPoint templates.
15. Export the Presentation as a Video
When you’re happy with your presentation, export it as a video:
- Select File > Export.
- Choose Create a video.
- Select the quality of the video and whether to use recorded timings and narrations.
- Set the duration of each slide.
- Select the Create Video button.
- Navigate to the folder where you want to save the video file.
- Select the Save button.
By implementing these tips and tricks, you’ll take your presentations to the next level!
However, perhaps despite all the tips and tricks you’ve learned, you’ve decided to swear off the software entirely. So many PowerPoint presentations have put audience members to sleep that we now have a term for it: “death by PowerPoint.” In that case, say goodbye to Powerpoint, and check out these seven alternatives to PowerPoint that you can use online.
