PowerPoint 是一个有用的程序，可帮助您为演示文稿创建幻灯片，甚至将其转换为视频。它已经过时了，并且仍然是教育工作者、内部商业演示和家庭影院应用程序最受欢迎的选择之一。
您可以添加图形、文本和多媒体来增强外观并使您的演示文稿更具吸引力。包括音乐和视频在内的富媒体列表继续增长。
除了这些功能之外，还有不断扩展的模板种类。即便如此，并非每个模板都拥有您想要或需要的一切。仍然需要不时进行一些编辑。好消息是，您通常可以修改和编辑那些购买或免费的模板。
编辑或修改 PowerPoint 模板(Edit Or Modify a PowerPoint Template)
当涉及到 Powerpoint 模板时，您可以：
- 使用空白演示文稿从头开始，一次性使用或创建自定义模板
- 使用(Use one)程序提供或免费下载的主题之一
- 从各种来源购买模板
学习如何编辑演示文稿是您工具包中的宝贵工具。许多教程建议使用幻灯片母版(Slide Master)
视图。但是，幻灯片母(Slide Master)版提供空白布局。这不是编辑现有模板的方法。
假设您刚刚购买了一组模板，因为它们看起来令人印象深刻，并且您想将它们用于您的业务。但是，模板是基于利基的，您的企业提供网站设计等在线服务。
例如，也许您喜欢房地产Powerpoint(Powerpoint)模板的布局和内置动画
。这是否意味着你不能使用它？不，您可以通过将图像替换为与您的行业更相关的图像来为您的业务定制它。
有很多方法可以编辑Powerpoint演示文稿。出于本教程的目的，我们将概述将房地产模板转换为网站设计公司模板的步骤。
从封面幻灯片开始(Start With The Cover Slide)
下面(Below)
是购买的房地产Powerpoint演示文稿中的第一张幻灯片。
您要做的第一件事是将房屋图像替换为网站图像。有两种不同的方法可以做到这一点。
右键单击图像以更改它(Right-Click On An Image To Change It)
一些模板将允许您通过右键单击图片并选择更改图片来更换图片(Change picture)。然后选择新图像的来源（文件、在线资源、图标、剪贴板(File, Online Sources, Icons, Clipboard)）。
我更喜欢使用我知道是免费且不受任何版权法约束的图片网站。如下图所示，当您选择From Online Source时，您将进入一个屏幕，您可以在Creative Commons下选择图片。
但是，弹出窗口底部还有一条免责声明：您有责任尊重他人的权利，包括版权。(You are responsible for respecting others’
rights, including copyright.)
为了在法律上更安全，请使用“来自文件(From a file)”选项并从免费图片网站( free stock photo website)中选择图像。
使用选择面板更改图像(Use The Selection Panel To Change Images)
具有更复杂动画和过渡的模板将需要不同的方法来更改图像。
首先确保您位于顶部导航栏中的“主页”选项卡上。(Home)
现在您要查找并单击顶部导航右侧幻灯片上的“选择(Select)”下拉菜单。选择选择窗格(Selection pane)。
这将打开一个新选项卡，向您显示幻灯片上的所有元素，并让您能够“显示”或“隐藏”它们。
您在此步骤中的目标是将图像与幻灯片上的任何其他元素隔离开来，以便您可以更改它。
单击全部隐藏(Hide All)，以便您看到一个空白的白色屏幕。您将在选择面板中看到的元素数量取决于幻灯片的复杂性。
在这个例子中，很容易识别哪个元素是图像，因为只有一张图片。如果您的幻灯片有很多照片，您将需要单击每个图片元素名称旁边的破折号 (-) 以找到您要更改的那个。
打开(Click)和关闭它们，直到找到正确的。
确保(Make)一旦找到正确的图片，它就是唯一显示的元素。通过隐藏其他项目，您可以隔离图像以更改它。
此时，您可以通过右键单击图像并选择更改图片(Change Picture)来按照上述相同的说明进行操作。
更改字体和形状颜色(Change Font & Shape
Colors )
您还可以更改字体颜色和类型，以及形状的透明度和颜色。
如果您选择使用与模板相同的配色方案的图像，您可能只需要进行最小的更改（如果有的话）。但是，如果您发现要使用的图片与配色方案不匹配，请不要担心。这很容易改变。
下图显示了带有网站图片的封面幻灯片，该图片取代了家庭图片。
从颜色的角度来看，它看起来格格不入。因此，让我们更改颜色以匹配我们的新图像以获得更一致的外观。
更改形状的颜色(Change The Color Of The Shapes)
用光标右键单击包含标题的背景形状，然后选择Format Shape。
此过程将打开一个侧面板，您可以在其中看到底部栏填充有透明度为 30% 的纯色。您还可以看到使用的颜色。
让我们选择一种与我们的新图像更好地融合的颜色。单击颜色(Color)旁边的下拉箭头，然后选择吸管(Eyedropper)选项。您还可以选择任何主题、标准或自定义颜色。但是如果你想匹配图像中的颜色，使用吸管(Eyedropper)效果最好。
将光标移动到图像中您要使用的颜色的任何部分，然后单击返回(return)。您现在将看到底部栏是您使用吸管(Eyedropper)选择的颜色。
现在，请记住原始幻灯片具有 30% 的透明度效果。当您更改颜色时，它会被删除。如果您想将它与新颜色一起使用，请右键单击底部栏，选择格式(Format )并将透明度(Transparency)级别设置回 30%。
按照与上述相同的步骤将右侧的颜色列更改为相同的颜色。您会注意到现在有一个名为“最近使用的颜色(Recent Color)”的附加部分，使您可以更轻松地使用以前使用的相同颜色。
编辑文本(Edit Text)
您可以更改模板中任何文本的颜色、字体、大小和位置。首先(Start)突出显示文本并查看顶部导航部分，该部分是指您可以对文本执行的操作。
突出显示文本后，您可以进行多项编辑，包括：
- 类型
- 尺寸
- 颜色
- 样式(Style)（粗体、斜体、下划线、阴影）
如果您不确定任何选项的含义，请将鼠标悬停在其上以查看说明。当然，您需要替换文字内容以匹配您的业务。
要移动文本的位置，请将鼠标放在突出显示部分中看到的一个点上，直到光标变为垂直箭头。
然后使用键盘上的箭头向上、向下、向右或向左移动文本。
在此示例中，白色文本与图像和配色方案相得益彰。但是，它可以对位置和样式进行一些调整。
请参阅下面的新幻灯片，以及我们如何通过自定义它从原始幻灯片转换它，同时保持与模板相同的基本设计、动画和过渡。
编辑和自定义预制模板的好处是您可以从专业Powerpoint创建者的设计技巧、动画和过渡中受益。
没有必要避免使用不属于您的行业或利基市场的模板。按照上面的说明，您可以两全其美。
How To Edit Or Modify a PowerPoint Template
PоwerPoint is a useful program to help you crеate slides for a preѕentation and even turn them into a video. It has aged well and is still onе of the most popυlar choices for educators, in-house business presentations and home theatre applications.
You can add graphics, text, and multimedia to enhance
the appearance and make your presentations more engaging. The list of rich
media, including music and video continues to grow.
Along with those features is the ever-expanding
variety of templates. Even so, not every template has all that you want or
need. Some editing is still required from time to time. The good news is that
those templates, purchased or free, can usually be modified and edited by you.
Edit Or Modify a PowerPoint Template
When
it comes to Powerpoint templates you can:
- Start from scratch with a
blank presentation and use it as a one-off or create a custom template
- Use one of the themes
provided from the program or downloaded for free
- Purchase templates from
various sources
Learning
how to edit a presentation is a valuable tool to have in your kit. Many
tutorials suggest using the Slide Master
view. However, Slide Master provides blank layouts. It is not a way to edit an
existing template.
Let’s
say you just purchased a bundle of templates because they look impressive and
you want to use them for your business. However, the templates are niche-based,
and your business provides online services such as website design.
For
example, maybe you like the layout and built-in animations of a real estate
Powerpoint template. Does that mean you can’t use it? No, you can customize it
for your business by swapping out the images with ones that are more relevant
to your industry.
There
are many ways to edit a Powerpoint presentation. For the purposes of this
tutorial, we are going to outline the steps to turn a real estate template into
one for a website design company.
Start With The Cover Slide
Below
is the first slide in a purchased real estate Powerpoint presentation.
The first thing you will want to do is to replace the
house image with an image of a website. There are two different ways to do
this.
Right-Click On An Image To Change It
Some templates will allow you to swap out the picture simply by right-clicking on it and choosing Change picture. Then select the source of your new image (File, Online Sources, Icons, Clipboard).
I prefer to use image sites that I know are free and
not subject to any copyright laws. As you can see in the image below, when you
select From Online Source, you are
taken to a screen where you can choose pictures under Creative Commons.
However,
there is also a disclaimer on the bottom of the pop-up that says: You are responsible for respecting others’
rights, including copyright.
To be safer legally, use the From a file option and choose an image from a free stock photo website.
Use The Selection Panel To Change Images
Templates
that have more complicated animations and transitions will require a different
method to change the images.
Start by making sure you are on the Home tab in the top navigation bar.
Now you want to look for and click the Select drop-down menu on the right slide of the top navigation. Choose Selection pane.
This will open a new tab that shows you all the elements on the slide and gives you the ability to “show” or “hide” them.
Your goal in this step is to isolate the image from
any other elements on the slide so that you can change it.
Click on Hide All so that you see a blank white screen. The number of elements you will see in the selection panel will depend upon the complexity of the slide.
In
this example, it is easy to identify which element is the image as there is
only one picture. If your slide has many photos, you will want to click on the
dash (-) next to the name of each picture element to find the one you want to
change.
Click them on and off until you find the right one.
Make sure that once you find the right picture, it is the only element that is showing. By hiding the other items, you can isolate the image to change it.
At this point, you can follow the same instructions above by right-clicking on the image and selecting Change Picture.
Change Font & Shape
Colors
You
can also change the font colors and type, as well as the transparency and color
of the shapes.
If
you choose an image that uses the same color scheme as the template, you will
probably only need to do minimal changes, if any. But if you find a picture you
want to use that doesn’t match the color scheme, don’t worry. It’s easy to
change.
The
image below shows the cover slide with a website image that replaced the
picture of the home.
It looks out of place from a color perspective. So,
let’s change the colors to match our new image for a more congruent look.
Change The Color Of The Shapes
Right-click with your cursor on the background shape that contains the title and select Format Shape.
This process will open a side panel where you can see that the bottom bar is filled with a solid color with 30% transparency. You can also see the color that is used.
Let’s select a color that blends better with our new image. Click the dropdown arrow next to Color and choose the Eyedropper option. You can also select any theme, standard, or custom colors. But if you want to match the colors in the image, using the Eyedropper works best.
Move your cursor to any part of the image that is the color you want to use and click return. You will now see that the bottom bar is the color you chose using the Eyedropper.
Now, remember that the original slide had a 30% transparency effect. This is removed when you change the color. If you want to use that with your new color, right-click the bottom bar, select Format and put the Transparency level back to 30%.
Follow the same procedures as above to change the right color column to the same color. You will notice that now there is an additional section called Recent Color to make it even easier for you to use the same color you used before.
Edit Text
You can change the color, font, size, and location of any text in your template. Start by highlighting the text and looking at the top navigation section that refers to what you can do with text.
With the text highlighted, you can make several edits,
including:
- Type
- Size
- Color
- Style (bold, italic,
underlined, shadowed)
If
you are not sure what any of the options mean, hover your mouse over it to see
a description. Of course, you will want to replace what the text says to match
your business.
To move the location of the text, put your mouse over one of the dots you see in the highlighted section until your cursor turns into a vertical arrow.
Then use the arrows on your keyboard to move the text up, down, right, or left.
In
this sample, the white text looks good with the image and color scheme.
However, it could use a few tweaks to the location and style.
See
the new slide below and how we transformed it from the original slide by
customizing it while keeping the same basic design, animations, and transitions
as the template.
The benefit of editing and customizing pre-made
templates is that you can benefit from the design skills, animations, and
transitions of professional Powerpoint creators.
There
is no need to avoid a template that is geared towards an industry or niche that
isn’t yours. By following the instructions above, you can have the best of both
worlds.
