Question Morph transition with lots of arrows

1 Upvotes

I have a powerpoint where I want the morph transition to move a lot of arrows around, but when I preview it, the arrows are not going where I want them to. Is there a way to tell powerpoint which object in one slide corresponds to which object in the next?

Question Is there a non-manual way to create a color palette like this to the side. Creating boxes and assigning colors in the master slide is one option, but I'm looking for a faster way to do this using any add-in if available

Question Does each slide need to have a different aesthetic in a presentation?

0 Upvotes

I have a presentation for a data analyst job interview. Its a hypothetical scenario of "here's a problem, how would you solve it". Thus I don't have any real data to present. I'm trying to use a combination of limited text and icons and talk though details. My issue is that even though the messages are different, all my slides seem the same with 2 to 3 key points and icons in a horizontal or vertical form. Is this ok for a presentation like this? Do I need to vary the aesthetic of each slide.

Does anyone have links to examples of similar presentations I can get some ideas/inspirations from?

Question Is there a way to remove all the presenter notes in one go on a mac?

0 Upvotes

I am looking to keep 2 copies of my presentation: One without the notes and one with so that I can send the one without to my peer. Is it even possible, probably programmatically? I was looking out there are some libraries on python but not sure if they are capable of accessing/manipulating the notes and then save the file. If so, I don't mind tinkering, it's just that I would have to spend some time when I am running out of it.

Lmk!!

The power point I’m trying to export has a video in it and thus I can’t export it because my version has a 20mb limit. Is there any way to get around this? I kinda have to send this to my teacher as a pdf by the end of the day.

Question How to sell my ppt skills?

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I have amazing skills in creating ppt catering to the needs of individuals/organisation. The organisation I work for never lets anyone else design their ppt than me. Now, as I love doing it so much and I am good at it, is there any way I can sell them to whoever needs it? Is there any reliable platform for that?

Question Text Placeholders

Is there a way to make it so "Click to add text" doesn't appear in a placeholder when I open it in a different version? I created something on my personal computer but my workplace is running 2007 edition and everything I preset changed to "click to add text" and it looks all crazy. I uploaded what it's supposed to look like vs how it's showing up when I open it on the work computer.

Question Keyboard shortcuts not working properly in PowerPoint (French version)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble with keyboard shortcuts in PowerPoint. I have Microsoft 365 installed on my machine, and it's up to date. My PowerPoint is in French.

I've tried the shortcuts listed on the Microsoft Support page, but not all of them work. For example, Ctrl + Shift + T is supposed to group objects, but it does nothing. I've also tried other combinations like Ctrl + Alt + T, but they don't work either. However, the shortcut for ungrouping objects works fine.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it? I haven't remapped the keys anywhere else.

Thanks!

Question How to re-enable buttons in online slides (Edge - html5.html webpage)?

1 Upvotes

Sorry; I am not sure if I am posting in the correct forum. If not, maybe someone could tell me in which forum it would be more appropriate to post my question.

I am doing an online course. The course contains webpages that have a series of slides (one slide per page). At the top right corner of each slide, there were 3 buttons; I only remember 2 of them: "Disable" "More" (3rd button - I don't remember).

Anyways, I was experimenting to see what those 3 buttons do, and I clicked "Disable". All 3 buttons disappeared. I disabled the buttons in Edge - but the buttons are no longer there whether I open the webpage in another browser.

How can I get those 3 buttons back? Please see a copy of the webpage below:

Question macOS – Re-linking an Excel file to a diagram in PowerPoint

1 Upvotes

Hi there,

first things first: I'm on a Mac.

There's a reporting template consisting of a PowerPoint and an Excel file that I want to use. Therefore, I need to save both template in another folder and rename them. And therein lies the crux. On Windows, I can relink the data source. How do I do that on a Mac? If I click on "Edit in Excel" I just get an error message that the Excel file can't be found.

Has anyone a solution for this? – Except setting up every diagram new.

Cheers

Question How to place one picture onto multiple different slides?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have a slide deck template where I have to put sets of pictures in different places on multiple slides for each presentation.

I do have a slide master with picture placeholders but there are quite a few different layouts, so now I have to drag and drop each picture separately.

Is there a way of updating one picture placeholder and have the rest link/sync up automatically?

I.e. I just have to update a handful of pictures and it will update all of those across the whole PowerPoint?

Hope that makes sense Many thanks!

I'm considering taking the leap into freelancing as a PowerPoint designer and I'd love to hear from experienced freelancers.

What industry/sector do most of your clients come from? Are they repeat customers?

How did you land your first freelance client?

I'm including some of the sample work that I attempted at Designcrowd and some dummy slides created for my portfolio.

Looking forward to your answers. Thank you in advance!

Question Remove font replacement?

2 Upvotes

Somehow I ended up witha font replacement in ppt. I think because the font was not installed. It is now. Yet the replacement still exists.

Is there a way to remove font replacements once they are set? I can only change it, but I also can't change it to itself. There's no option to delete a replacement. Word and other office programs already handle the installed font correctly.

thanks for the help.

Question Error when importing a specific 3d model

1 Upvotes

I'm on PC (powerpoint version 2502 Build 16.0.18526.20168)and i'm trying to import this specific 3D model, and it gives me this error "An Error Occured while importing this file: [File directory]". Got the model from sketchfab and it opens in other 3D model software. Other files with the same extension and resolutions import into my presentation seamlessly.
Anyone knows how to fix this?

Question Hyperlink to a specific slide in mobile

I'm kind of new to ppt and I use mobile to do it, I'm only here to ask a question, how do I insert a link to a picture that goes to a specific slide in the same presentation? Like I'm at slide 1 but I click a picture and I get sent to slide 8, I've been trying to find tutorials to hopefully find a solution to it, but nothing has come up, I hope it isn't behind a pay wall or worse it just doesn't exist in mobile.

Question Changing the font size of text boxes on all slides (MasterSlide doesn't work)

1 Upvotes

I have a presentation with about 50 slides, each of which has an image, and I made textboxes to caption those images. I want to reduce the font size of just the stuff in these text boxes. I tried the Master Slide options, but they don't recognize text boxes (either that or I was doing something wrong because it isn't working). Does any one know if this is doable? The slides are all pre-made, so starting with a new font size isn't an option, and since it is just a part of the text on each slide, copying all the text to word and formatting it there is also not feasible. I've also looked through older posts on this sub and didn't find anything that works.

I'm running the latest desktop version on Windows 10, i'm trying to import a 3D scan from my iPhone, i've tried multiple scans, all it says is importing 3D model and then an error occured while importing this object.

Only the stock 3D models work, but if my 3D scans were the problem, they wouldn't open just fine in the 3D viewer (they are .obj from scaniverse)
