PowerPoint 2013 for Windows provides so many new features, but one of them is essentially such a small addition that you may completely miss exploring it. And that would be sad because this feature can open up so many possibilities. We have already explored the Merge Shape commands-while 4 of the 5 commands within this category have been available since PowerPoint 2010 for Windows, the Fragment command is new for this version. Unlike other Merge Shape commands that retain or remove overlapping and non-overlapping areas of multiple shapes, the Fragment option discards nothing at all. In fact, its “fragments” each possible division caused by overlapping shapes and turns them into many, smaller shapes.

You can see examples of the Fragment option in play within Figure 1, below. The three examples on the top area of the slide are separate shapes placed over each other. The shapes that you see at the bottom of the slide are the same shapes with the Fragment option applied, resulting in a multiple, small shapes.

Figure 1: Fragment option creates smaller shapes

Now you really cannot make out the small shapes within Figure 1 above, since all the fragmented shapes are placed bordering each other. So we spread out all the new shapes created using the Fragment option in Figure 2, below. The graphic on the left is the result of using the Fragment option, and the graphic on the right shows the shapes separated apart so that you can see them all individually.

Figure 2: Fragmented shapes, separated

Here’s another example: we placed three basic Circle shapes overlapping each other as shown towards the left of Figure 3, below. With these shapes selected, we could use the Fragment command that we explain later in this tutorial to create an individual shapes from the overlapped area as shown towards the right in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Sample showing use of the Fragment command

Once you finish reading this tutorial, do view the sample presentations embedded on the bottom of this page to see more samples of shapes that use the Fragment command.

Select any two or more shapes as shown in Figure 4. With these shapes selected, access theDrawing Tools Format tab on the Ribbon (highlighted in red withinFigure 4).

Do remember these guidelines for any tasks that involve the usage of this command. The Fragment command:

Creates new shapes from overlapping area of shapes

Creates new shapes from in-between empty areas

Retains as shapes any areas that do not overlap

Subtracts nothing

Retains formatting of first selected shape

The sample presentations below show how we used different shapes placed next to and above each other, and then united.

Highlight Text In Powerpoint 2013 For Windows

Learn how to highlight text in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows. Highlighted text can recreate the look of colored, transparent ink on text.

First of all, PowerPoint 2013 or any of the previous versions do not support text highlighting. And before we explore getting over this limitation, let’s ask ourselves why do we need to highlight a text? If you want to emphasize some important words within your slide, then the highlighting may indeed help. However, unlike Microsoft Word, PowerPoint doesn’t have a ready-made tool to highlight text, but you can use Word’s highlighting options as a workaround!

Follow these steps to learn how to highlight a text within PowerPoint 2013 for Windows:

Select the text on your slide, as shown in Figure 1, below. Thereafter copy (

Ctrl

) the selected text to the Clipboard.

Figure 1: Text selected on the slide

Now, launch Word and create a new document. Then, paste (

Ctrl

) the copied content within this document. Once you paste, you will see that the Paste Options icon appears, as shown highlighted in

red

within Figure 2.

Figure 2: Paste Options icon

bring up the Paste Options drop-down menu, as shown in Figure 3, below. Here select the Keep Source Formatting option (highlighted in

red

within Figure 3) to retain the text formatting from the source PowerPoint slide.

(refer to Figure 4, again).

More About Highlighting in Microsoft Word 2013

We recommend that you select the text first in Word, and then choose a highlight color. Alternatively, Word lets you choose a highlight color even when no text is selected. If you do so, the cursor changes to the highlighter icon, as shown highlighted in

red

within Figure 6, below.

Now you can highlight text almost as if you were using a conventional highlighter pen with a piece of paper or a book. You can highlight contiguous or non-contiguous areas of text now. The latter is shown in Figure 7 below.

Figure 7: Highlight non-contiguous areas of text

Now copy (

Ctrl

) all text back to the Clipboard. Paste (

Ctrl

) within your PowerPoint slide. Once you paste, you will see that the Paste Options icon appears. Now immediately press the Paste Options drop-down menu, as shown in Figure 8, below. Here select the Keep Source Formatting option (highlighted in

red

within Figure 8) to retain the text formatting from the source Word document.

Figure 8: Select Keep Source Formatting option

In Figure 9, below you can see that the highlighted text copied back to PowerPoint. Notice that we pasted text that had both contiguous or non-contiguous areas of highlighted text.

Figure 9: Both contiguous and non-contiguous areas of highlighted text copied back to PowerPoint

Once done, you can copy the highlighting to other text without having to use Word again. You can also remove the highlight altogether right within PowerPoint. Both procedures are explained in our Copy and Remove Highlighting for Text in PowerPoint 2013 tutorial.

Eyedropper Fill In Powerpoint 2023 For Windows

Learn how the Eyedropper fill option works in PowerPoint 2023 for Windows. This option can be helpful if you need a shape with no fill, but just a thin outline.

Product/Version: PowerPoint 2023 for Windows

OS: Microsoft Windows 7 and higher

Although PowerPoint allows you to choose almost any color you want, it is often difficult to choose the same color for text as the grass or the sky in a picture on the same slide! PowerPoint 2023 for Windows Eyedropper option enables you to pick an exact color from anywhere, sometimes even from somewhere outside PowerPoint! Even better, when you are picking up the color from a source, you get to see the color preview as well as the RGB value of the color you are picking.

Follow these steps to learn how to use the Eyedropper option to copy colors for shapes:

Open or create a slide which already has text or shapes, and at least one picture, as you can see in Figure 1.

Note: The Drawing Tools Format tab is a Contextual tab. Contextual tabs are special tabs in the Ribbon that are not visible all the time. They make an appearance only when you are working with a particular slide object which can be edited using the options within these tabs.

This brings up the Shape Fill drop-down gallery, as shown in Figure 4. Within the drop-down gallery, select the Eyedropper option (see Figure 4 again).

As soon as the Eyedropper option is selected, the cursor changes to an eyedropper. Place your cursor over the color in the picture which you want to pick as a fill for your shape. As you move your cursor pointer over the color you want to pick you’ll see a Live Preview of the color beneath within a square, as you can see highlighted in blue within Figure 5.

Hold your cursor at any position for a while, and you’ll see the RGB (Red Green Blue) color coordinates and color name, as shown highlighted in blue within Figure 6.

In the same way, you can change the fill color of other shapes on the slide. Note that you can easily select multiple shapes and then apply the same fill color to all selected shapes. Figure 8, below shows different colors picked from the picture and applied to shapes as fills.

Notice that the Shape Fill drop-down gallery now shows all the picked colors under Recent Colors section (highlighted in red within Figure 9). Compare Figures 9 and 4.

Figure 11, below shows the same slide after we picked up colors for shape fills and outlines. All these colors were sourced from the picture on the slide. Compare Figures 1 and 11.

Make sure to save your presentation.

In the next tutorial of this series, we explore how you can pick colors for text using the Eyedropper option. We also show how you can copy color from outside PowerPoint, such as your desktop, a web site, or anywhere else.

Adding Animation In Powerpoint 2007, 2003, And 2002 For Windows

Learn how to add animation in PowerPoint 2007, 2003, and 2002 for Windows

Product/Version: PowerPoint 2007, 2003, and 2002 for Windows

OS: Windows XP and higher

We explained what animation is, and what guidelines you need to follow before you add an animation to a slide object in PowerPoint. You can add animation to any slide object in PowerPoint — including text, charts, shapes, pictures, clip art, etc.

Follow these steps to add animation to a shape in PowerPoint:

Open a new presentation, and insert a slide object such as a shapes or a picture, etc. Or open any existing presentation you have, and select the slide object (see Figure 1).

Figure 1: Animations tab

This opens a fly-out menu that lets you select any of the four animation types that PowerPoint provides. For this tutorial, we chose the Entrance option, which opens another fly-out menu that you can see inFigure 4.

Figure 4: Entrance animations

By default, the recently used animation effects are visible in the Entrance fly-out menu. To see all the effects available, choose theMore Effect option from the fly-out menu, which opens a dialog box, as shown inFigure 5. This contains all the animation effects available in PowerPoint for the selectedanimation type.

Figure 5: Entrance animation styles

You can add animation types other than Entrance in the same way. Just choose the relevant fly-out menu as required for Emphasis, Exit, and Motion Path animations.

Note: PowerPoint uses the term Custom Animation for animation added to slide objects. For most practical purposes, the terms “custom animation” and “animation” can be regarded the same.

Tip: If your slide has more than one slide object, you can also add animation effects for all of them using the same process. Remember that any animation added first will play first, and any animations added thereafter will play in the same sequence as you added them. Yes, you can change this sequence as explained in our Build and Sequence Animations in PowerPoint 2007 tutorial.

Now that you have added an animation to a slide object, you can control more animation properties like event and speed.
