Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Bullets
Picture Bullets
PowerPoint provides several bullet styles that you can choose from - but they do look a little canned since almost every PowerPoint slide
these days uses the same bullet styles! You could get rid of bullets altogether and use small sentences/paragraphs instead, or maybe you
could explore picture bullets - to insert any picture as your bullet. Of course, for picture bullets to work, your picture needs to be
small, no larger than a medium-sized dot. And it helps if it has transparent areas. If all this talk about the size and transparency of a
picture bullet makes you curious, don't worry because we explain it all!
Use Dingbats and Other Characters as Bullets
PowerPoint provides you with umpteen options to change the appearance of your bullet points -- you can change the bullet styles, format the
bullet size and its color, and use pictures as bullets. In addition, you can use a character from any font, including dingbats as a bullet.
So what are dingbats? Dingbats are fonts which contain decorative symbols rather than alphabets and numbers. Wingdings is a good example of
a dingbats font since it is installed by default on all computers.
Import Pictures for Bullets
PowerPoint enables you to use picture bullets rather than the conventional symbol bullets, and while you can choose from an impressive
collection of ready-to-use picture bullets available, you can also import your own pictures to create a unique bullet for your text lists.
So why would you want to import your own picture bullets? Probably because you want their color to match your company branding, or you
want to use a stylized bullet that matches your logo -- whatever your reason may be, do remember that detailed graphics don't work well as
bullets -- the more closer your graphic looks to the conventional dot-shaped bullet, the better it will appear for consistency and visual
reasons. |
Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Outlines (Borders)
Transparency for Shape Outlines
Shape Outlines such as solid colors and gradients have a transparency attribute that lets you reduce the opacity
of a line so that the slide object or background behind shows through. Transparency is calculated in percentages and you
can change its value all the way from 0 to 100%. Changing this transparency is useful when you want to show a line that
represents something different than a line that has no transparency. For example, you could connect two shapes with a line
that's not transparent to represent an existing relationship - and then use a semi-transparent line to link between two
shapes that represents a non-existent or upcoming relationship. |
Learn PowerPoint 2010 for Windows: Outlines (Borders)
Transparency for Shape Outlines
In PowerPoint 2010, Shape Outlines such as solid colors and gradients have a transparency attribute that lets you
reduce the opacity of a fill so that the slide object or background behind shows through. Transparency is calculated in
percentages and you can change its value all the way from 0 to 100%. Changing this transparency is useful when you want to
show a line that represents something different than a line that has no transparency. For example, you could connect two
shapes with a line that's not transparent to represent an existing relationship - and then use a semi-transparent line to
link between two shapes that represents a non-existent or upcoming relationship. |
