In this video, staff author Jess Stratton shows you some tools in PowerPoint to arrange objects evenly between themselves, and on the slide itself without having to do any manual work.
- [Instructor] Remember this slide?…Well watch how quickly I can make…a professional looking slide…from these three updates that look like…they were just dumped on the screen.…Instead of the old vertical bulleted list…that used to be so popular,…let's make a nice horizontal display…and end by putting images over them.…The first thing I'll do is select each text box…and click and drag with my mouse to resize them.…And make it just a little bit more chunky sized.…Now I'll try to eyeball it a little bit.…
And then make them vaguely aligned.…And it doesn't have to be perfect.…That's the whole point.…PowerPoint can do this for me.…I can do it myself manually, and there will be times…when you need to.…You saw that that red smart guide appeared…while I was dragging it.…I'm going to change to the view ribbon tab.…You can turn on a ruler.…This will help you align things manually.…You can also turn on guides.…This gives you a crosshair in the center of the slide.…But let's look at a way to have PowerPoint do this for you.…
