Join Jess Stratton for an in-depth discussion in this video Aligning objects using guides, part of PowerPoint for Mac 2016 Essential Training.
- A PowerPoint slide is a really…big square to fill,…and one thing that can make a good…presentation look really polished,…is when everything in it lines up perfectly.…You can do this with the use of guides,…that is, lines that are automatically appearing…when an object is centered or evenly…spaced between another object.…Let's see them in action.…I'm going to create a new blank slide…underneath my Executive Team slide.…I'll place the cursor on the left-hand side,…click the arrow next to New Slide,…and I'll choose a blank layout.…
Next I'm going to make sure that…my guides are turned on, and I do that…by clicking View from the File menu,…hovering my mouse over Guides,…I'm making sure there's a check box…next to Dynamic Guides.…Once that's in place, I can then add some photos.…I'm going do it in a slightly different way…than I did last time.…This time I'm going to go directly…through Finder on the Mac.…I'm going to browse to my Assets folder,…I'll change to Icon view, so I can see a…better view of my photos.…
And now, I'm going to drag and drop…
