- 18. PowerPoint animations, whenused correctly, are a key part of an effective presentation. These seven techniques are quick and easy to implement, but can make a big difference to your presentation. View video tutorial How to be a PowerPoint animation ninja Directions If you have things like arrows, timelines (in fact anything with a direction), or if you’re using a Wipe, Fly in, Peek in, make sure you change the direction of the animation to match! Overlap If you have content flying in, try not to have it overlap other content: this makes your slide look messy and will distract your audience. Smooth ends On motion paths and Fly ins you can have your animations finish with a smooth end. Opening up your Effect Options and dragging the slider fully to ‘smooth end’ will make your animation look a lot more natural. When you can’t fly, peek Bearing this in mind, if having content Fly in would mean it overlaps something else, use a Peek in animation instead. Duration Some animations default to 0.5 of a second, others default to 2 seconds. It’s rare that you will need the full 2 seconds to make your point. You can normally get away with making these effects 0.5 of a second too. On the whole try and keep your animation sequences to 6 seconds maximum. Delays and disappearing acts Delays are a really bad idea because even if you rehearse your content perfectly, there’s always a chance something will happen to make you miss your cue. But you can pace the flow of information with clicks instead. Use the Quick Access Toolbar Don’t be afraid of animations, keep them in a nice, handy place in PowerPoint – the Quick Access Toolbar and use them to tell your story, but good watch-words are: if a fade will do, then that’s good enough!

- 20. Draw large shapesover objects and group to enable you to rotate around a false central point. View video tutorial Rotating objects Animations > Add Animation > Emphasis > Spin Create a shape starting at the center point of rotation, using the Ctrl key to make that point the center, and make sure it’s larger than anything else. Make the large shape invisible (select ‘No Fill’) and group it with any objects that need to rotate. Use a Spin animation on the group. The entire group will rotate around it’s center point, which is controlled by the large invisible shape, making it look like other objects are rotating around their end point.
- 21. Use the FreeformShape Tool to draw around parts to highlight. Click to start, release the mouse button, move to the next point and click to continue. Click on start point to finish. Create full slide black box and send back using the layer tools, to reveal the freeform shapes. Select the black box, then shift click the highlight shapes and use the Merge Shapes Subtract tool to cut out the highlights. Make black box semi-transparent (30%) and add labels to highlighted areas. Banish the drudgery of content-heavy, detailed slides by using this technique to focus attention on what’s important and bring your stories to life. Use highlighting to help your audience understand the key ideas and remember them.

- 23. Triggers cause animationsto start when you click an object on the slide. Use triggers to reveal and hide additional information, click to change colour to highlight something, or play media. Add an Entrance animation to additional information. Double click animation event, select Timing, then Triggers, and choose which object to act as the clickable button. Using both an entrance and an exit animation means you can turn the pop-up on and off. Create interactive presentations with triggers! Develop slides where you choose what content to share with each audience, giving you a responsive PowerPoint and a great deal of flexibility. Create interactive content like short quizzes, using them for maximum effect. View video tutorial Interactive content with trigger animations
- 24. Section 1 Section2 Section 3 Section 4 Hyperlink any object to travel to a slide, webpage or document. Hyperlink boxes on menu slides to jump to different chapters. Hyperlink logos to return to menu. Hyperlink invisible boxes over multiple objects or groups. Right-click on an object (not a group) and choose link. Create flexible navigation within your PowerPoint presentation using hyperlinks to move around the deck seamlessly and effortlessly with clickable menus. It makes for a more interactive presentation and discussion with your audience and it's really easy. View video tutorial Flexible navigation using hyperlinks
- 25. View video tutorial Morph isa stunning way to seamlessly transition between slides, but also to create motion, emphasis and tell stories. Note that it only works with Office 365 or PowerPoint 2019. Earlier versions of PowerPoint will simply use a Fade transition. Morph magic Transitions > Morph Morph recognizes objects across slides and will seamlessly move, resize, recolour, and rotate objects. You can use this to change content on your slide. Objects have to be on both slides to create any change using morph, otherwise, the transition appears like a fade. Introduce objects by having them off the edge of the first slide canvass and on the second slide, or remove them by having them on the first slide and off the edge of the second slide canvass. Give the effect of moving around a more complex diagram with content moving off and onto the slide, by creating a diagram that only partly fits on the slide canvass. On the second slide, move the diagram so that a different part is on the slide canvass, and morph will pan around the diagram. Zoom into particular elements by making the diagram larger on the second slide.
- 26. Morph isn’t justfor transitioning between slides, it can be used for interesting effects to tell stories, such as creating a magnifying lens to highlight content. Note that it only works with Office 365 or PowerPoint 2019. Earlier versions of PowerPoint will simply use a Fade transition. Morph magnify Transitions > Morph Insert an image on the slide, copy, paste, and align the new image on top of the original. View video tutorial Crop the top image to a rough square focusing on a specific area, set the Crop to Shape (Oval), and set the Aspect Ratio to 1:1 (Picture Tools Format > Crop). Add a shadow or outline to the new cropped circle image and make it larger (use Shift and Ctrl to expand in proportion and the correct position). Duplicate the slide (Ctrl + D) and on the new slide, move the circle image to a different position. Select Crop on the circle image, but now move the image within the circle placeholder, so that it matches the image behind in the new position.
- 27. Zoom in PowerPointis a terrific tool that allows you to jump straight to the content you want and supports a seamless interactive presentation. It’s really quick and straightforward to do. Zoom navigation Home > Slides > Section > Add Section Adding sections to your deck makes it much easier to manage and navigate through using Zoom. Create a section for each topic or subtopic that you might want to navigate to. Insert > Links > Zoom You can add three different types of Zoom, but Section Zooms are probably most useful as they will navigate through entire sections of your presentation before coming back to the menu or launch slide.

- 28. Printing visual, animatedslides doesn’t always look great, and they shouldn’t contain much text, so they can be tricky for people to understand later in a handout. Use the Notes Page view in PowerPoint to print slides and speaker notes in a single easy document that doesn’t compromise the presentation. How to print PowerPoint with notes File > Print > Settings > Notes Pages You can print the notes pages – the slides plus speaker notes. And choose your printer for either paper handouts or a PDF. View > Notes Master Create better layouts for the notes pages with the Notes Master, altering size, position, and formatting of core content placeholders (slides and speaker notes) and add custom branding. View > Notes Page Customize each notes page with specific content, adding text, charts, images, or other elements to support clear understanding of your content. View video tutorial
- 29. It can beuseful to give people handouts to annotate notes on slides while you’re speaking. If you print multiple slides on one page, they’re not dealing with reams of paper and encourages them to just take a few notes, rather than anything too detailed where they could miss something important. How to print multiple slides on one page File > Print > Settings > Handouts You can print handouts with 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 9 slides per page. Choose your printer for either paper handouts or a PDF. View > Handouts Master Create better layouts for the handouts with the Handouts Master, altering size, position, and formatting of supporting content placeholders and add custom branding.
