    When you fragment the shapes with letters you can then use the Morph transition to create some creative effects! Ex. Having the letters turn into puzzle pieces and form a puzzle.

    Fantastic topic.... ice cream, my favourite! I remember spending hours trying to draw 4 interlocking jigsaw shapes in PPT 2010 by adding lots of points and smoothing them, this would have saved me so much hassle. A first class presentation. I've seen a number of your videos now and they have all taught me something new. Great work. Thanks.

  • @IAMGregEVA
    @IAMGregEVA Před 2 lety

    Thanks for this deep dive on this feature @Leila. You didn't mention the coolest part of the Subtraction which is that is puts holes in the image/shape which can be coupled with color/content behind in order to bring different focus to elements behind. For example: Very large black rectangle IN FRONT with transparency set to 65%... pop a circular hole in the middle to provide a clear view calling out a part of the content. Move around to change focus from step to step (animation or morph). You rule!

    Hi Leila, thanks for the value you share. Do you have any tips on how to create fast multiple choice answers in powerpoint with a layout that should be copied in 100 slides? I know how to do the layout for the multiple choice answers on 1 slide. But how do you copy that to all your other slides if every slide got different multiple choice answers with text of different length?
