Nov 18, 2011 - You have already learned the differences between text placeholders and text boxes within PowerPoint 2011. Beyond those differences, almost. Now, wherever you see the text overlapping the picture at the background, use space bar to move the text. The result will be as follows: PowerPoint Wrap Text around Picture Example. Option 2: Insert multiple text boxes. The second alternative is to insert multiple text boxes in PowerPoint using auto shapes menu and place them around the picture.
. Click in the.
A text box is added to your slide (you can change how the text looks later). Drag the text box to where you want it.
If you can’t move the box, click outside the box to deselect the text, then click the text once to select its text box. Type to replace the placeholder text. To resize the text box, drag the selection handle on the left or right side of the box. To delete a text box, click it (a blue outline appears around it), then press Delete on your keyboard. If the blue outline doesn’t appear, click outside the box to deselect the text, then click the text once to select its text box. Text boxes are objects that can be modified like most other objects; you can rotate the text box, change its border, fill it with a color, layer it with other objects, and more. For more information, see.
Every Keynote theme comes with a default text box style, so when you add a text box to a presentation and type text in it, the box and the text use this style. You can modify this default style—change the font, font color, fill color, and so on—then make it the new default style for the presentation. Your default text box style applies only to the presentation where you create it. Add a text box to your presentation and change it however you want. You can change the font and font size, add a border to the box, and so on. Click the text box.
Choose Format Advanced Set as Default Text Box Appearance (from the Format menu at the top of your screen). You can change the default whenever you want, and it won’t affect any text boxes already in the presentation. If you want to apply the same design changes to other text boxes that already exist in the slide, you can save the default text box style as an object style, then apply the object style to other text boxes.
. Select a text box you would like to animate by clicking on the frame. Go to the Animations tab and choose an animation effect you like. To see the whole list of animations, click the Animation Pane button on the Animations tab. Now you can configure options for a certain animation. Select animation on the Animation Pane and choose Effect Options from the drop-down menu.
Go to the Effect tab and choose the Animate Text option: “All at once”, “By word” or “By Letter”. You can also set delay between animations in percentage for the last two start animation types.
In the Timings tab choose the Start option for the animation: On click, With Previous or After Previous. You can set Delay in seconds for the chosen animation, choose Duration (fast, medium or slow) and number of Repeats.
Note: iSpring will read infinity value Repeat: Until End of Slide as a 1 because the conversion engine cannot calculate the length of the slide, which is important to proceed. To work around this, set Repeat to any numeric value, e.g.
99, it will imitate a very long repeated action. Tip: You can access timing options on the Animations Pane and edit them by moving and arranging different animation tracks.
If text contains a bulleted list, you can set up the paragraph level till which animation will go in steps. Go to the Text Animation tab. Choose by what paragraph level you want to animate your text in the Group text drop-down list. For example, on this slide we have 4 paragraphs with nested levels from 1 to 4. If you set text animation By 2nd Level Paragraphs, two of them will be animated in a sequence while the rest of the bullets (the 3rd and the 4th levels) will be animated at once. You may notice animation IDs with numbers when you select the text box.
Animations with equal numbers will be animated simultaneously. Once all the options are selected, click OK to close the Animation Effects window. You can preview animations in the Animation Pane.
To see the final result, go to the Slide Show tab or press crtl+F5 to start playing the presentation from the current slide. Now you can apply text animations and iSpring will take care of converting them to both Web formats Flash and HTML5. WordArt text animation In PowerPoint you can apply WordArt styles to the text. Stylized text is converted to a raster image with iSpring, therefore, can’t retain the animation. Still you can apply animation to a WordArt object. To do it, right click on the stylized text, choose Save as Picture and Insert this picture into a slide.
Then apply animation to the raster image. Note, that you can’t change text or adjust styles after you attach it as a picture. Play around with animations settings yourself!
