Verschillende methodes om een dia te dupliceren - PPT 2019

Er zijn verschillende mogelijkheden om een dia snel te kopiëren. De voor de hand liggende opties heb ik hier weggelaten.

Je begint altijd met het selecteren van de dia.

Via de sneltoetsen Ctrl+D

Dit is de snelste en gemakkelijkste manier.

Via het lijstpijltje naast de knop Kopiëren in de groep Klembord op het lint start.

Via de knop Nieuwe dia in de groep Dia's op het lint start.

 

Kies voor Geselecteerde dia's kopiëren.

Via de rechter muisknop en het snelmenu.

Via slepen met de linker muisknop

Sleep met de betrokken dia, als je de positie hebt bereikt waar je wil kopiëren druk je de ctrl-toets in en je laat de muisknop los.

Via slepen met de rechtermuisknop

Sleep met de rechtermuisknop en laat los op de gewenste positie, kies in het snelmenu voor Kopiëren.

 

Via de diasorteerderweergave

Dezelfde mogelijkheden als hierboven maar met het bijkomend voordeel dat je een beter overzicht hebt van een groot aantal dia's wat het kopiëren makkelijker maakt.

Different options to duplicate a slide in PPT 2019

There are several options to duplicate a slide. I am not going to explain the obvious choices everyone knows.

You always start by selecting the slide(s) you want to copy.

Use the shortcut Ctrl+D

No faster way than this.

Use the list arrow next to the Copy button in the clipboard group on the Home tab

Click the Duplicate slide item.

Use the New slide button in the slides group on the Home tab.

Click the Duplicate selected slides item:

Right-click the slide(s)

Choose Duplicate slide.

Drag the slide using the left mouse button

Drag the selected slide with the left mouse button, when you reach the position where you want to copy the slide press the ctrl+key, then release the mouse button.

Drag the slide using the right mouse button

Release the mouse button on destination and choose Copy from the quick menu.

Use the slide sorter view

You can use the same possibilities as explained above. The extra bonus being that you have a better overview of the slides so copying is easier.

Use icons as bullets in PPT 2019

The choice to include icons in PPT was a good one. You can also use these icons as a bullet in content placeholders.

Click on the Bullet button in the Paragraph group of the Home tab, choose Bullets and numbering at the bottom.

Click on the Picture button in the dialog:

You are presented with three options:

Choose From Icons en select in a category of your choice a suitable icon then click on the Insert button.

The new bullet is now in the dialog and you can use it whenever you want.

Gebruik pictogrammen als opsomteken in PPT 2019

De keuze om pictogrammen toe te voegen aan PPT was een terechte keuze. Je kan de pictogrammen ook gebruiken als opsomteken in tijdelijke aanduidingen.

Klik op de knop Opsommingstekens in de Alinea groep, kies onderaan de optie Opsommingstekens en nummering.

Kies de knop Afbeelding.

Je krijgt nu drie opties:

Kies Van Pictogrammen en selecteer uit een categorie naar keuze je pictogram vervolgens klik je op de knop Invoegen.

De optie staat nu in het dialoogvenster en kan naar believen in de presentatie gebruikt worden.

Tips for bar charts - PPT 2019

Some time ago I wrote an article with a few tips on the use of line charts.
Please feel free to have another look here: Tips for line graphs

I am using the same data as in my article on line charts, sales results from 10 European countries over a period of 4 years. As you can see the items in the 2020 column have been sorted from top to bottom in the datasheet.

A bar chart is ideally suited to compare values, for clarity I have hidden the previous years in the datasheet so that only the current year is shown. I have chosen a horizontal bar chart so you can compare the data more easily and there is more space for text.

The chart has been enlarged after placement to cover just about the entire slide. As there are 4 data columns the color of the bars is Gold accent 4 from the default PPT theme. The chart looks like this after inserting it:

1. Adjust the gap width between bars, apply if necessary another fill color and add a border

The default gap between the bars is 182% of the height of the bar. That is simply too much.
Double click a bar, in the Format data series task pane adjust the Gap Width. In the example I lowered it to 80 %.

Click any bar, all the bars will be selected then under Chart tools go to the Format tab, click the Shape fill button and choose a suitable color, in the example I chose the blue accent 1 swatch.
Then click the Shape outline button an apply the color black and change the thickness to 1 1/2 points.

2. Change the order of the bars, from top to bottom The default order of bars is in reverse rank order.

The bars are ordered with the first (highest) data point at the bottom. If you want to rank the bars with the longest bar at the top you have to reverse the order. Double click the Y-axis, in the Format axis pane under Axis position check the Categories in reverse order checkbox.

3. Delete the legend, gridlines and the x-axis data if they do not contribute to the clarity of the chart

4. Add data labels to the chart

Select a bar and click on the Add chart element button, check Data labels and choose the position of the label in our case Inside end, the click More options, under Number use the currency symbol and remove the two decimal places. 

Select the labels and change the font color and size if necessary.

5. Change the font and font size of the text on the axis and title

The text on the chart is too small. Select the Y-axis and choose another font and font size. Do the same with your title.

       

6. Finally emphasize the most important items in the chart

In my example I changed the bar with the highest sales and the bar of my country. To do that click on a bar (all the bars are selected) and click again to select only one. Change the color with the shape fill button.
