Show animation in the slide sorter in PPT 2019-2021

If you want to see multiple slides at the same time you have to choose the slide sorter button in the status bar.

If you have slides that contain animations you can view them by clicking on the star icon in the bottom right corner of the thumbnail slide. If there is no star icon there is no animation on the slide.

Attention!

The icon will also appear when slide transition has been applied. Slide transitions are animations. If you applied both, both will be shown when you click the icon.

What does 'seconds to spend on each slide' means when creating a video of a presentation in PPT 2019

You can create a video from your presentation in PPT. Click File - Export - Create a video. There is an option there called Seconds spent on each slide.

That setting only applies to slides where there is no timing set. If you choose the option Use recorded timings and narration the existing timings determine what is exported to video. You can record timings by going to the Record tab and clicking on the Record slide show button. Or you can use the Slide show tab and click on the Rehearse timings/or the Record slide show button.

If there are no recorded timings or there are some slides which have no timing then the setting takes effect preventing the presentation from stalling on the first slide that has no timing. By default the option Seconds spent on each slide has a setting of 5 seconds. 

Of course if you want to overrule your set timings and use the seconds spent on each slide instead, choose the option Do not use recorded timings and narrations and set an appropriate transition time.

Animatie bekijken in diasorteerderweergave in PPT 2019-2021

Als je meerdere dia's tegelijkertijd wil zien maak je gebruik van de diasorteerder. Daarvoor klik je in de statusbalk op het knopje diasorteerder.

Als je nu de animaties bij de miniatuur dia's wil bekijken volstaat het om op het sterpictogram te klikken dat rechts onder de dia staat. Staat er geen sterretje dan is er ook geen animatie voorzien op de dia.

Opgelet!

Ook als er alleen diaovergangen zijn toegepast verschijnt het pictogram, diaovergangen zijn ook animaties. Heb je beide toegepast dan zullen beide ook worden getoond.

Animate moving arrow next to bullet list in PPT 2019-2021

The intention is to have an arrow move along with each item dealt with during a bulleted list.

You can achieve this in different ways, the first method is to use an arrow next to each bullet point. 

With multiple arrows and start and end animations.

Here's the slide with all the arrows.

Below you can see the animation pane where all bullet points are immediately visible. The first arrow appears automatically. The others only need one entrance effect and one exit effect.

Here's the animation pane where each bullet point and  each arrow is animated individually. You apply two opening and one ending animation for each bullet point except for the first bullet point where you apply two opening effects.

Two illustrative videos:

With one arrow and using motion paths

That is a bit more difficult and requires some preparation. This time we will use only one arrow.

Draw your list arrow first and place it next to the first bullet point. 

Press the combination Alt+F9 to make the guides visible. Copy the horizontal guideline by pressing the Ctrl key and dragging with the double arrow (see Fig.).

Position the extra guideline exactly where you want it. Repeat for the other bullet points. Optionally, also draw a vertical guide to help position the motion path.

Select the arrow, choose the Animations tab and the Add animation button, choose More motion paths at the bottom. In the Lines and Curves section, select the Down animation.

Drag the red end point up to the height of the set guideline. Make use of the vertical guideline to position correctly.

Select the arrow again and add an animation down to it as described above. 

The animation starts at the height of the first bullet point and will therefore have to be moved. Drag the green circle (beginning of themotion path) to the end point of the first animation path. 

Drag the red circle (endpoint of the motion path) to the correct height of the third bullet point. 

Repeat for the next bullet points, possibly starting with the red end point if the start and end points are too close to each other. 

This is the end result:

And this is the animation pane:

Here's a video illustrating the procedure:

Using the Morphing Slide Transition

This method is by far the simplest. The only downside is that you need several slides for it. 

Create your first slide and place the arrow next to the first bullet point. 

Duplicate the slide 4 times by right clicking on it and choosing Duplicate slide from the quick menu.

On the copies you simply move the arrow to the next bullet point. The guides will facilitate the work.

Finally, select slides 2 through 5. Go to the Transitions tab and select the Morph transition.

Remove the check next to Print slide numbers on handouts at the bottom if you do not want this.

You can avoid printing the numbers altogether by going to File - Options - Advanced - Print - remove check next to Print slide numbers on handouts.

Slim objecten kopiëren in PPT 2019-2021

Een weinig gekende nieuwigheid in PPT 2019-2021 is het slim kopiëren van objecten.

Na het invoegen van een object bv een rechthoek kopieer je de rechthoek met de combinatie Ctrl+D. Positioneer dan de gekopieerde rechthoek tot die op de ideale afstand terechtkomt en laat hem geselecteerd.

Druk nu opnieuw Ctrl+D en herhaal dat zoveel als nodig, alle objecten komen op dezelfde hoogte met dezelfde afstand als tussen de eerste twee.

Copy objects in a smart way in PPT 2019-2021

A little-known novelty in PPT 2019-2021 is the smart copying of objects.

After inserting an object eg a rectangle, copy the rectangle with the combination Ctrl+D. Then position the copied rectangle until it lands at the ideal distance and leave it selected.

Now press Ctrl+D again and repeat as much as necessary, all objects will be at the same height with the same distance as between the first two.

Use Windows magnifier in PPT 2019

If you want to zoom in on a slide during your presentation you can use different techniques. More on this in my article:

Zoom in while presenting

But you can also make use of the Windows 10/11 magnifier.

To activate the magnifier press Windows key + +key. By default zoom is on 100% 

If you want to zoom in further press the same combination again, each step increases the zoom with 100 %.

If the step is too large you can change this in the settings of the app. Use the Windows start button, Settings, Ease of access, Magnifier. 

Change the percentage under Change the zoom increments.

By default magnifier works on the full screen, you can also use a zoom window or fix it on the screen. To switch between modes use the combination Ctrl+Alt+M.

Finally you can use the read from here function.

By default magnifier follows the mouse pointer but you can choose the keyboard focus, the text cursor, or the narrator cursor.

Use the windows key + esc to deactivate the magnifier.

Objecten vergrendelen in PPT 365

Als je wilt vermijden dat een gebruiker objecten kan verplaatsen of van grootte veranderen moet je die objecten vergrendelen. Dit is van toepassing op vormen, pictogrammen, 3D modellen enz...

Om een object te vergrendelen klik je erop met je rechtermuisknop. In het snelmenu kies je voor de optie vergrendelen.

Als je meerdere objecten moet vergrendelen kan je beroep doen op het selectievenster dat je kan activeren via de combinatie Alt+F10.

Naast ieder object op de dia staat een hangslot. Als je erop klikt wordt het object vergendeld, of omgekeerd ontgrendeld.

Opmerking!

Wanneer je een tijdelijke aanduiding in het diamodel vergrendeld zal dat geen enkel effect hebben op de dia's. Men zal dus nog altijd kunnen verplaatsen of editeren op de dia.
