Modifying Objects in Your Presentation:



Edit Objects:
More often the objects that you insert into your presentations will need to be edited in
order to match with the other elements on a slide.

Resize an object:

Make an object larger or smaller by resizing it.

1. Click the object to select it.

Sizing handles appear around the object once it is selected. You can use these sizing handles
to change the size and proportion of the selected object.

2. Click and drag one of the object’s sizings handles.

Tip: To maintain the object’s proportions while resizing, hold down the <Shift> key as you
drag.
3. Release the mouse button.

Move an object:
By simply clicking and dragging with the mouse, you can move an object to a new location
on the slide.

1. Click and drag the object to a new location.

2. Release the mouse button when the object is positioned where you want it.

Delete an object:

 Select the object that you want to delete and press the <Delete> key.

Format Objects:
Group Objects:
It is often easier to work with a single object than it is to work with several smaller objects.
A group is a collection of objects that PowerPoint treats as a single object.

Select multiple objects:


Before you can group multiple objects, you must select them first.

 Press and hold down the <Shift> key as you click each object that you want to select.

Other Ways to Select Multiple Objects: Use the mouse arrow pointer to draw a
box around the objects that you want to select.

Group objects:
By grouping several objects together you can format an entire group of objects rather than
formatting each object individually.

1. Select the objects that you want to group and click the Format contextual tab on the
Ribbon.

2. Click the Group button in the Arrange group, and select Group from the list.

Other Ways to Group Objects:


Select the objects that you want to group. Then, right-click one of the selected objects,
point to Group in the contextual menu, and select Group.

If you need to make changes to an object that is part of a group, you’ll need to ungroup the
objects before continuing.

1. Select the group of objects that you want to ungroup and click the Format contextual tab
on the Ribbon.

2. Click the Group button in the Arrange group, and select Ungroup from the list.

The selected objects are ungrouped. Now you can work with each object individually.

Other Ways to Ungroup Objects:


Right-click the group of objects that you want to ungroup, point to Group in the contextual

menu, and select Ungroup from the sub menu.

Arrange Objects:

Align objects:

The Align command aligns objects relative to one another.

1. Select all the objects that you want to align.

group.

A list of alignment options appears.

2. Click the Format contextual tab on the Ribbon and click the Align button in the Arrange

group.

3. Select either Distribute Horizontally or Distribute Vertically from the menu.

The selected objects are distributed so that equal space appears between each object.

An animation effect is a preset visual effect that can be applied to the text or objects on a
slide

Apply an animation effect:

1. Select the text or object that you want to animate.

2. Click the Animations tab on the Ribbon and click the More button on the Animation
gallery in the Animation group.

The Animation gallery appears.

3. Select an animation effect from the list.

The preset animation is applied to the text or object and a preview of the effect is
displayed. A number appears next to the object showing the order in which the animation
will be displayed.

Tip: To see more animation effects, click More Entrance Effects, More Emphasis
Effects, More Exit Effects, or More Motion Paths in the Animation gallery.
Now you can add an effect option. An effect option allows you to change the way an
animation effect behaves. For example, if you use the Fly In animation effect, you can
choose the direction from which the object or text flies in.

(Optional) Click the Effect Options button in the Animation group and select an option.
The selected effect option is applied and a preview is displayed.

mouse. Triggers will only show animated objects when a specific event occurs.
