I heard a story of a radio and Television. In the beginning era of modernity, a radio in a house, which was the sole resource of entertainment, was deserted when a more sophisticated TV entered the house. The story was about a personified radio’s sorrow over the cruel neglectfulness by the family members.  Why now a story like this? Because, Artculate Storyline is the in thing currently, and no one actually remembers that they had depended much on Articulate Presenter formerly. However, I don’t want to be like the unkind people of that family. Here, I have created something in PowerPoint to show my attachment to it. Though the title suggests something I did in PowerPoint, I have achieved this effect with the help of Articulate Presenter. I know this will be an easy task in Storyline with the help of triggers. But, I wanted just to make sure that with a little effort, presenter also could do something close to Storyline. What I tried was to create the Fundamental Musical No...

I am sure you all are very much familiar with the touch screen feature that comes along with latest cell phones those are having in built touch technology. I often am fancied by it when it comes to the image galleries. Mimicking the touch screen animation of image galleries, I have created something similar in PowerPoint. The powerpoint animation needs some basic animations, and I have elaborated the method with the help of a Screenr video. You can also download the powerpoint file by clicking here .

Hey! And I am back, and this time with a simple PowerPoint effect created based on the basic animations. I think this effect can be used as an alternative method to end your e-learning tutorials with a cinematic effect while scrolling up the credit lines. The below screenr will show you the Shrinking Cinematic Effect and the steps which I used to create the effect. If you find my awkward pronunciation difficult to follow, scroll down this page further, and you will see the steps in written format with additional images.  In these following steps, I am showing you a different example. If it was Pierce Brosnan who appeared in my Screenr video, now it is the turn of Tom and Jerry. Step 1: You have the image of Tom & Jerry placed in a PowerPoint slide covering entirely the slide area. In this example, I have changed the slide background colour into black. Step 2: Copy the image, place it exactly on top of the first imag...

In this short article, I am going to show you how I did the ‘Loading Effect’ animation in PowerPoint. You can check the ‘ AuthorStream ’ video given with this article to see what is the Loading Effect here I mention.  Loading Effect More PowerPoint presentations from Tom We have seen this option in many places, when an online flash game is getting loaded, when a new software is being installed, or something like that. I tried to create the same effect in PowerPoint, and succeeded to a certain extend, but here is a disclaimer: this effect won’t work properly in Articulate, unless you are modifying the animations with more patience and efforts. I will try to explain the Loading Effect in the following steps using some screenshots. Step 1: First you want a rectangular frame like this: Animation: No Animation required Step 2: Draw another rectangular box within the first frame, and give a different colour to it. Animation: Give...

Or Crop Unwanted Part of an Image without Harming the Main Element Well, I think both of these titles can together explain the gist of this post. Sometimes when dealing with PowerPoint, we may find ourselves stuck at some images, which have certain queer edges, making it almost impossible to crop without mutilating the main object. The image of the teddy given in the beginning of the post explains this problem well. If we try to simply crop this image to avoid the logo ( Howtodo.com is what it reads), we will find that we can do it only either incompletely or cutting away one of the legs of the teddy. So, how can we chop off the logo without hurting the teddy? In such cases, we can do it more effectively with some small tricks. Just click on the image, and rotate the image by clicking and turning on the rotating handle in such a way that the logo is placed at the bottom of the image. Now, copy the image, and using the paste special option, paste it as a PNG. ...

Another PowerPoint trick which I learned during my interaction with colleagues. We know how to give hyperlinks from an object in our PowerPoint slide to web pages. Yes; right click on the object, click on ‘Hyperlink’, and type your desired web page URL. Using the same feature, you can give hyperlinks to other documents saved in your computer also. But in this post, I am trying to talk you about a hidden trick which will help you to give hyperlink to a specific slide of another PowerPoint file kept in our system. Please note that, this method will help you to give links to the slides of PowerPoint files only. I may disappoint you saying that this method is completely PowerPoint slideshow specific and will not work in Articulate. How to give hyperlinks from an object in a PowerPoint file to a specific slide of another PowerPoint file So the method is here: • Open the PowerPoint file and spot the object from which you want to give a link. • Right click on it, from the...
