Outside the classroom, these PPT skills are equally useful in life
Don’t think that PPT skills can only show their value when preparing lessons and public classes. In fact, if you apply them to daily life, you will find that there are many conveniences beyond your expectations. Whether you are organizing a family gathering to record your children's growth, or you are organizing travel photos and making a shopping list, as long as you master the practical skills mentioned below, you will not only save energy and time, but also improve the quality of your life. This is a clever way for lazy people.
Family electronic photo album, automatic rotation is effortless
During the weekend, I sorted out a lot of photos taken during family outings. I planned to make these photos into a photo album and put them on TV to play them. Don’t click on them one by one.
Open a blank presentation, click [ Slide Show ], then click [ Set Slide Show ], and check [ Loop show, press ESC to terminate ] in the pop-up window. After setting it up in this way, your family photo album will start looping on its own, without the need for anyone to watch over it. If you want to adjust the aspect ratio to suit your TV, you must remember to select the 16:9 widescreen mode from the very beginning in [ Design ]-[ Slideshow Size ] so that the image can fill the screen, which will provide better results.
Make a memory book for your child’s growth, with various shapes and interesting shapes
Are you hoping to turn your child's unique graffiti works or photos of his or her growth into a unique electronic souvenir book? Ordinary square pictures look too dull.
First click [ Insert ], then click [ Shape ], then select a heart shape, five-pointed star or cloud shape you like, then hold down the Shift key and drag out a proportional shape, then right-click the shape, first select [ Format Shape ], then select [ Fill ], then select [ Image or Texture Fill ], and finally click [ Insert ]. Select a photo from the computer, and the photo will instantly transform into the shape you selected. Then don’t forget to select [ No Outline ] in [ Shape Outline ]. In this way, a unique and creative picture will be born. Use this technique to make parent-child handicrafts or holiday greeting cards, which will definitely make people feel amazing.
Quickly merge data and organize family files, a great helper
Various electronic documents at home, such as scanned copies of children's certificates, scanned copies of insurance contracts, and electrical appliance manuals, are scattered in many folders. What should I do if I want to integrate them into one file for easy reference?
Create a new document unit, then click [ Start ], then click [ New Slide ], then click [ Reuse Slide ], click [ Browse ] in the right pane area, and find the PPT document where you store the scanned materials (if it does not exist, you can simply insert the picture into a blank document to save it). Then check [ Keep Source Format ] below, and then click on the slides you need one by one, and they will be merged into the new file intact, and all files will be clear and clear.
Hide "dark history" with one click, making family gatherings less awkward
When old photos are shown during family gatherings, there will always be some "non-mainstream" looks that you don't want to be seen by many relatives, or "black history" that was captured. If it is deleted, it will be a pity; if it is not deleted, it will be an extremely embarrassing scene.
Before the pre-show, in the outline bar, you can right-click on the slide that you intend to hide from others and select [Hide Slide]. In this way, when it is officially played, it will jump by itself without any notice. After the party is over, right-click again and select [Unhide], and it will reappear, perfectly protecting privacy.
"Invisible" mouse during playback, making the viewing experience more pure
When you use your computer to play movies or TV series to your family, isn’t the mouse arrow that moves around on the screen particularly annoying?
Go to start video playback (you can embed the video directly into PPT), then right-click the screen, select [Pointer Options], then select [Arrow Options], and then select [Hide Forever]. In this way, the mouse cursor will disappear completely, giving you a pure viewing interface. If there is an operation need, move the mouse and it will appear by itself.
Use shortcut keys skillfully to listen to books while doing housework
While doing housework, using PPT to listen to the English story that the child has finished recording, or listening to the recipe explanation recorded by yourself, if you want to fast forward a certain paragraph, or want to listen to a certain paragraph again, but at this time, it is difficult to click the mouse with your hands full of water. How should you solve this problem?
In the playback state, directly press the number keys (for example, if you want to jump to the content of paragraph 5, press the number 5), and then press the [Enter] key, the page will jump instantly. If you want to return to the beginning, hold down the left and right mouse buttons for more than 2 seconds to quickly return to the first page. This little trick allows you to easily control the playback progress while mopping the floor or washing dishes.
Generate content outlines in one minute and organize trivial matters to have clear ideas
Faced with the weekend cleaning, there are so many things to do, are you worried that you will miss a certain corner? Or are you planning a long-distance self-driving trip with a large number of attractions and routes?
Try to turn each thing or attraction you think of into a slide with a title. After everything is completed, select all these slides in the outline view, and then press the [Alt + Shift + S] key combination. Something amazing happens here, it automatically generates a comprehensive table of contents page that covers everything. Print it out and stick it on the refrigerator, cross it off when you finish it, and you’ll never be in a hurry again.
"Wear" pictures in new clothes and give old e-greeting cards a new look
Try to unify the color tone of old photos from the past, or transform a colorful photo into a nostalgic black and white style without having to learn complicated image retouching software.
There are various hues and saturations, hue modes, and even black and white modes for you to choose from. With one click, the picture will change instantly. It is extremely convenient to use it to create an electronic photo album with a unified style.
