In the text editor, enter the dates and descriptions, and then press Enter. On the slide, a text editor opens next to the graphic so you can easily add words to the graphic. Pick a timeline layout from the gallery that appears, such as this Basic Timeline in the List section.

In addition to the content being editable in PowerPoint, another nice option to easily update the image and styling by going back to the PowerPointLabs tab, selecting Picture Slides Lab again and updating the image or styling options by clicking (1) Change Style. And it is not a flat image, the text, image styling and graphic accents are all native PowerPoint content, so it can be modified in PowerPoint after inserted. Highlight the image (1) to add to the presentation and click (2) Select.Įverything is added to the presentation. There is a dialog with thumbnail to confirm the selected image and styling (okay, this step feels a bit redundant and not needed).

It provides a number of preset styling options:ġ) Frosted Glass TextBox Color (Option to add custom colors)Ģ) TextBox Transparency (Option to display multiple transparency options)ģ) Special Effects (Options for how image is displayed)Ĥ) Brightness (Options for image brightness by percentage)ĥ) Font Color (Options for custom font color)Ħ) Text Glow Color (Option to add custom glow color)ħ) Text Position (Option to position your text in various positions on your slide)Ĩ) Font (Option to choose a custom font. This feature is in line with the PowerPoint Designer feature, in terms of take text only content and make it visual for me.

The Picture Slides Lab tool automates making text stylized over an image (inserted image or background image). PowerPointLabs is an entire ribbon, with a lot of good design, layout and styling features.įor this post I am just going through one of several styling options that stood out. I do recommend spending time going through the tutorial walk-through that is available after the add-in is installed.
