How do I place an animated background onto my slide?

RE: powerpoint

Hi Joanne, thanks for your query. Depends on the sort of thing you want to do, really. You can download animated gif files which will operate in the background of a slide or alternatively you could just animate some elements behind other static elements on your slide. It all depends on what sort of final result you want to achieve.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Capture Screenshots in Powerpoint 2010

A great new feature to Powerpoint 2010 is the "screen clipping" command. This allows you to capture an image on your screen directly via powerpoint.

Go to your insert tab on the ribbon and in the images box you will see "sreenshot", click on the arrow and select "screen clipping". Powerpoint will minimise and you will be taken to the next open application or your desktop. Wait a few seconds a your screen will grey out a little and your mouse curser will turn into a + sign. Hold your mouse down and select the area you wish to capture. When you let go of your mouse the selected area will be exported into your powerpoint presentation as an image which you can edit.

It really simple and very effective, give it a go!

This feature is also available on Excel and Word.
