How do you get pictures and text boxes to move by smaller increments

RE: Powerpoint

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your question regarding the moving of pictures/textboxes.

The best way to move your objects by smaller increments would be, with the object selected:

1. Hold down the Ctrl key and use the arrow keys to nudge the object.

OR

2. Hold down the Alt key and use your mouse to drag the object - there is a much smoother motion allowing you to be more specific about smaller movements.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post.

Have a great day.

Regards,

Nafeesa

PowerPoint tip:

Animating charts imported from Excel

Once you have imported an Excel chart into a Powerpoint slide, it is possible to apply animation to individual components (e.g. each bar) of the chart.

Click on the imported Excel chart, then go to Draw - Ungroup on the Drawing toolbar (usually located at the bottom of the screen).

A message will appear warning that ungrouping will change the chart into a different type of object - click Yes, then go to Draw - Ungroup again.

You should now see the chart has been broken up into all its individual components.

Right-click on a component that you wish to apply animation to; then select Custom animation and apply animation using the task pane on the right of the screen.
