Clip Art Colours

Hi - can you remind me how to change the colours of specific bits of a clip art image please? Thanks.

RE: Clip Art Colours

Hi Amanda,


Thank you for your question.

Not all images in the clipart gallery are editable, the images that generally allow you to edit them are the WMF files, you can identify which images are WMF by hovering your mouse over the image, the screentip will identify the file type.

Once you have your image, right click on it, select Group and then Ungroup (from the sub menu.)
You should now be able to select individual elements of the image and using the Drawing Tools tab on the Ribbon to format the image to your own preferences.


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.


Regards,

PowerPoint tip:

Reduce PowerPoint file sizes

In PowerPoint, images often take up a lot of space which can lead to difficulties when it comes to emailing files. Luckily PowerPoint does contain some tools to help deal with this issue.

1. Disable the Fast Save feature - so that any changes you make will be immediately reflected in the file size. Go to Tools > Options > Save and deselect 'Allow fast saves'.

2. PowerPoint has an inbuilt compression tool, which is located on the Picture Toolbar.

If the Picture toolbar is not visible on your screen, go to View > Toolbars > Picture.

To compress or reduce the size of a picture, select the picture then click the Compress Pictures button on the Picture Toolbar. You can also right-click on a picture to access the option to compress it.
