What you'll learn

The limitations of the alignment tool in Powerpoint are easily overcome by incorporating what I call “Ninja Lines” to the process to pull off these types of otherwise impossible alignments and distributions in PowerPoint. In this course, PowerPoint: Advanced Alignment Techniques, you’ll learn to use lines in conjunction with the alignment tool to easily pull off otherwise impossible alignments and distributions in PowerPoint. First, you’ll explore how to use lines to align the odd sides of shapes in PowerPoint. Next, you’ll discover how to align things to objects that are set on your Slide Master (like your Headers and Footers). Finally, you’ll learn how to align objects between slides so that everything lines up perfectly as you flip between your slides during your presentation. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Advanced Alignment Techniques needed to quickly iron out any alignment inconsistencies in your layouts, so that your slides look more professional and polished.

This course is a partner presentation by Nuts & Bolts for PowerPoint.
