- Now let's go ahead and add some shapes
to our presentation.
Now, before we do that, I'm going to insert a slide.
So I'm going to, down to the bottom of my presentation,
click below the last slide and from the home ribbon,
I'm going to do "new slide", "blank".
And that gives me a blank slide.
So let's go ahead and insert an image.
We're going to go "insert pictures" from this device,
and I'm going to select this one here
of the guy launching the drone .
And let's go ahead an^d move that over to the left.
Now let's go ahead and start working with shapes.
So from the home ribbon, you'll see over here,
we have this menu of different types of shapes.
If I click on it, you can see,
we have a whole bunch of different shapes that we can use.
Now I'm going to select the oval.
So let's go ahead and left-click on it
and then left-click and drag to make an oval.
Now, when I let go, you get the same types of handles
you will have on text boxes and images,
allow us to change it however we want.
But I'm going to go ahead and delete this.
So let me show you a little trick.
Now, if you want to get something that's perfectly round
create a circle and you'll notice there's no circle tool.
So all you have to do is left-click the oval.
And then left-click once in your presentation
and that will create a perfect circle.
Now the same goes for the rectangle tool and squares.
Now, once I have this, I can hold down the shift key,
grab the corner and make this as big as I want.
Now I want to change the way that this looks.
So when I have this selected,
you'll see that we have a format menu here,
and this allows us to format the shape however we want,
or we can do it manually.
So for shape fill,
I'm actually going to select kind of a medium gray.
And then for the outline, I want to make the outline bigger.
So I'm going to go "shape outline",
and then under "weight" I'm going to make it six points.
Now this is a blue outline.
So I want to change that to something a little bit
different.
So I'm going to make that kind of a light gray.
Now, one of the nice things about
shapes such as this is that they are also text boxes.
So I can start typing in text.
(Typing)
Now, as you can see, I have kind of a round text box here,
which is kind of neat.
Now, if I want to, I can select that text box,
go over to my home menu and I can change the text,
just like I would with any other type of text.
I can change the size of it. I can change the color.
I can also change the type of font.
Now, one of the things I'm noticing here is that
these two elements in the slide are separated.
And so it's not really a unified slide.
So I'm going to go ahead and select this image and delete it
And it starts something else.
Now I want to insert something that fills the whole slide.
And so that's best done as a background image.
So if you remember,
we can do background images by going into "design",
"format background", "picture or texture fill".
So from "picture source"
I'm going to do "insert", "from a file",
And then I'm going to find this image here called
"unmanned copter" and hit "insert".
Now this brings it in as a background
and it fills the screen, and this is much more impactful.
