The “R” has an Inner Shadow on the top letter and a Perspective Shadow on the bottom letter. In the example above, the R, A, and P all have stacked, double letters. If you want to use more than one of the same effect (such as shadows) on the same character, here’s the workaround: Stack the characters (either aligned, offset a bit, or in different sizes) and apply one different shadow effect to each. Also, you can use more than one of the same effects on the same text block, as long as each character, word, or sentence is highlighted individually. Note: You cannot use two of the same type of effects on one character-each letter is limited to one Shadow, Reflection, et cetera-but you can use multiple different effects on a single character-each letter can have one Shadow, one Reflection, and one Glow effect. Repeat this process to add three more, different shadows to the remaining text. In the Shadow task pane, review the options: Color, Transparency, Size, Blur, Angle, and Distance, then customize your shadow. In the Format Shape submenu, click Text Options, and the center “A” (Text Effects). With this letter still highlighted, click the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the WordArt Styles group.
Roll your cursor over the first effect: Shadow, then choose a shadow preset from the list.
Highlight the first letter T, and click the bottom “A” (Text Effects) in the WordArt Styles group. Notice a new tab appears called Drawing Tools/Format.Ĭhoose a fill and outline color from the color palette for each of the four characters.
To select text, click anywhere on the target text box. The text must be selected to access the text effects menu. Special effects include Shadow, Reflection, Glow (+ Soft Glow), Bevel (a.k.a., 3D Format), Transform, and 3D Rotation. Highlight the S and choose a pattern from the Pattern library, then select the foreground and background colors and a matching outline.Ģ. Next, choose a line color that works well with the image. This element can come from a file on your hard drive, the Internet, or an image copied and pasted onto your clipboard. Highlight the E and choose a Picture or Texture fill. You can also choose a number of style options to customize outlines. You can adjust the type, direction, angle, stops (number of gradient levels), colors, position, transparency, and brightness on both the fill and outline. Preset (sample) gradients are available or you can create your own using the options in the gradient task pane. Select a solid fill with a gradient line on the H, and a gradient fill with a solid line on the U. Note: If the text is not highlighted, the effects you choose are not applied. In the Format Shape submenu, click Text Options, then click the first “A” (it looks underlined) for Text Fill & Outline. Highlight, then right-click the H and select Format Text Effects from the Context menu. On the first slide, type a word (HUES, in my example) as H, U, E, S in four separate text boxes (in a large, thick font). Text Fill and Outline (from the Context menu) (Note: The fonts have been sized at 200 points for these exercises, so the effects can be easily viewed on smaller screens.)ġ. If blank, choose a background color, gradient, texture, or image. Although not really classified as effects, the Text and Outline Fill provide several options such as Solid colors, Gradients, Pictures or Textures, and Patterns to get you started. Special effects in PowerPoint are minimal, but you can combine effects to create some interesting visuals. Now, add some flashy text to that mix-judiciously-to give your ideas more sizzle. You always need good, well-written content, engaging graphics, and chic animations. Here’s one more secret to help your PowerPoint slides sell.
