Step 4 − Use the color palette to choose the border color. Step 3 − Click on the Shape Outline to choose the border settings. Step 2 − Go to the Drawing group under the Home ribbon. Step 1 − Select the object (text box, image, chart, picture, etc.) to which you want to apply the border. The following are the steps that will help you apply borders in your presentation. Let’s see how it is done Applying Borders Your audience (and your message) will thank you.One can change the borders and shading for most of the content in PowerPoint 2010. I would suggest that you use these features sparingly so that the attention is directed at your content, not on the use of special effects. However, “dramatic” can often equal “distracting”. There are a number of Shape Effect options, and you can really do some dramatic effects. Now as you can see, there is a slight shadow on the image, and it has some depth to it (which makes it look more polished):Īs I mentioned at the top, this is best used (in my opinion) in a subtle fashion. For my example here, I’m simply going to take the Outer Shadow that offsets to the bottom right of the image: There are a number of options, such as outer shadows, inner shadows, and reflective perspectives. If I select the image, I can then use the Picture Tools Format > Shape Effects option to select Shadow effects for the picture: It’s functional, but it doesn’t stand out at all: When I start out with this image, it’s flat with a small blue border. However, you can use the Shape Effects option to add some depth to the image, and it can make your slides look a lot more professional. When you add an image into a PowerPoint slide, it normally starts out in a pretty flat state. This is a subtle tip (or at least it should be in my opinion).
