This paper takes an apple-shaped labeling frame that is difficult to make as an example to describe the design method of PPT's unique text labeling box. The following system home Xiaobian tells you how to use the PPT2010 to make an Apple frame. In the PPT demo, the annotation box is often used to write some descriptions and dialog texts. Although there are several annotation boxes available in the PPT shape, they are quite common. If you want a more unique label box, you still have to design it yourself. In the past, it was only possible to draw a label box by drawing curves and editing nodes. It was not only troublesome to operate, but also difficult to draw some special shapes. In PPT2010, four shape tools have been added. It is possible to superimpose and erase multiple custom graphics to draw special shapes, which makes the labeling of individual labeling changes very simple and easy. Let's take a look at an apple-shaped callout box that is hard to make. 1. Bring up the shape tool to open PPT2010, right-click on the ribbon and select “Customize Ribbon”, and select “Insert & rdquo; in the “Customize Ribbon” list on the right side of the “Powerpoint Options” window. ;Options, click the "New Group" button below, and add a "New Group (Custom)" under the "Insert" tab. Select “New Group (Custom)", click the “Rename” button, and enter the display name as “Graphic splicing” in the pop-up window to confirm the setting. In the "Select a command from the following location" drop-down list, select "ldquo; not in the ribbon's command", find and select the "shape cut out" command from the list below, click the middle “ add & rdquo The button adds it to the newly created “graphic stitching” group. Similarly, the following three commands of shape intersection, shape combination, and shape combination are also added to the "Graphics splicing" group (Fig. 1). Once you've determined that you're done setting up, you'll find the new "Graphics Stitching" group and four shape tools on the right side of the "Insert”" tab. 2. Draw the Apple Callout Box Now let's try how to quickly draw the Apple callout box with these four tools. Switch to the "Insert" tab, click on "Shape" and select "Ellipse", drag to draw a circle, copy it into two, adjust the position so that the overlapping parts form a leaf shape, select both Click on the circle and click on the shape intersection to create a leaf. Then draw two ellipses to adjust the angle and position to spell out the shape of the apple. Click on the "Shape" to select the basic shape of the "Hollow Arc". Draw a small arc as a handle and draw a triangle to make the tip of the callout box. angle. Put these into the shape of the apple label. Then hold down the Shift key and click the leaf first, then click the handle, two ellipse, and the label to select the five shapes at the same time. Click ““ shape union” to get an apple label (Figure 2). . Finally draw a small circle superimposed on the edge of the apple, hold down the Shift key, click on the apple and then click on the small circle to select the two shapes, click on “ shape to cut out & rdquo; you can bite off on the apple. Shape pruning is to prun out the overlap with other shapes from the first selected object, so if you select the small circle and then select the apple annotation, the result will become a small circle that is bitten. The default angle of the shape obtained by combining, union, pruning, and intersection is always the same as the angle of the first selected shape. If you want to get a mosaic shape without rotation angle, the first selected object must be horizontal, so we only need to select the leaves and then select other shapes when the shapes are combined. Although the angle of rotation does not affect the appearance of the shape, it directly affects the angle of the input text. In addition, these four tools are only valid for the graphics in the "shape" and are not valid for all shapes, like lines and connectors. Note: The effect of the shape combination tool is to combine all shapes and pruning the areas where the number of overlapping layers is double. In the case of three circle overlaps, the overlapping portions of the shapes and the overlapping portions of the three circles are preserved, and only the areas where the two circles overlap are cut off (Fig. 3). 3. Add text adjustment label box After entering the description, the dialogue text is simple, you just need to select the label box to input the label text directly from the keyboard. However, the entered text may exceed the shape edge, which can be adjusted by setting the text margin. Right-click on the text in the callout box to select “set text effect format”, set the "vertical alignment" in the "Set text effect format" window to the top alignment, if the lead angle is on the upper side The bottom alignment should be set. Then adjust the value of "Internal Margins" to the left, right, and top (bottom) so that the text fits within the shape. By clicking the value of the button to adjust the value, you can see the movement of the text in the shape in real time, which is easy to adjust (Figure 4). Note: The designed label box can still easily adjust the angle and length of the angle. Right click on the label box and select “Edit Vertex”. On the label box, many black squares (vertices) will be displayed. The vertices of the vertices can directly adjust the lead angle. 4. Color setting and then select the label box to select the ready-made shape style and the word style to set the color and effect in the “Format" However, setting a single color for complex shape annotations is obviously ineffective. In the case of apples, the body should be a red gradient, the leaves are green, and the fruit handles are brown. We need a trick that can set multiple colors for the same shape. Select Apple to press Ctrl+D to copy another Apple annotation, delete all the text, and set its “Shape Outline” to “No Outline” and “Sharp Fill”. Then draw a triangle set to brown to block the handle, draw a green oval to block the leaves. The shape used for occlusion is required to block the specified area, and the size box of the shape must not exceed the size box marked by Apple. Finally, select both triangles and the apple below to copy or cut, and then right-click on the original Apple callout box to select “Set Shape Format”. In the "Set shape format" window, select "Place" and click on the "Picture or texture fill" option, and then click the "Clipboard" button below to see Three different colors have been set on the Apple label (Figure 5). The above is the operation in PPT2010. In fact, you may prefer to use the self-made label box in Word and Excel. Unfortunately, these four shape tools are unique to PPT2010 and cannot be used in Word or Excel. However, we only need to add the label box designed in the PPT to the clip art library, and insert the personality label from the clip art in Excel and Word programs. Or design the personality label in the PPT and then directly copy and paste the past use. This article comes from [System Home] www.xp85.com
