Best Practices (Tips and Tricks)

  • For better placement of text avoid use of large variations in font size of text in a single line. The use of single or multiple characters with large font size the rest of the text may be vertically raised higher.
  • The use of spaces in place of tabs will lead to faster conversion.
  • Use auto fit option or manually create text boxes to fit text by dragging.
  • Use Format - Bullets and Numbering. Option instead of selecting bullets from the toolbar.
  • Avoid rotation in case of auto shapes and word art.
  • Use ungrouped text for better quality outputs.
  • Resize Images outside PowerPoint before using in slides to get better quality of Images in output.
  • Speed of the moving object for the motion path may vary.
  • Start the custom path from the object’s original position.
  • If more than 1 motion path is applied on the same object, and the second motion path is to start from the end position of the first path, then in this case, second effect will start from the original position of the object and so on.
  • Auto reverse is supported but Reverse-Path direction is not supported.
  • Animation Sound on motion path is not supported.
  • Output may vary in case of custom path, if starting position of the custom path is not same as object’s original position or original path is extended.
  • Order of the motion path effects will remain the same as applied in the presentation.
  • Moving Gif will not play, if any effect is applied on it.
  • Repeat for “Until End of Slide” and “Until Next Click” will keep on play for the end of the slide.
