I feel like normally these types of videos present the most basic tips for noobs as "hacks"--but this video is showing some serious genius tips that really DO count as hacks. Love it. Thank you

The video itself is an artwork, this woman deserves a subscribe.

You just seriously changed my life! I'm Deaf & I make presentations constantly with a lot of visual aids. I had no idea about these shortcuts. You ROCK!

[HubertKirchgaessner]

This is awesome, Leila! As a frequent presenter, I will apply these skills right away. thank you so much!

[ScaryGamesInMyHeart]

Really well done- thank you! I appreciate how you illustrate and talk about each step, each button click.

[lonestarst]

I do not think I can overstate the value this presentation has been for me as a resource. From even some of my toughest professors, at a graduate level, they will seemingly go out of their way to acknowledge the quality or effort of my PowerPoint(s).

[melindamdobbs]

This presentation has got to be one of the best, easy-to-follow presentations in this space! Amazing tutelage. I will be coming back for more.

[SuperWolfkin]

Is it really safe to keep blowing my mind like this?

[brianteague]

Leila - Another GREAT video! Thank you for sharing the morphing tip. That is super easy to do & creates a cool effect. That morphing tip & ditching the tradition bullet points are going to help me up my game creating presentations.

[jamescoffman]

This is by far one of my favorite tutorials. I have been using this functionality for years, but I forget about some of the features (like the morphing dissimilar images into each other) Came back again today because I knew you would show me how. Knocked out a great morph transition in minutes, that would have been nearly impossible to pull off with out this. Thank you for all your wonderful tips.

While it's easy to convert a regular text box to a SmartArt and a SmartArt to a regular graphic, the reverse isn't. Since bosses and clients are notorious for changing their minds on what they want, I always tell my students to drag a copy of the object to the side before converting. If you need to change it later on, you can simply use the backup element.
If you simply want to change the colors of the SmartArt elements, there is no reason why you'd have to convert at all. Just select the element in question and use the Format bar to change it. You could also convert the shapes to another one (in your example if you fancy say crosses instead of circles) or make them bigger or smaller. The trick is that it will still be a SmartArt so if you want to add a fourth element or longer text, the SmartArt with its quarter circle would adapt. But if you want to use Morph like you did, you'd have to convert it so that you can drag the quarter circle someplace else.
It should be noted that Morph is only available if you either have Office 365 or Office 2019. Enhanced Morph looks like it's a terrific idea. Looking forward to using it once it become available.

Thanks for the tips. I am now in a new job where a lot of my work is instructing and PowerPoint is used for most delivery methods. These tricks definitely are helping me make my presentations less miserable

[HenriGrau]

Thanks for the morphing tip and for making all your lessons accessible through closed caption. These tips are definitely going to up my game in creating PowerPoint presentations.

[TsiriniainaRakotonirina]

Wow, wow, wow, wow!!!! You don't know what you did to me today!
17years I used Powerpoint, I thought I mastered it, but no, I was wrong. How lovely was the change you taught me today. God bless you soooo much
You deserved my subscription today

[mobr.]

I am an expert in PowerPoint and I learned something new. So, well done and thank you.

[Gabriel-qufb]

hi i just wanna say from experience... no matter how fancy your power point is if you don't study your topic or just read off of your ppt then you won't impress anyone...



on another note: I am using these techniques thank you ❤

[kimbogle]

I literally followed along and I can’t wait to use these techniques in class.
Thank you so much

[franklynmanuel]

Came across this YouTube channel while I was searching for an excel function and now I have started watching all the videos . Very informative and clearly explained

[ShannonMollenhauer]

Great tips regarding animation and morphing. The only piece I struggle with is having to manually group and ungroup smart art objects and change numbers manually. But, to accomplish the results you demonstrated, it's a small price to pay. Makes people think more about their presentation and that should be the point, anyway!

[justbeadaydreamer]

Oh my God! This is genius! I'll use it for sure. I haven't seen anything as useful as this on YT. Great work, thank you so much!
