The manual also serves as a tool to simplify the creation of PowerPoint presentations for individual users, enable the seaml
7、ess transfer of PowerPoint data formatted to a common standard, for all to use.NoteTo complement this manual, a PowerPoint data bank, based on a “Digital Asset Management” system is planned. The system will enable users to access existing PowerPoint presentations and reuse complex and time consuming
8、 slides. To accomplish this, it is essential that future COWI PowerPoints adhere to the guidelines of this manual. This manual is designed to be used when designing COWI-specific PowerPoint presentations and not as a general PowerPoint tutorial. However, a range of the most effective methods and too
9、ls required to create professional looking PowerPoint presentations, are covered. An existing basic knowledge of PowerPoint is required.This manual basic techniques and does not include instructions on how to integrate audio/video, actions, exportsformats or online features etc. The COWI PowerPoint
10、design manualWelcome to 03.07.044Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#IntroductionPowerPoint is found in numerous forms and media, but generally speaking there are two basic types: accompanied and unaccompanied PowerPoint presentations. This manual has been compiled f
11、or accompanied PowerPoint presentations. Accompanied PowerPoint presentationsIn this respect, PowerPoint should be viewed as nothing more or less, than a “visual aid”, that simply supplements the speaker. The routined speaker, who is experienced in his/her subject, will often require little more tha
12、n a basic PowerPoint in the form of headings and bullet points with the support of a straightforward graphics. As most presentations are given to an audience using a projector, this makes demands on legibility, due to the often difficult lighting conditions and varying viewing distances. The PowerPo
13、int design therefore has a graphic language that shares a familiarity with i.e. signs and posters. This means that graphics are likely to appear relatively crude, and therefore requires a visual makeover to ensure all graphics fullfills their purpose - functionally as well as aesthetically. The acco
14、mpanied PowerPoint has strengths in animation. Animations can create an area of focus by highlighting a particular point. This does, however, require perfect synchronisation between the speaker and the animation if the presentation is to run seemlessly. Generally speaking, it can be said, that the d
15、egree of animation used should be directly proportional to the speakers routine and acumen on the spoken subject. The use of any animation is very much a question of individual character, but be cautious; any uncoordinated animation can spoil the impression of even the best designed PowerPoint prese
16、ntation. Be careful not to create an overload of information. Bear in mind that the audience are expected to read the content while being addressed. This means that large amounts of text and or complex graphics in PowerPoint are not the ingredients for communicating effectively. So, refrain from usi
17、ng the PowerPoint presentation itself as your own notes. Instead, use the “Notes Pane” for speaker notes, limiting the use of PowerPoint itself to cues and bullet points. Your notes can be printed using the “Notes Pages” print function and have these in front of you when presenting. Note: Naturally,
18、 the accompanied PowerPoint will not work optimally without its accomplice, the speaker. Should the presentation be made either unaccompanied or published in a printed form, then additional explanatory text should be added.Types of PowerPoint presentations 03.07.045Publisher: COWI Corporate Communic
19、ationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#IntroductionThe unaccompanied PowerPoint presentationIn many respects an unaccompanied PowerPoint stands in stark contrast to the accompanied.Obviously, the biggest difference is the need to include all the necessary information to fully understand the content. On
20、the other hand, the unaccompanied PowerPoint is often interactive. Here, interaction mainly means giving the user control over the timing of the presentation. This requires careful editing in terms of the amount of information contained on each slide. This also applies to the accompanied PowerPoints
21、. The unaccompanied PowerPoint is also ideally suited for multimedia applications. Furthermore, the choice of media and the viewing distance play an important role in the unaccompanied PowerPoint. Typically, a PC monitor will be the media. This allows for a considerable amount of information, of hig
22、h graphic complexity on each slide. A parallel can be drawn between the type of graphic communication of an unaccompanied PowerPoint and that of i.e. websites, than what would be characteristic of the accompanied PowerPoint. This section of COWIs PowerPoint manual, by the way, is a typical example o
23、f the unaccompanied PowerPoint. Note: This manual has been authored with the accompanied PowerPoint in mind. Types of PowerPoint presentations 03.07.046Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#The virtually universal distribution of PowerPoint, as an integrated part of th
24、e MS Office suite, has made the program a generic brand, this, ironically, has resulted in many users not giving PowerPoint due credit as a professional communications tool. PowerPoint presentations convey a companys level of communication, in the same manner as other professional media, such as web
25、sites, annual reports etc. and should therefore abide by the same high requirements to quality. So, contrary to common belief, there is no mitigating circumstances for promoting less than professional visual communication in PowerPoint. For that reason, please adhere to the manuals guidelines and al
26、ways use professionally made illustrations and photos, especially when making external and public presentations! It takes very little to compromise a presentation. A single “homemade” illustration, can reverse the good impression, even of an otherwise perfectly designed PowerPoint. Presentations des
27、ign for external useThe quality of visual communication highly influences how a company is perceived and ultimately even affects share price. For this reason, it makes good business sense to use professional designers when creating important presentations for external use.If an independent designer
28、is briefed and prepared using the manuals guidelines containing the necessary basic material, then production costs will be reduced substantially. IntroductionExternal and public presentations03.07.047Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#IntroductionThe manual is buil
29、t on the principle of an introductory text concerning a number of important conditions relevant to PowerPoint. This is both generally and more specifically about the use of the manual. Next, a number of working examples are available, based on typical COWI slide types - all compiled as variations fr
30、om a predefined master set. Furthermore, the manual assists with comments, where relevant, to a particular example. These comments are displayed in the “Notes Pane” window at the bottom of the PowerPoint interface. If the “Notes Pane” window is not visible, then it can be activated by clicking on th
31、e “Panes” icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the PowerPoint interface. The creation of COWI PowerPoint presentationsThe manuals working examples make up the basis upon which all new COWI presentations should be created. New presentations are created by choosing the slide designs in the manual th
32、at are appropriate for a new presentation. The remaining slides are deleted and the presentation is saved under its own file name. The manuals existing text and graphics can then be adapted to the actual content. Exceptions to the above method are slide types such as “Title Master”, “Bulleted List”,
33、 “Title Only” and “Blank”. These can all be inserted directly from the “New Slide” menupoint under Insert, and will be correctly formatted in accordance with the definitions in the manual. Note: The above procedure, is determined by an inherent PowerPoint 2000 and partly 2002 limitation. This is the
34、 case for only one predefined master slide set, as well as the lack of options available to customise PowerPoints graphic defaults under the menu “New Slide” and “Insert chart”. The principle of the manual03.07.048Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#IntroductionA des
35、ign manual is not necessarily a constraint on creativityThere is, for the creatively minded, always ample opportunity for personal development within the manuals framework. In addition to this even the most comprehensive manual must allow for unforeseen circumstances. Situations will no doubt occur,
36、 where the manual will prove inadequate. Here the user must decide how best to tackle the specific design problem. The manuals intentIn circumstances where the manual proves inadequate, it is important to interpret the intent of the manual. The manuals intent can be interpreted simply by asking the
37、question: “How would the specific design problem have been solved, had it already existed in a manual?”. This is, of course, easier said than done if you are not a professional designer. However, you can make considerable progress by seeking inspiration from the manuals existing designs.Custom desig
38、n solutionsPowerPoint can, in some instances, be so demanding that neither the manual nor an interpretation of its intent will suffice when performing a task. The answer is to seek professional assistance from an external PowerPoint professional. Deviations from the guidelines03.07.049Publisher: COW
39、I Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#FeaturesA special image photo catalogue has been devised for exclusive use in COWI PowerPoint presentations. The catalogue contains themed groups, that cover all COWI business areas. This will enable individual departments to define a unique pro
40、file by choice of images. Implementation: The images are not created with any particular illustration purpose in mind, but can be used to ad mood and style to presentations. Be sensitive when creating a reasonable balance between factual content and images, so the essence of the message remains clea
41、r. Design: All photos are available in two versions, colour and duotone. All the colour and duotone photos, are specially calibrated to a style that is dictated by the PowerPoint manuals basic colour scheme. The result is a consistency between images, irrespective of subject or motif, that can be fr
42、eely assembled to create a consistent impression without disrupting the presentation.Formats: Images are proportioned precisely to the manuals five image modules and do therefore not require any further adaptation before use. Go to guides (shortcut: “control-G”) before inserting image. See slides no
43、. 85-93, under “Image modules and inserts” Scope: There are presently 150 photos in the collection. This is built on 15 basic photos in 10 variations (5 different image modules and two colour variations - colour and duotone). Access: If the PowerPoint design manual is installed correctly, accessing
44、the photo catalogue can be achieved directly on the PC using PowerPoints “Clip Organizer”: Click on the “Insert Clip Art” icon in the “Draw” lower menu bar or go to the top menu bar and choose “Insert/Picture/Clip Art” . The “Insert Clip Art” pane opens at the right-hand side of the screen. Click th

62、lettesPowerPoint is in fact not just one, but two programmes - PowerPoint itself and the add-in programme named MS Graph. MS Graph is used for implementing charts in PowerPoint. MS Graph is an independent programme, but still retrieves most default settings from the active PowerPoint configuration.
63、Unfortunately, the integration between PowerPoint and MS Graph is incomplete. This is of particular consequence for the colour palettes. Microsoft has implemented different colour palette layouts for each of the two programmes. Furthermore, each colours position in the overall “Colour Scheme” active
64、ly determines which specific PowerPoint graphic element is allocated that colour per default. That also applies to various elements in MS Graphs diagrams. This of course has an effect on the colours physical position on the palette. Furthermore, there is a big difference in the capacity of the two p
65、alettes. The PowerPoint colour palette.PowerPoint allows a maximum of 16 defined colours. Of these, 8 are found in the “User Defined” section. But as this section is dynamic, the colours will be replaced as the user defines additional new colours. Therefore, the user definition of colours - using th
66、e “More Colours” function - should be avoided, if the 8 colours available in the colour selector are to be maintained.MS Graph Colour PaletteMS Graph, on the other hand, allows for a maximum of 56 permanently defined colours. At the same time, only 6 of these automatically correspond to PowerPoints
67、own colour palette. The remaining 12 of the manuals 16 colour palette must be manually coded. In addition to this, the colour palette is not the same throughout the presentation, but individual for each of the manuals diagrams.Note: On the following two slides, colour overview panels have been creat
68、ed to illustrate the differences between PowerPoint and MS Graph with regard to colourpalette layout.03.07.0415Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#PowerPoint colour schemePrimary colour palette (static)As found in the color schemes permanent paletteSecondary colour p

The Masters defines all the basic commo
80、n design components. The Master design is implemented globally for all existing, new, and subsequently imported slides.Master text information: With the exception of the presentation title (in the case of the present manual “COWI PowerPoint design manual”), never edit the master slide! All other tex
81、t information that works on the master slide is implemented as “Header and Footers”. See slide 19 for a more detailed description of this function.Slide Master: With the exception of the “Title Slide”, then the “Slide Master” is the basis for all other slides in the presentation. Title Master: This
82、is primarily used as a start, agenda, content, chapter or exit slide. For alternatives the master illustration can be replaced with type M1 photos. Handout Master: Use, for example, handouts to publicise the entire presentation in print. Handouts layout can be configured from two to nine slides per
83、page under the “Handout” section in the “print” dialogue box. The master is designed to print pages in portrait A4 format. Notes Master: Use the notes master to, for example, print cue cards for each individual slide in the presentation. The notes master will automatically format speaker notes from
84、the “Note Pane” to a legible typographic layout. Preview and edit speaker notes in the “View/View Notes page”. The master is designed to print pages in portrait A4 format. Note: If the master components on a slide are incorrectly formatted, they can be restored by choosing “Format/Slide Layout” from
85、 the topmenu. The “Slide Layout” pane opens at the righthand-side of the window and the currently assigned layout is automatically highlighted. Right-click the highlighted layout, and choose “Reapply Layout” from the popup menu. You can also change the current layout to a different one, if needed.Th
86、e four Masters of the PowerPoint manual 03.07.0418Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#ConfigurationHeader and footerCOWI PowerPoints always contain a range of standard information: Title, author, date and slide no. This information appears on the four PowerPoint mast
87、er slides: “Slide, Title, Notes and Handout Master”. All this information is defined via “Header and Footers”, and should be inserted using this function. With the exception of the presentation title (in the case of the present “COWI PowerPoint design manual”), it is not necessary to insert informat
88、ion directly on the master slides. The header and footer procedure is simple:Select “View” from the top menu bar.Choose “Header and Footers” from the menuKey in your text in the dialog box and click “Apply to All” NoteThere is a separate tab for “Notes and Handouts” which also should be completed if
89、 you have a need for these.Be aware that the date field is preset to “Fixed”, so the date must be keyed in manually. It is important to observe the date format (DD.MM.YYYY) as the COWI PowerPoint is designed around this.If you click “Apply”, and not “Apply to All”, the settings in the “Header and Fo
90、oter” dialog, will only be applied to the currently selected slide(s).For further information on master slides, See slide 18. Titles, signatures and identification 03.07.0419Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#ConfigurationPropertiesCOWI PowerPoints should, for logis
91、tical reasons, be filed with the correct “File Properties” information. At some point, it will be possible to use this information as search criterias for a “Digital Asset Management” system.So, when a COWI PowerPoint document is filed under a new name, the “Properties” dialog box will automatically
92、 appear. If the displayed information is correct, then simply key “Enter”. Otherwise, you are given the opportunity to change the information.

Properties, identification and author signature 03.07.0420Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#ConfigurationIt is impossible to determine a
94、definitive set of rules for text size and level of detail in PowerPoint presentations. Due to variations in the projection equipment, the physical conditions of the room, lighting, view point and angle, these factors all affects the viewing experience when aiming for an optimal reproduction.Therefor
95、e, choose the lowest common denominator with a comfortable margin in relation to the physical conditions for your presentation. Remember to be consistent. If you are unfamiliar with the physical conditions for your presentation, then stick with the manuals definition of the lowest common denominator
96、. The graphic design in this manual has been optimized to work under relatively difficult physical conditions. Projector CalibratorThe “Projector Calibrator” is a specially developed utility, devised to from within PowerPoint itself, quickly calculate the optimal level of contrast and brightness fro
97、m the projector. The “Projector Calibrator” is included as an integrated part of the manual and is located in the folder “C:Programme FilesCOWI PowerPoint manual, under the file name”Projector Calibrator.ppt”. Always check the projectors light and contrast levels prior to presenting. Projectors are
98、rarely calibrated. Therefore, significantly better representations can usually be achieved. Most projectors have a simple user interface that can be controlled directly from the projector or remote control. Remember to bring the “Projector Calibrator” when you present!Note: If it isnt possible to ru
99、n the “Projector Calibrator”, you can use one of the colour panels in the manual to ensure that all the used colours in the presentation can be reproduced.Level of detail physical conditions03.07.0421Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#Tips & techniquesAlthough it is
100、 relatively simple to create a new PowerPoint presentation using the manual, applying a new design to an existing presentation can be challenging. There are a number of tools and methods that can significantly ease this task.Automatic formattingBasically, the manuals master components will be applie
101、d to the existing presentation. This is done by copying the old slides to the manual. (For claritys sake, the manual should already be reduced to just the most necessary slides). The outcome of this procedure will depend on what degree the old presentation observes PowerPoints default settings. All
102、the design components that conform with PowerPoints default values will automatically adopt the new COWI PowerPoint design. The exception will be positioning. Getting the correct positioning requires one additional step. Choose “Format/Slide Layout ” from the topmenu. With the “Slide Layout” pane no
103、w open at the righthand-side of the window, select the slides that needs repositioning and click on the desired layout in the “Slide Layout” pane. The highest level of automatic formatting has now been reached.Semi-automatic formattingFor those components that have not allowed themselves to be forma
104、tted automatically, there are still a number of semi-automatic components and formatting options that can significantly ease the workload. A description of these functions is found under the heading “Editing tools”, on the two subsequent slides. Also see slides no. 33-43, “Importing graphics and gra
105、phs”.Note: It is extremely important that the above procedure is followed. If the traditional way is chosen, where the old PowerPoint is opened first, followed by the command “Apply Design Template, with the “COWI PowerPoint design manual ppt”, then only “Slide Master” and “Title Master” will be app
106、lied. All other manual elements such as Guidelines, Notes Master, Handout Master, Custom Colours and Chart Colours, Headers and Footers etc. will not be transferred to the new document.

A thorough study of this section will undoubtedly save the PowerPoint user a lot of time in the future. Restoring master
108、textReapply Master: Often slides loose their original master text formatting. Typically the master text fields “Click to add Title” and or “Click to add text”, are missing and the existing text is incorrectly formatted in a standard text box. To re-establish the master components, choose “Format/Sli
109、de Layout” from the topmenu. The “Slide Layout” pane opens at the righthand-side of the window and the currently assigned layout is automatically highlighted. Right-click the highlighted layout, and choose “Reapply Layout” from the popup menu. Now the text can be inserted, using”Cut and Paste”, in t
110、heir respective master text field, but are still in their original incorrect format state. To correct formatting, repeat the command “Reapply Master” procedure.Outline Pane: Master texts can be restored by typing in the text directly in the “Outline Pane”. The Outline pane window can be found on the
111、 left-hand side of the PowerPoint interface. If the text is pasted in here, it will temporarily retain its original format (the positioning will be correct) Perform the “Reapply Master” procedure once more, and all formatting will correct.Paste Special: As an alternative to the above paste function,
112、 the command “Edit/”Paste Special/Unformatted Text” can be used. This text will immediately adopt the correct format and will no longer require the command “Slide Layout/Reapply Master”. For a more detailed description of paste special Note: See slide 26, The “Paste Special/Unformatted Text” is an e

120、imilar qualities. Here were talking of a mere cloning of the formatting by generating new PowerPoint autoshape components. Youll find the “Set Autoshapes default” command by right clicking the mouse and in the “Draw” menu in the lower left corner of the PowerPoint interface. The Set autoshapes defau

All subsequent autoshapes should now clone formatting from the chosen component un
122、til the “Set Autoshapes Defaults” command is reactivated with a new format. NoteThe use of “Set Autoshapes Defaults”, as a dynamic tool during the entire construction of a presentation, increases control and saves time. “Set Autoshapes Defaults” only supports simultaneous formatting (font, colour, l

Unformatted tex
125、t is precisely what is often needed in PowerPoint, where the text box content is always automatically formatted in advance. The text boxs formatting is usually controlled by either the Masters or by Autoshape defaults. (See the previous slide for a description of the “Autoshapes Defaults” command).
126、Pasting unformatted text results in the text always conforming to the text boxs format, which is often what is required. Text that is inserted using the normal paste command will, on the other hand result in, the text retaining its original format and thereafter require reformatting manually. Effect

Copy is usually collected from a diverse range of external sources (often with a number of different text formats). In these conditions the most effective method of applying th

PowerPoint offers a series of tools, that can a
130、ttain greater accuracy:Align and Distribute: The “Align and Distribute” functions are effective methods for quick and easy organising of numerous graphic components while maintaining accuracy. The function can be found in the “Draw” menu at the bottom left-hand corner. Align: The “Align” command arr
131、anges objects in a straight line relative to one another. Seven variations of this command are available: Top, Middle, Bottom, Left, Centre, Right and Relative to Slide. The procedure is simple:Multiselect (hold down the “Shift” key while selecting) the objects you wish to align, Go to the menu “Dra
132、w/Align or Distribute” and choose direction. The selected objects are now aligned and distributed toward the further object in the chosen align direction. It is a good idea to ensure that the furthest object in the alignment direction is placed correctly before executing the command. Distribute: The
133、 “Distribute” command arrange objects, so they become evenly distributed either horizontally or vertically. The procedure is simple:Place the two furthest objects in the row at the required distance. Multiselect (hold down the “Shift” key while selecting) the objects you wish to distribute. Go to th

135、te CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#Snap: PowerPoints “Snap” function, allows you to choose “Snap objects to other objects” as an alternative to the standard “Snap objects to grid” function. This function is found in the “Draw/Grid and Guides” menu in the lower left-hand corner. It is reco
136、mmended to turn on “Snap objects to other objects”, when precision requirements surpasses PowerPoints grid spacing. When “Snap objects to grid” is active, objects will simply snap to the nearest gridline. Alternatively, all snap functions can be switched off. Nudge: PowerPoints standard cursor step
137、size “Nudge”, can be reduced to 1/10, by holding down the control key while using the arrow keys. This is recommended when precision requirements surpasses PowerPoints default grid/nudge spacing. The function is particularly convenient for the precise positioning of text-boxes in relation to other g
138、raphic objects, since textboxes often has internal margins. Constrain: The “Constrain” command enables the repositioning of objects with the mouse on an exact horizontal or vertical path in relation to the objects original position. This is a great advantage, especially when working with “Snap to Gr
139、id” disabled. The “Constrain” command works by holding down the shift key as the object is moved with the mouse. Autoshape Connectors: The “Connectors” function is an effective way to connect objects by track lines. One typical example are flowcharts, where the connectors can be used with optimal ef
140、fect. Here it is especially the “Elbow Connector” type which is relevant. Connectors will, similar to most other autoshape types, automatically snap to the centre of the nearest edge of an object. A connector line will maintain the connection to its host object, even if it is moved. The “Connectors”
141、 function can be found in the “Autoshapes” menu at the bottom on the bars left-hand side. For an example in the use of the “Connector Tool” function See slide 83.Zoom: For precision work, PowerPoint allows zoom up to 400%. To zoom to the desired position, place the text cursor, or the select the obj
142、ect for the relevant focal point, prior to the zoom command being activated. Zoom will always be centred on the cursors position or on the selected object. If nothing is selected, the zoom will occur from the centre of the page. To return to to the full view, choose “Fit” from bottom of the combo bo
143、x list. The “Zoom” command can be found both in the combo box in the toolbar at the top of the interface, and under the “View” menu.

144、ic task to simultaneously create a legible and aesthetic typographical expression in PowerPoint. The very rudimentary graphic style, required by the large viewing distance during most presentations, has a tendency to appear coarse and unbalanced, unless created under well thought out graphic guideli
145、nes. In the case of COWI PowerPoints these guidelines would be: Exclusively use the Verdana typeface in COWI PowerPoints.Always use upper and lower case letters, never only upper case. Use a paragraph formatting with: Line space: 1 and space before paragraph: 0,50-0,75. This combination ensures that
146、 multiple line paragraphs, is clearly distinguished from numerous single line paragraphs just by pressing the “Return” key. Hence, this combination will not require additional blank lines between paragraphs. Line spacing is set by highlighting the relevant text, go to the top menu bar and choose the
147、 menu “Format/Line Spacing/ key in the desired values”. Bullet points should, ideally, not exceed 7 per slide. Avoid text indents beyond 2 levels. Using such large point sizes as used here, gives another impression that is neither aesthetic or legibleIf a forced line break is needed, do not use the
148、“Return” key. Instead, insert a new-line character by holding down the shift while hitting return. Of course, a similar result can be achieved by narrowing the text box, if the remaining text allows for this. To highlight text, use bold typeface, colour, or even a box in the background in contrastin

150、s most organizations has upper limits on the size of allowed email attachments. Optimizing images can help reduce the filesize of the presentation.Insert the wanted picture, either by choosing “Insert/Picture/From File ” from the top menu or by adding the picture to the Clip Organizer and dragging t
151、he image from the Clip Organizer onto the slide. Note: Never paste images into PowerPoint, as the filesize will increase tremendiously.If needed, crop the image using the crop tool from the Picture Toolbar.When the graphic has the correct size, and shows the wanted area of the image, select the imag

The Compress Pictures dialog appears.Make sure the “Selected Pictures” radiobutton is selected - otherwise every image throughout the presentation will be affected, which is not advisable.Choosing the correct resolution, depends on how the pr
153、esentation will be used. Select the “Web/Screen” radiobutton if the presentation is intended for onscreen display only, as this produces in the smallest possible filesize. On the other hand, if it is likely that the presentation will be printed, select the “Print” radiobutton. Depending on the image
154、, choosing “Print” can increase the size of the selected image up to 4 times, compared to choosing “Web/Screen”.Note: if the imported graphic is in the GIF format, do not change the resolution, as this will increase the filesize of the presentation. Note: changing the resolution automatically optimi
155、zes the size of the graphic. For example, if the graphic is resized to 50%, only one fourth of the pixels in the image, are actually visible. After changing the resolution with “Compress Pictures”, the number of pixels is reduced to only the visible pixels, hence the size will again be 100%.Leave “C

159、a new image you want to use as a full screen image (M1), use the following procedure:Open the new image in an image editor capable of opening files in the native Photoshop format (.psd).Open the COWI M1 template.Select the wanted area of the new image, and paste it into the template-file. If necessa
160、ry, rearrange the layers, so the layer order from the buttom up - reads Background, Layer 1 (the new image) and Drop-shadow. The new image now has a drop-shadow in the upper right corner.Depending on the image, the drop-shadow may need to have its lightness adjusted to make it stand out. Save the fi
161、le under a new name. Note: If the image contains lots of colors and subtle graduations, choose the JPEG format. Alternatively, if the image contains large areas of identical colors, choose the GIF format.Producing the drop-shadow from within PowerPointIf there is a remote chance that the presentatio
162、n will ever be printed, the drop-shadow effect cannot be achieved using semi-transparent bitmap images. Due to limitations in the PowerPoint printer mechanism, bitmap images that contains gradually fading transparency, will not fade into the underlaying image, but rather fade into white. At left, th

165、design manual#Tips & techniquesThe use of illustrations in the form of graphs, is one of PowerPoints strongest features. Ironically, the default configuration for graphs in PowerPoint/MS Graph are the worst imaginable, seen from a visual communications point of view. Experience shows, that an audien
166、ce will often not comprehend the many numerical entries of a default MS Graph graph, whereas the charts graphic features are more easily perceived. Therefore, it is recommended, that graphs should be clarified by extensive simplification. This manual shows, in the form of working examples, a series
167、of alternatives to default PowerPoint graphs. In situations where these working samples are insufficient, some general guidelines on the design of graphs in COWI PowerPoints are provided here:As a rule, use only 2D graph types, unless a 3D view is essential for understanding the data.Reduce the numb
168、er of decimals and forego tolerance figures, data labels etc. where they are not essential for the message. Show values in one place, globally, rather than on every unit along the axis. Avoid unnecessary check marks, gridlines, frames, drop shadows, contour lines and coloured or otherwise decorated
169、backgrounds.Use clear and distinctive colour signatures rather than gradients, bitmaps, textures or hatch patterns, or any combination of those. Avoid placing numerous small complex graphs on the same slide, especially if this results in the type size being reduced to less than the required legible
170、minimum. This applies even if these graphs have mutual relevance. Despite everything, it is better to “switch” between two or more slides, to illustrate a relationship, than showing an illegible slide. NoteAll omitted information can be re-activated for a printed, on-line or CD version of the presen
171、tation, where the recipients have the opportunity to study the material in closer detail.All graphs, that are designed directly in MS-Office programmes, allows for internal editing in PowerPoint. This is a significant time saving feature, especially for graphs that requires continual updating. There
172、fore as a rule, create your graphs directly in MS-Office programmes or better still, directly in PowerPoint/MS Graph.Using graphs03.07.0432Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#Tips & techniquesPowerPoint contains a number of “challenges” regarding the implementation o
173、f graphs. I.e. graphs that are manipulated under virtually any form, be it duplicated, copied, inserted or edited, will invariably adopt certain PowerPoint default settings. This will occur despite the existence of any predetermined styles, masters and colour palettes. In consequence, a completely n
174、ew graph defined in PowerPoint/MS Graph will need quite a few elements to be manually processed in order to concur with the manuals definitions. However, there are various “workarounds” for these problems:New graphs: If a new graph is to be implemented, and the graph is consistent with an existing g
175、raph design in the manual, “best practise” is to double-click on the graph that closest resembles the required design. Replace the numerical values in the graphs “Datasheet” interface with the relevant figures and, if necessary, adjust the axis ranges, units, values and number of entities. This meth
176、od will effectively retain the manuals graph definitions. To adjust graph formatting, double-click any graph element and the relevant “Format” menu will appear.Scaling graphs in PowerPoint: Proportional scaling of charts can of course be achieved directly in PowerPoints standard editing mode. This c
177、an be done using either numerical “Properties” (right mouse click) or directly by dragging the corner handles of the graph. However, beware that disproportional scaling of the graph, by dragging anything besides the corner handles, will result in deformation of the typeface and other graphic element
178、s! Also note that, using this method, the font size will be scaled regardless of the “Auto scale” setting in MS Graph - this applies for both proportional and disproportional scaling!Scaling graphs in MS Graph: “Best practise”, when scaling graphs takes place within MS Graph. Scale by double clickin
179、g the graph. This opens the graph in MS graph mode. Perform all scaling here, since this avoids deformity of fonts and graphics, even on disproportional scaling. Beware that the “Auto Scale” check box (shown with a red outline in the illustration) is not highlighted for the selected font in the “For
180、mat/Font” tab, during scaling. This will retain the chosen font size regardless of the scaling factor! Implementing graphs03.07.0433Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#Tips & techniquesTo implement types of graphs not found in this manual, the method resembles the on
181、e described under “New graphs” on the previous slide. The only difference is, that after double clicking on the existing graph, which closest resembles the required design, the proper graph type is subsequently chosen using the “Graph type” command (right-click mouse). Then again as in “New graphs”,
182、 replace the numerical values in the graphs “Datasheet” interface with the relevant figures. If necessary, adjust the axis ranges, units, values and number of entities. To adjust graph formatting, double-click any entity, and the relevant “Format” menu will appear. See the previous slide for guideli
183、nes regarding “Scaling graphs in MS Graph”.This procedure retains the greater part of the manuals formatting. It is by far preferable when compared to the implementation of a totally new graph, where virtually all of the graph components would have to be reformatted. Graph colour palettes - The COWI
184、 manual contra MS Graph defaults.One of the most important reasons that graphs should be implemented based on the manual graph designs, lies in PowerPoints lack of support for global implementation of customized colour palettes in MS Graph. Even when using the “Recolour Chart/Entire Colour Scheme” c
185、ommand on a graph, only a palette of 6 (outlined in red on the illustration) out of 16 defined manual colours (as shown opposite right) are attained. With the exception of these 6 “Colour Scheme” colours, the graph colour palette in PowerPoint is not global, which means that edited colours remain un
186、ique to the individual graph. See slide 36, paragraph: “Manual definition of colours in graphs”.New graph types - not included in this manual03.07.0434Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#Tips & techniquesA homogeneous visual expression is an important parameter for c
187、onsistent corporate designIdeally, a COWI PowerPoint presentation should not contain elements that appear visually apart in relation to the entire content. However, occasionally, graphs created in external programmes will appear in PowerPoint. Usually, these graphs do not adhere to the manuals speci
188、fications and, in many instances, have few or no editing capabilities within PowerPoint/MS Graph. Moreover, graphic and technical quality is often relatively poor, when compared to PowerPoints internal graphs. The use of these types of graphs should therefore be kept to a minimum. Implementing The C
189、OWI PowerPoint design manual in other programmesAs it is hardly realistic to completely avoid graphics from external sources, there is one suitable method that works. A graph design consistent with the manuals specifications can be achieved by implementing the colours and typography from the manual
190、into the external programmes. Many of these programmes, used in the creation of graphs, i.e. Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, MS Excel, accommodate user specified colour palettes, fonts and/or templates, that can be configured to the COWI PowerPoint design manual standard specifications. Note: The man
191、ual contains all necessary information on typography, graph design and definitions and application of colour. All colours in the COWI colour palette are represented as RGB values.

This type of graph can only be manipulated manually in PowerPoint. In order to manip
199、ulate it, the graph must first be converted to a “Microsoft Office drawing object”. To do this : Right-click on the object and choose form the menu “Group/Ungroup”.A dialog box appears asking if the object should be converted to a “Microsoft drawing object”. Answer “Yes”. The graph is now divided up
200、 and all its components are represented as individual objects. When the graph is ungrouped, all the components will become individual objects. Often a large number of excess “invisible” boxes will remain after the conversion. Usually, after this type of conversion, a large number of excess “ghosted”

Like PowerPoint, Excel uses MS Graph for its charts and diagrams, which of course is an advantage. Unfortunately,
204、MS Graphs specifications are not shared globally, so unless MS Graph is configured to the specifications in this manual in Excel, a special method for importing graphs from Excel to PowerPoint is needed. PowerPoint offers numerous methods of importing data, but only a few produce results acceptable

As a general rule, avoid direct imports !The most intuitive method for placing graphs from Excel in PowerPoint, is of course “Copy and Paste” or “Drag and Drop” directly from the Excel sheet or importing it as an XLS-file.

This procedure creates a true PowerPoint chart based on the manuals design. The method is as
211、 follows:In Excel - Open the XLS file, select the wanted datacells and copy them using control-C.Go to the COWI PowerPoint manual and choose the type of graph closest to the Excel graph. Double-click the graph. Choose the existing data in the “Sheet” window and replace them by pasting in the Excel d

Make any necessary adjustments to the axes scales, values, as well as unit positions and proportions (adjustments to the graphs format can be done by double clicking on the relevant range or unit, this is followed by the appearance of the “format/object” dialog box). This pr
213、ocedure ensures that the manuals graph formatting is observed. Clearly, this preferable to creating graphs form scratch, where nearly all the components will require reformatting.NotesThis method does not link Excel or the XLS file (Integrated or connected).

This procedure creates a complete PowerPoint graph based on the manuals design - while maintaining the option to edit in Excel, as the graph is automatically updated in PowerPoint, if the original
216、 Excel file changes (this requires, of course, that the path to the XLS file remains unchanged). The procedure is as follows: In Excel - Open an XLS file and “Edit/Copy” the data content from the spreadsheet.Go to COWIs PowerPoint manual and double-click on the graph type that is most suitable to th

This creates a connected PowerPoint graph, based on the format in Excel with the option to continue editing herein. This means, that the graph is
221、updated automatically in PowerPoint if the original file is changed (naturally, this is requiring that the path to the XLS file is unchanged).In Excel, first make sure that the graph is created on its own “New sheet”, and not “As object”. Also, that the XLS file is “saved” with the “graph” sheet as
222、active/visible (the graph sheet can, if necessary, be chosen after placing in PowerPoint). If not, the create a new graph using “graph guide”. The procedure is as follows:Choose the data range for the graph from the spreadsheetGo to the top menu bar and choose menu “ Insert” and then”graph” from the

If, to begin with, an Excel graph comes close to meeting the manuals specification, and only requires colour adjustment, then “Recolour” is an ideal solution.”Recolour” offers a quick and simple way to globa

234、”.Graphs from other programmes, MS Excel V03.07.0443Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#Tips & techniquesSome experience is required before exploiting PowerPoints full potential. This is particulary the case with regard to the use of animation. Animation can often be
235、 used creatively and as a dynamic alternative to static graphics. Animations ability to highlight any single component can create a more effective form of communication, especially when handling large amounts of information. However, creating a convincing animated presentation requires some routine.
236、 The use of animation in PowerPoint is, in many respects, a question of individual style, technique and know how. There are a few general guidelines, that are worth following: Always check, that runtime for an animation is synchronised with the presentation - not ruining the flow. Avoid all forms of
237、 animation that are smaller units than a text paragraph or an entire title. Use the ordinary given animations from the same type of animation family, throughout the presentation. Only in certain situations, where special effects are required, should you depart from this principle. Refrain from anima
238、ting over other primary graphics on the page (i.e. over an earlier animated part). Be conscious of the parts “layering” sequence, and arrange them so all the elements are animated consistently, either behind or in front of each other respectively. Generally avoid the use of sound effects.NoteAll gra
239、phs designed in MS-office programmes, allow for the animation of their own sub units. Be aware that internal graph animations often have slower timing than those in PowerPoint. Bearing in mind factors such as time and the general way animation is perceived, it is recommended that only main component
240、s be animated.See slides nos. 66 and 101 to 105 for work examples of user specified animations.See slide no. 5 “Accompanied PowerPoint presentations” for further comments about animation.Custom Animation 03.07.0444Publisher: COWI Corporate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#Tips & techniqueS
241、lides coming from different PowerPoints for integration, will often contain custom animations, that are incompatible in design. It can be a time consuming task to remove these animations individually. However, there is a simple method to remove all custom animations from a slide, in one operation. T
242、he procedure is as follows:Select all (shortcut “Control A”), and go to the menu “Custom Animation” (right-click mouse), the “Custom Animation” dialog box pops up.In the window “Check to animate slide objects”, multi-select all components (press the “Shift” key). All components are highlighted (both
243、 active and passive animations), See illustration.Click on the tab “Effects”. The “Animation and sound” combo box should appear with “No Effect”. In this combo box, any type of animation can be chosen i.e. “View”. All components in the “Check to animate slide objects” window are now ticked off.In th
244、e “Animation and sound” combo box choose “No Effect” again. All the components in the “Check to animate slide objects” window are now ticked off. Should the slide also contain internally animated graphs, then these should be chosen separately in the “Check to animate slide objects” window. Click the
245、 tab “Chart Effects”, and repeat the procedure described above. Click on the “OK” button and the slide is now completely free of custom animations.Note: The method may appear somewhat complicated but this is in fact not the case.

246、ate CommunicationCOWI PowerPoint design manual#Tips & techniquesTransitions can enhance the elegance and flow of PowerPoint presentations, but they can also have the adverseEffect, so transitions should allways be applied with due diligence. Consider whether the transition will suit the graphic cont
247、ent of the slides its going to acting with. I.e. Was the result, when both slides were partly revealed, an untidy picture during transition? Allow for the chosen transition to conform, in terms of style, to subsequent custom graphic animations, in the actual slide. As a rule, choose among the simple
248、 available transitions and preferably from the same family (e.g. Either the cover or uncover family). Only differ from this principal in particular conditions where special effects are required.As a rule, choose the fastest phase out speed.Never use the function “Random animation”. If there is too l
249、ittle time to assign individual animations, then choose a simple global transition, “Apply to all” command or choose “No transition”. Avoid the general use of sound effects. Be careful, that the slide change doesnt create a visual hopping effect due to mutually poor precision in the placing of graph
250、ic components. If it isnt possible to align the graphics, then the effect can be played by i.e. Choosing a transition that runs diagonally. NoteIn many instances, transitions can be an advantage when replacing custom animations of individual slide components. See slides 98-99.Transitions shown in th
