Let’s assume that you already used some picture slide layouts from PowerPoint Designer, as explained in our Working With Pictures in PowerPoint Designer in PowerPoint. And now, you want to change the picture used, or even add another picture. You’ll discover that changing pictures is not too easy, because PowerPoint does not respect the proportions of the picture you are replacing, and almost places a new picture without any concerns about visual aesthetics.

Most applications underline everything you select. The process is simple: you select a word, a sentence, or even an entire paragraph, and then press a keyboard shortcut or choose an option so that all the selected text is underlined. PowerPoint behaves the same way, but there’s a difference — not in the resultant text, but in how the text appears. Let us not forget that PowerPoint is a large format, more akin to a billboard than a business card, and text is often projected at large sizes.

One way in which you can use the PowerPoint Designer feature is with pictures on your slides, where you will save immeasurable time arranging, resizing, and adding specific picture layouts. Microsoft’s Office intelligent services which provide artificial intelligence to make this happen show readymade options for you to choose from some amazing options. Even better, did you know that these suggestions also show for pictures you insert via the cool Photo Album feature—you can thus literally create a photo book from hundreds of pictures in mere minutes!

PowerPoint design is a field of design that’s different than the design of brochures, web sites, and even Word documents. It affords opportunities that these other media do not, and it also does not provide some options you may be used to, especially if you are a print designer. So, what if PowerPoint itself showcased these presentations-specific design opportunities or design possibilities for you? You could then choose to apply a possibility with one click, or ignore—it’s your decision. Wouldn’t that be awesome?

While PowerPoint Designer is an amazing feature, it’s true that it can be somewhat bothersome at times, especially when you are in a hurry or know what you exactly need. When you want some breathing space, you can, fortunately, instruct PowerPoint Designer to not show up. How do you instruct PowerPoint Designer to be unobtrusive?
