WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.910 In this lecture, you are going to learn some resizing shortcuts and you will 00:00:05.910 --> 00:00:10.830 also learn how to customize the icons that we have added in the previous 00:00:10.830 --> 00:00:17.850 lecture. As said before, these are general icons, that means these are not inserted 00:00:17.850 --> 00:00:22.560 using font awesome. So PowerPoint treats them as a shape 00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:30.330 instead of font. So to resize them, you can just select any icon and resize them 00:00:30.330 --> 00:00:37.370 manually using these resize dots. But sometimes while resizing you may 00:00:37.370 --> 00:00:43.719 collapse the structure or the aspect ratio. Let me undo it. 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:53.469 So to increase them proportionately, you can go to format and size, then expand 00:00:53.469 --> 00:01:00.520 this, size and position. Alternatively, to get into this size and 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.150 position, right click 00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:12.650 this icon, go to format graphic, come to this size and properties tab. 00:01:12.830 --> 00:01:19.430 Now make sure you have enabled lock aspect ratio. After that, if you increase 00:01:19.430 --> 00:01:24.910 the height or decrease the height or increase the width or decrease the width, 00:01:24.910 --> 00:01:32.450 then you can resize the icon proportionately. The another great way to 00:01:32.450 --> 00:01:40.190 resize these icons or any shapes or any image is by using shortcut keys in 00:01:40.190 --> 00:01:46.070 keyboard. These are called resizing shortcuts. Let me place this icon here. 00:01:46.070 --> 00:01:55.010 Now when I resize this icon, it restricts me from custom resizing spots, because it 00:01:55.010 --> 00:02:00.020 automatically aligns me to this proportioned positions, like these red 00:02:00.020 --> 00:02:06.890 dots and the direct slide end or a slight corner. So if I wish to fine-tune 00:02:06.890 --> 00:02:15.070 this, then hold alt key and then resize the icon or the image, which will 00:02:15.070 --> 00:02:23.300 temporarily disable these guides. So you can resize without using the guide. This 00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:31.129 is the use of Alt key in our keyboard. Next let's assume that I have placed 00:02:31.129 --> 00:02:39.980 this icon in the center of this circle. Now I wish to resize it so that this 00:02:39.980 --> 00:02:47.090 icon gets accommodated inside the circle. So if I just resize it plainly, then it 00:02:47.090 --> 00:02:55.160 gets off-center. So I might need to recenter it again. Instead if I place it 00:02:55.160 --> 00:03:03.650 in the center and press control shift and then resize, it resizes along the 00:03:03.650 --> 00:03:07.599 center. 00:03:10.610 --> 00:03:19.820 This gets enlarged or reduced along the center. I'm just holding ctrl + Shift key 00:03:19.820 --> 00:03:24.440 together. Next to take a copy of this icon, 00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:32.930 hold ctrl key, click and drag this icon. In this way, you can take a copy of this 00:03:32.930 --> 00:03:38.690 icon. So these are the three main shortcuts, that we have learnt till now. 00:03:38.690 --> 00:03:45.880 The fourth one is by using just the shift key. Let me explain that using this shape. 00:03:45.880 --> 00:03:53.150 When I just expand the shape or resize it, you can see the proportion is getting 00:03:53.150 --> 00:03:57.370 changed. So let me undo. 00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:04.439 To resize the shape, preserving the proportion. If I hold shift key and 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:12.939 resize it. Even if I change or move the mouse, along the length or breadth, the 00:04:12.939 --> 00:04:20.709 proportion is maintained. This is also useful when you draw a perfect square or 00:04:20.709 --> 00:04:28.870 a perfect equilateral triangle or a perfect circle. So to draw those perfect 00:04:28.870 --> 00:04:35.050 shapes, you just need to hold shift key. So these are the four main shortcuts 00:04:35.050 --> 00:04:40.419 that you need to know while designing PowerPoint slides. Let me reiterate them. 00:04:40.419 --> 00:04:48.599 The first one is Alt key, which enables you to move or resize an 00:04:48.599 --> 00:04:57.180 image without the guidelines. The next one is ctrl shift, which enables you 00:04:57.180 --> 00:05:04.740 to resize along the center. The third one is control key, which 00:05:04.740 --> 00:05:14.550 enables you to take a copy of anything, a safe a text or an icon anything. The 00:05:14.550 --> 00:05:22.169 fourth one is shift key, which enables you to resize proportionately or to even 00:05:22.169 --> 00:05:29.850 draw a perfect shape like square, circle or equilateral triangle. Now let me 00:05:29.850 --> 00:05:36.580 delete the unwanted icons. In the next lecture, you will learn how 00:05:36.580 --> 00:05:44.020 to format the background and change the default color scheme of a PowerPoint 00:05:44.020 --> 00:05:46.800 presentation.
