In this lecture, you will learn several tips and tricks in PowerPoint grouping.
To make a group, we need several elements. So let's add a few elements into our
PowerPoint slide, so that we can group them. First I am going to insert a text
box and
I'm going to type some text.
Okay I have completed typing the text. Let me realign it. Now I'm going to
insert another shape. Let it be a circle.
And I'm also going to insert another shape, which is going to
be a dotted line. So let me add a line arrow.
and to customize it, you need to go to form a shape. Let me change the dash type
two dots and increase the width. So that you can see it clearly. And change the
cap type to round and the end arrow type to oval. So these three or three
different elements, which we are going to group now. To group multiple elements
like this you need to select them all and then press ctrl G on the keyboard.
And if you want to ungroup them, then press control shift G, which will revert
it back to the previous grouping level. Alternatively you can group them by
right-clicking, go to group and select group. To ungroup them right click group
and then ungroup. Regroup transfers them to the previous grouped state, such as let
us assume that I want to make these two as a group.
So I am grouping them first. Now I wish to group this line along with this group. So we
are grouping a group along with an individual element. Let's go to group and
group again. Now if I ungroup them, then I will be able to regroup them. Regroup is
just like an undo, i.e. ctrl Z state. So it's not that special, you can
just use group or ungroup in PowerPoint, that's enough. Don't confuse yourself
with this regroup feature. You won't be using it most of the time. But where this
grouping is useful is while animating all these shapes. I will explain this,
while we are getting into the animations part. As you can see this font is not as
elegant as this subtitle or even our headline. You can also see that the
headline that we have added in the earlier lectures is much elegant than
this one. Because I am using a custom google font called Montserrat.
Whereas these fonts are the default ones that come with PowerPoint, such as
'calibri, calibri light or calibre for body. All these are the default fonts. So
in the next lecture you will learn how to install and add additional custom
fonts or google fonts into your PowerPoint slide.
