Want to snazz up those clip art images in your PowerPoint presentations?

Here's two things you can do:

Changing colors within the clip art:

1. First, click on your clipart image so it is selected (has white boxes around it)  

2. Then, go to you view menu and go to "toolbars" and select your picture toolbar

3. On this toolbar, you will see a button for "recolor picture"......when you  click on this, you will get a box which shows all the colors in your clipart and you can change one or all of them to suit your needs.   

Animating separate pieces of a clipart image:

1. If you want different parts of an image to animate separately, you must remember that PowerPoint sees everything as objects and it sees your clipart image as ONE object.

2. If you want to see it as separate objects, you must select your clipart image, then go to your drawing toolbar and click on the word "draw" and select "ungroup" and say "yes" to the prompt to change your clipart to a Microsoft Office Drawing Object.

3. You will now see many white boxes all over your clip art image.....this is how many objects PowerPoint now sees.  When you go to your slide show menu and select "custom animation", you will see all of these objects there now and can animate them however you want.

If you REALLY want to have fun with clipart in PowerPoint, click on this lion!!

Here's a REAL find!  An add-in that lets you control the sound volume on individual slides!  It also lets you adjust the volume DURING THE SHOW.  (PPT 2k2/2k3 users don't need this, since it's now available in the program.)

Check out Volume Control.
