Adding borders to your PowerPoint presentation can help highlight important information, separate different elements on a slide, or simply enhance the aesthetics of your presentation. There are several options available to add borders:
Adding Borders to Text Boxes and Shapes
1. Select the text box or shape you want to add a border to.
2. Click the ‘Format’ tab on the Ribbon.
3. In the ‘Shape Styles’ group, click on ‘Shape Outline’.
4. You can select the color, weight (thickness), and line style for your border.
Adding Borders to Images
1. Click on the image you want to add a border to.
2. Under the ‘Format’ tab, select ‘Picture Border’.
3. Choose the color, weight, and type of line for your border.
Adding Page Borders
Unfortunately, PowerPoint does not directly support page borders like Word. However, you can create a similar effect by adding a rectangle shape, resizing it to fit the slide, and then formatting it with your preferred border style.
Using Templates with Pre-Designed Borders
Another way to add borders to your PowerPoint slides is by using a template that already has them. These templates can save you time and ensure a consistent look across your entire presentation.
Remember, while borders can enhance your presentation, they should not distract from your content. Use them sparingly and consistently for a professional, polished look.
