PowerPoint5 300x201 PowerPoint: Designing the Look of Your Presentation Part (5)Formatting an Object

In addition to the customization described in the preceding paragraphs, you can also change the appearance of most objects you place on PowerPoint slides. With very few exceptions, you can change any object you place on a PowerPoint slide.

To do this, right click the object you want to change and choose Format Placeholder or Format Object from the shortcut menu. PowerPoint opens a Format dialog box (the name varies depending on what you right-clicked) that looks similar to the one.

The Web tab lets you specify some text replacement for a graphic object. You use the Web tab when you are publishing a PowerPoint presentation to the Web. By specifying text replacement for an object, you allow someone who doesn’t have a Web browser capable of displaying graphics images to still be able to see your presentation’s information.
