I understand how to create placeholders for photos in PPT and how to change a basic placeholder to a shape that is in the shape library, but I would like to use a large brush stroke to create a photo placeholder. Does anyone have a good tutorial, or instructions on how to make this happen? Thanks
Hi, Darla -- Thanks so much for reaching out here! Apologies if I am not clear on what you are asking, but can you share a bit more on what you are looking for when you mention using a large brush stroke? And here also is some information on Inserting Text and Image Placeholders if you'd like to check it out.
For instance, see the attached brush stroke. I would like the black area to be the place holder for a photo in a template I am building in PPT. Then a user can insert whatever photo they desire into the shape of the brushstroke. I know how to insert the shape itself and then fill it with a particular photo of my choice, but I would like to create a layout in the slide master.
I see, Darla -- thanks so much for the clarification and for the image to help illustrate what you have in mind! Perhaps some of your peers who are well-versed in design will be able to offer some ideas to assist, and our Building Better Courses forum would be a great avenue to reach out for more suggestions on how to accomplish this, as well.
