PPT Graphics Help?!
Aug 01, 2011
Hi, all –
I know one of the community members will be able to help me… I’ve learned a ton on the forums about working with graphics/images in PPT, and I was very proud of myself today when I “built” a box and was able to have items “falling” into it. But now I want to label the box, and I can’t figure out how to make it look right – I can’t just use a text box because of the perspective problem (the text should look like it’s getting smaller as it goes towards the back of the box, right?). I tried a couple of things but it all just looked weird. Any ideas?
I usually have a graphic artist to help me on projects but every once in a while, for one reason or another, I have to muddle through on my own – not fun. Although I guess I’m not really on my own since I’m reaching out to all of you.

Hi Sheila
Is this the effect you are trying to create? I'm not sure how you have created your box, but I created this just with a basic square, then set the depth to 100 in 3d format and used 3d rotation to set the perspective. Un-tick "Keep text flat" so that it fits in with the perspective you are creating.

Thanks! That got me close... But the box was something I created by pulling apart and altering a clipart image, so I had to improvise a little with your technique – I created a new shape and followed your directions, but set the fill to none, then set it on top of my box. Of course it’s not quite matching up… I fiddled with it a little using the rotation tools, but I can’t seem to get it… I’m attaching the slide in case you happen to have time to look at it.
Thanks much,
Sheila
I couldn't get it to look exactly like the box, but did make you a new one that you can change the colours on if you want to use it. You could possibly do more with textures etc
darn you beat me to it.
PM me if you need more help i am getting pretty good a manipulating PPT
Thanks, Blair, I appreciate it!
Zara - Thanks for the offer, I'm guessing I'll take you up on it soon, I always seem to be trying to do something in PPT I haven't done before!
