Where Is Page Setup In Powerpoint 2016

broken image


Have you ever wanted to demonstrate a live website during a PowerPoint presentation? But you don't want to show your desktop or go out of show mode in PowerPoint. Sometimes the content or message is more useful if you can show your audience information from a website. You could always use a screen shot with a hyperlink but that is like crossing your fingers and hope it works.

I work with high-tech clients, many of whom like to demo their technology during a webinar, showing proof of concept, or during a presentation. Often that means getting out of show mode and going to another application like Chrome or Bing to log onto their website or platform. It looks awkward and unprofessional each time they had to switch back and forth. They are often tearing their hair out in frustration.

In PowerPoint 2016, you can add a web page by inserting a screen shot then adding a hyperlink. It is easy. Just follow these steps:

PowerPoint 2010 i About the Tutorial Microsoft PowerPoint is a commercial presentation application written and distributed by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

#1: Choose Insert Screenshot.

#2: Choose an existing screenshot or do a screen clipping – one of the most useful applications in Windows.

The Page Setup dialog box will expand. To repeat a column as well, use the same process shown in steps 4 and 5. To repeat a column as well, use the same process shown in steps 4 and 5. In our example, we've selected to repeat row 1 and column A. On the Page Design tab, click Size, and then click Page Setup. In the Page Setup dialog box, under Page, select the dimensions you want. To create a custom page size, enter your changes in the Width and Height boxes, and make sure to select a paper size that is larger than your finished publication page size.

#3: Resize the screenshot to the size you want

#4: Then, right-click on the picture and choose hyperlink. Add the hyperlink.

#5: Go to Slide Show – you will see the cursor change to the icon for hyperlinked item.

#6: Click the picture and you will open the website. But it will take you out of PowerPoint.

Although you can add a web page to PowerPoint, the process of doing it is not for the faint of heart! And it often doesn't work! There had to be a simpler way. Access my phone from computer.

Meet LiveWeb, a free add-in for PowerPoint that makes this painless and offers you easy-to-manage options. You can add web pages into a PowerPoint and then refresh them real time during your presentation so it is always current and up-to-date. And you stay in the PowerPoint slide show. What if you are online or your internet connection is slower than you like? Well, this program works with your local drive as well. Just specify what document, or path you will be storing the information. And it pulls it from there. And you don't have to write any code.

No matter what you're giving a presentation about, sometimes it can be useful to show your audience information from the internet. You could always create a screenshot of the web page you're demonstrating, but chances are the screenshot may be out of date by the time you give your presentation.

Here's how you can insert a live web page into a PowerPoint presentation so you can show the exact content you're talking about.

LiveWeb adds two actions to your PowerPoint 'Insert' Menu. One lets you create the URL link and then define the size and placement of the LiveWeb window on your slide. And the second one guides you through how to edit the page property, if you need to. And it is quick and easy to use – a great reason to download it.

So what does it really do? Well, once you set up the web page, it works its magic behind the scene. it captures the web browser control manually and it writes the code to update the web pages within its control during the slide show. We tested it during several webinars and it worked great!

Your slideshow now resembles a full-screen browser without toolbar controls. In fact, to use the commands for browsing, you have to right click on the browser object. You can change the properties of the web page slide anytime from the Edit Page Property button on the Live Web menu. The size of the inserted web page can be changed by dragging the corner handles of the browser object. You can use the remaining area of the slide for inserting any other PowerPoint element.

There is a downside to using LiveWeb. You cannot package this up to share unless the receiving computer also has Live Web. Otherwise, there is a black box where the web page is. I have used Camtasia or GoToWebinar to package it as a recording and that works but obviously, the web page is not live or searchable. It is still worth downloading.

1. Document Size Specifications

To set up the Bleed:

Microsoft Powerpoint does not have the ability to create a bleed, so you will have to set up a custom page size.

Click the Design tab.
Click Page Setup
In the Width: and Height: boxes, type in your document size in inches, including bleed. The page size including bleed is the size you want, plus .25'. For example: an 8.5'x11' page MUST be set up as 8.75'x11.25:
Click OK

To set up the Safety Zones:

There is no way to set a bleed or safety zone margins in Microsoft Publisher - you will be eye-balling the measurement with the on-screen ruler.

Click the View tab.
Check the Ruler box (or press Shift+Alt+F9)
The rulers will now be visible

You'll need to stay .25' away from the edges of each page with text and images that you don't want to be cut off. Every space on the ruler is .125, so .25 is two spaces on the ruler.


Note: there is no actual line or margin visible, the above is for illustration purposes

2. Color

Microsoft PowerPoint does not support CMYK, and should not be used to create colorful items or photos for print.

Microsoft PowerPoint only supports RGB imagery, which means they will look fine on the screen, but will not print with the same color.

Only use Microsoft PowerPoint for printing basic text and simple graphics where color is not a concern.

3. Resolution

Microsoft PowerPoint will output a PDF at a barely sufficient resolution for text, but will dramatically reduce the resolution of photos, do not use Microsoft PowerPoint to create a document if photo quality is a concern in your project.

PowerPoint can only output at a maximum of 220dpi, meaning that some graphics can appear pixelated on a commercial press. Only use Microsoft PowerPoint for printing basic text and simple graphics where graphical quality is not a concern.

4. Typography

Microsoft PowerPoint does not have the ability to outline type, therefore you run the risk of your fonts changing to other fonts. When a font changes, or 'defaults' the size of words and items including columns, and pagination can change. This means the results when printed might not be the same as on the screen.

Only use Microsoft PowerPoint if typography, pagination, word and line spacing are not a concern.

Tips for text:
