How To Highlight Text In Microsoft PowerPoint
Вставка

- Most people are familiar with the text colour highlight tool in Microsoft Word which allows you to add a highlight colour to selected words. However, you'll notice that there is no such tool in PowerPoint.
In this video I show you a quick and simple little trick which creates the effect of colour highlighted text very easily.
Short answer: No. Put a coloured box behind the text.
Seriously, 6 min video...
Excellent video! But one more tip: To make finding and editing your 'highlight rectangle' much easier (especially once you've sent it to back and it is no longer selectable) open the Selection Pane, where you can then select and edit it at will, along with all other foreground elements on your slide. To do this:
1) Click anywhere in the text.
2) Click on the Drawing Tools - Format tab that now appears.
3) Click on Selection Pane.
Voilá! There to your right is now a window pane containing all your slide elements, which you can reorder to have some be more behind than others, etc. I can't live without this, especially on slides with many graphics and animations that you need to tweak.
Thank you very much!✨

Thank you 💕
Many thanks
Nice tip with Alt Gr. I didn't know that. I tend to use an alternative method namely using the ruler and the highlighter from the draw tab. The result is perhaps a little messy, but is very quick. The replay then alows you to animate the highlight. It's great for showing reasons for answers.
Thanks Sir. I am UA-cam Tutor, It will help me to make thumnails
I tried but wen i -- send it to back the color goes off.. It is not working in my powerpoint.

Hi mate
Very nice ad useful
How to show a word comes out of its place spinning then getting bigger then going back to its place in the text??
Hi, do you have any idea where can I find infos about; How to highlight or find in a TEXT ALL the WORDS that starts or ends ONLY with a certain type of letter? thank you p/s It can be with word, excel, CSS, PHP or HTML
bro what
nice but this method is only applicable when the file is in word format.. so what we will do when the file is in pic format
What do you mean by 'pic' format? Picture format? like a bitmap or jpg? You certainly couldn't pull out text from those files like this.
What is the key combination on keyborad you are talking about?????
+Ali Ahmad It is the Alt-Gr key on your keyboard, which is the Alt key to the right hand side of the space bar.
What is Gr??
Only Alt key dosn't work
+Ali Ahmad your keyboard should have two Alt keys, one on the left of the Space Bar, and one on the right. The Alt key on the right is the Alt-Gr button.
@@AliAhmad3810. His references to Alt Gr is the Control key (Windows) and his "Control" key is the SHIFT key.
@@AliAhmad3810.
For me, the Right Alt key was not doing the job. But the Ctrl key did the copy-pasting of the Highlight.
the alt button technique is not working on mine
thank you
great vidéo but could have showed us how in 1 minute instead of almost 7mins
what if we use copy/paste
But it doesnot work on a pdf file
This video was just looking at highlighting text in PowerPoint, not a PDF - they're different file types I'm afraid. But you can highlight text in a PDF.
PPT is so archaic.
Perhaps in a few ways it lacks what one might expect to be fairly basic features, but I'm others it's still miles ahead of many alternatives, and has a huge amount to offer - far more than most people realise it explore.
man how to remove this
wrong--- Copy HightLight text in word to powerpoint--->Keep soure formating(K)
+Wither Craft my tutorial is not wrong. Yours is an alternative. My solution does not require using a second application.
yes
Did that and - hold on to your seat - managed to change the highlight color to WHITE! I know right? how awesome is that when you have a dark background and want line perfect highlights for each row. Trouble is, it's not working when you apply it to a master :( Those limitations from MS are just BS
NO this don't work
It does work, as others have testified, but if you;re having difficulties I'll be happy to help. What's the problem?
For me, the Right Alt key was not doing the job. But the Ctrl key did the copy-pasting of the Highlight.
how to destroy productivity - open a MS application! and spend the ret of your life clicking
Cumbersome and not acceptable.....
Nonetheless, the only way to achieve it in PowerPoint.
It is a silly video, i am ashamed off seeing it
I'm sorry you didn't like it. What was the problem with the video?
