Although PowerPoint includes several powerful tools for cleaning up a design, like alignment functions, guides, ruler, grid lines, and a format painter, among others, any kind of manual tools can be cumbersome and time-consuming when a formatting change needs to be made to several slides at once. This is where our À la carte Bulk PowerPoint Modification service can be useful.
I'll expand the above statement to say imagine starting an assignment by having to clean up the previous designer's formatting on 80 slides or so. In the following example, we only need to left-align all of the bullet points in the presentation, to take up the full vertical space, to be vertically distributed, and to assure that the total width of each bullet point on every slide fits uniformly within the safe area of allocated space.
Although that task isn't technically complicated, it would take a human several hours of tedious hands-on work to complete, whereas using our Bulk PowerPoint Modification service, you can get the same work done in about half a human hour, for any three qualifying mass modification types on any size of presentation. What this means to you is that the larger the presentation, the more cost-effective your task will be.
In the following examples, you can see a small sample of the stark differences made by bulk modification. Of course, the examples are exaggerated, but we have seen stranger examples in practical experience.
In this case, it appears that the original designers were attempting to make the points stand out from one another. On the second slide, it also appears they must have originally been using a smaller font than currently selected because the new text trails off into the image area.
After the modification, notice that the bullet points have been globally and uniformly aligned for all slides on the entire presentation, that the full use of vertical space has been utilized for the text area, and that all text extents have also been consistently constrained to fit evenly within the text area.
Arranging the subject slides to compare them orthogonally makes it easy to verify that a uniform global alignment has been carried out on the entire presentation.
This important inter-slide layout enforcement helps the viewer's eye to remain focused on an exact point with minimal distraction as slide transition takes place.
