How to Use the "Rainbow Text" Group of the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint
Please note: Some changes may have been made to the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint since the making of this video.
The “Rainbow Text” group is part of the “TS Content” tab (previously part of the “TS Design” tab, formerly called “Time Savers 1”) of the Time Savers Add-in for PowerPoint.
The tools in this part of the Time Savers Add-in make it possible for you to:
- Quickly and easily add a rainbow effect to your text all in 1 go – instead of having to color 1 letter at a time.
Rainbow Text Options:
- Text fill: the text colour will change to whichever colour sequence your select.
- Text Outline: the text will be outlined using whichever colour sequence you select.
- Text Highlight: the text will be highlighted using whichever colour sequence you select.
Colours:
- Choose a colour sequence to apply to your text.
- Your text will be coloured according to the option you have chosen – fill, outline or highlight – using the colour sequence you choose from the options below.
- You can select either the specific text you wish to colour, or a shape that contains text.
- If you select text, only the selected text will be affected.
- If you select a shape, all text in that shape will be affected.
- Note: this feature won’t work if your selected shape is in a group.
- You can choose any of the built-in colour sequences provided:
Bright rainbow
Pastel rainbow
Black and white
- You can create your own custom colour sequences and they will be stored for future use.
- Click the ‘Add’ button.
- A screen will appear for you to add your colour sequence.
- Be sure to add a NAME for your colour sequence – this will appear in the ‘Colours’ dropdown menu for you to select.
- There will be a table with 2 cells on the screen. Select each of the cells in turn and fill them with your desired colours. If you wish to create a sequence with more than 2 colours, simply add more columns to your table and fill the new cells with colours.
- Be sure to delete any extra cells if you add too many, otherwise the white fill of the cells will be included in your colour sequence.
- Once you have finished naming your colour sequence and adding your colours, click the ‘Add’ button again and it will be added to the colour sequences you can choose from in the ‘Colours’ dropdown menu.
- You can add a maximum of 20 custom colour sequences.
- You can delete any of your custom colour sequences if you no longer want them.
- Click the ‘Remove’ button.
- A screen will appear displaying all your custom colour sequences.
- In order to delete a sequence, simply delete the sequence’s NAME.
- When you have finished deleting the names of all colour sequences you no longer want, click the ‘Remove’ button again and they will be removed from the ‘Colours’ dropdown menu.
