PowerPoint has a versatile range of uses. Here's a list of the different tasks you can complete with this presentation design software:

  • Business presentations or Pitch decks.

  • Project briefs and timelines.
  • Inductions to new employees.

These are just a few examples of the multiple possibilities this Microsoft software offers. Your imagination is the only limit!

Stay tuned as we continue with this PowerPoint 101 Guide...

PowerPoint 101: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners

In order to deeply understand this presentation design software, you need to recognize its main components. Now it's time to learn about the PowerPoint basics!

A quick note before going any further: when opening PowerPoint, some of the commands in the ribbons will look grayish and won't be highlighted when you hover the mouse over them.

This happens since some commands need to be selected in order to function. For example, if you want to change the color of a text, you first need to select it.

That being said, let's start with this Guide for PowerPoint beginners:

PowerPoint Main Window

The first aspect to learn is PowerPoint Main Window. To facilitate the explanation, we've organized its main elements with numbers from 1 to 10:

components of PowerPoint window

Based on that, the main components of PowerPoint window are the following:

1. Quick Access Toolbar: allows you to customize commands to have them at hand. You only have to select it and go to "More commands."

2. Title Bar: shows you the name of your file and other "Suggested options" like Slide Master View . These options will vary depending on the use you give to the commands.

3. File Tab: you will see the Home Menu (PowerPoint backstage) by selecting it. There, you can create a new presentation, save it, print it, export it, and many other options.

4. The Ribbon: it's where PowerPoint tabs and tools are. These tools can also be called "commands" or “features.”

5. More Button or Down Arrow: these arrows allow you to view more tools or layout options in PowerPoint.

6. Slides Pane: shows your slides in thumbnail size. By right-clicking, you can access additional options for customizing each slide. Perfect for PowerPoint beginners!

7. Slide: PowerPoint's blank canvas and the frame to be seen when presenting the file.

8. Placeholders: they are dotted boxes that will store your content.

9. Status Bar: allows you to view the slide number, grammatical errors, speaker notes, and the comments on your file.

10. Zoom: allows you to enlarge or minimize your PowerPoint workspace. The range goes from 10 to 400%.

PowerPoint Tabs

The PowerPoint tabs are the control desk of your presentation . Since PowerPoint's features are too many, they're organized in tabs.

You can come and go between tabs as you need. Once you click on a tab, it will open its ribbon, and there, you'll be able to see all the tools related to that particular category.

This PowerPoint tutorial for beginners will give you an overview of all PowerPoint tabs . Pay attention to the following list:

  • Transitions Tab
  • Animations Tab
  • Slide Show Tab
  • Recording Tab

1. Home Tab

The Home tab is the most common tab of PowerPoint. This is the tab you'll probably use the most if you're designing a presentation deck from scratch.

Home Tab PowerPoint

It allows you to add new slides and change the text characteristics : font, size, boldness, underlining, alignment, etc. If you've ever used Microsoft Word, these features will be familiar to you.

Also, you will find commands to edit the characteristics of the geometric shapes you insert. This includes: fill color, line color, sharpe effects, among others.

2. Insert Tab

The Insert tab is exactly what its name says it is. In this ribbon, you'll find all the options concerning adding a new element to your PowerPoint presentation .

Insert Tab PowerPoint

You can insert a picture, some geometric shapes, icons, WordArt graphics, among others. We can tell you that this tab is really helpful for PowerPoint beginners!

For example, if you have a lot of data in PowerPoint , you could add a chart or diagram to show your information in a more visual way. Also, you can embed videos or music into PowerPoint really easily.

  • PowerPoint tip for beginners: To be able to write text on your slides, you need a text box. So, if you're designing your presentation from scratch, remember to go first to the Insert tab and add a text box to start writing.

3. Design Tab

If you are one of those people who enjoy choosing the design of a PowerPoint presentation, this tab will be your favorite.

Design Tab PowerPoint

The Design tab offers a wide range of premade designs , allowing you to get more polished slides. Even better, if you explore its ribbon, you can adjust the color palette and change the overall style of your PowerPoint deck.

The PowerPoint interface, as this basic PowerPoint Tutorial, is really intuitive. We believe that you won't have any problem with this tab!

4. Transitions Tab

Using transitions in PowerPoint is a dynamic way to move from one slide to the next during a presentation. This feature is PowerPoint's stamp, so don ' t miss it!

Transitions Tab PowerPoint

Some PowerPoint transitions are really classic, like wiping the old slide to present the new one. Others are somewhat over the top, like the “Vortex” or the “Airplane” effect.

If you click on each kind of transition, you'll see a preview on how it would look when presenting. Really cool, right?

5. Animations Tab

In case you want to add special effects for certain elements in your slides , the Animations tab in PowerPoint will interest you.

Animations Tab PowerPoint

Like the Transitions tab, you will find various animation effects in this ribbon. It's a matter of trying and choosing the best one according to your needs!

6. Slide Show Tab

As its name says, the Slide Show tab is about presenting your slides . We really like that it gives you several options to show up your presentation!

Slide Show Tab PowerPoint

Considering that you're a PowerPoint beginner, you're not likely to use the Slide Show tab very much.

But if you're curious about this command, you must read our article: How to Make a PowerPoint Slideshow that Runs Automatically?

7. Review Tab

The Review tab is not often used by PowerPoint beginners either.

However, if your job is related to writing or if you work at an international company, this tool can be extremely useful!

Review Tab PowerPoint

With this tab, you can check the slide's spelling, translate the text in real-time, and add comments to your slides . This last function can be helpful to give feedback to a colleague.

8. View Tab

This View tab allows you to change the view of your PowerPoint slides and make handouts from them, among other things.

View Tab PowerPoint

As you can see, the majority of its commands are really specific. So you won't have any issues while designing, test and see!

In this section, our favorite command for PowerPoint beginners is Slide Master . Explore more about this tool in our guide!

9. Recording Tab

In the last versions of this design presentation software, PowerPoint added the Recording tab. As its name says, it allows you to record all your presentation slides .

Recording Tab PowerPoint

This ribbon has advanced commands, so the most common action for a PowerPoint beginner is to take a screenshot or record the screen sequentially .

10. Help Tab

Finally, there is the Help tab. If you have any problem or question concerning how to use PowerPoint, you may go here to look for a solution.

In the latest versions, Windows has added a “Show Training” option. You can click this command to practice the PowerPoint basics since it will download training templates.

Help Tab PowerPoint

As a beginner in PowerPoint, you must recognize the objective of each PowerPoint tab to be able to master the software . But, in order to conduct an outstanding presentation deck, you also need to dominate its most important features. Let's see some of them in the next section!

If you feel ready to delve deeper into PowerPoint's tools, this section is for you.

As you may know , 24Slides specializes in creating outstanding presentations for any Design Project . So, we asked one of our experts about her favorite PowerPoint features, and we want to share them all with you!

Carmen Navarrete , Graphic Designer at 24Slides, highlighted the following features that will make your presentations stand out from the crowd:

PowerPoint Feature #1: Crop to Shape

This first PowerPoint feature is simple but effective!

Let's see how to use it:

  • First, choose an image you want to cut and insert it into your workspace.
  • Once inserted, select it with the mouse.
  • Go to the "Picture Format" tab.
  • Press the arrow of the "Crop" button (right side of the screen).
  • Select "Crop to Shape."
  • Choose your favorite shape and customize your PowerPoint presentation!

This is possible thanks to the "Merge Shapes" option. Follow these steps to unleash your creativity:

  • Check the list of PowerPoint shapes (Insert tab > Shapes).
  • Choose two or three figures you want to merge (they can be the same figure).
  • Select the figures you are going to merge (see the image).
  • Once selected, go to the "Shape Format" tab.
  • Press the "Merge Shapes" option and the type of merge you want (test and choose!).

PowerPoint Feature: Merge Shapes

  • We recommend zooming in to keep or remove parts of the image with more detail.
  • Once you're done, press the "Keep Changes" button.
  • Finally, adapt the new image to your PowerPoint presentation.

Remove background in PowerPoint

The latest PowerPoint feature is a command you can use to prepare your speech before presenting to an audience.

  • Press the "Record Slide Show" button or the “From Beginning” button (depending on your PPT version).
  • A new window will open.

As you may have noticed, this software has endless PowerPoint design options for beginners. We encourage you to try and test each functionality!

However, we're clear that PowerPoint has different features, so it can be hard to know where to start. That's why understanding PowerPoint basics is crucial if you truly want to master this software!

Our PowerPoint 101 Guide continues; stay tuned to discover more great stuff about this Microsoft software. Keep reading!

A PowerPoint template is a pre-made design that you can use for your own means, and that will save you a lot of time!

Templates in PowerPoint are a great resource for designing since all the structure is already done, and you only have to update the content . We can tell you they're the perfect resource for PowerPoint beginners!

They can be incredibly specific. For example, there are templates for a SWOT analysis or a complete Marketing report. Otherwise, templates can also be very general, with several slides with a similar design.

If you struggle with the artistic part of designing presentations, downloading PowerPoint templates will be a life changer!

A PowerPoint 101 Guide wouldn't be that useful with no examples. So, if you enjoy the step-by-step guides, this section is for you.

Below, we'll show you how to make a simple PowerPoint presentation. But first, here are some tips to be more efficient in the process:

  • Be clear about what type of presentation you're going to create (is it corporate, playful, or more creative?).
  • Make a draft with the most important information you need to add and, thus, generate a good structure in your presentation .
  • Get inspired by examples on the internet , but adapt them to your needs and audience.
  • If you will create a business presentation, keep in mind your brand identity .
  • Make sure your PowerPoint works , you may need to update to the latest version or pay for the subscription.

Step 1: Make a draft to structure your presentation

As we said before, writing a draft or script of your content will be vital to start on the right foot as a PowerPoint beginner.

This advice is so important that we choose it as the first step to learning how to make a PowerPoint presentation. Remember: Planning is key!

draft to structure a presentation in PowerPoint

Regarding the process of planning, we share some good practices:

  • If your presentation will be very long , write down all subtitles and content in a Word document. This will help you organize your ideas and give a correct sequence to your narrative. In addition to avoiding redundancies in the message you want to communicate.
  • If your presentation will use many visual resources , we recommend choosing high-quality images. This will help you have a starting graphic base. Some good free image repositories are Freepick , Unsplash , and Adobe Stock .
  • If your presentation is based on data , have all your results summarized or your most relevant conclusions at hand. The idea of making a PowerPoint presentation is to show your information in the simplest way possible for your audience.

Step 2: Create a new document in PowerPoint

Once you check that all the functions are working fine with the software, please open it and go to the File tab. If you've ever used Word or Excel, you'll probably find this Home Menu familiar.

In short, this is the main page of PowerPoint, where you can create a new presentation or open an older one. Let's see:

how to create a new document in PPT

In order to follow this part of our PowerPoint Tutorial correctly, take into consideration the following points:

  • On the lower side of the screen, you'll find your recently opened PowerPoint files. This option is great for saving some time.
  • If you don't find the presentation you're looking for, click on the “Open” option at the left bar and find older files.
  • Don't forget to save your presentation with a relatable name so you won't lose sight of it!

Step 3: Choose the perfect design for your presentation

With your information ready in a draft, it's time to choose the design of your PowerPoint slide deck. You must imagine that the available design options are endless!

For practical reasons, you have three options regarding the design:

  • Start a design from scratch (very difficult for a PowerPoint beginner).
  • Choose an established PowerPoint design or layout.
  • Download a PowerPoint template and modify some details.

Don't worry if you don't know how to continue! In this PowerPoint 101 class, we're going to explain step by step the second option:

How do you set a default design in PowerPoint?

  • First, go to the Design tab.
  • Open the list of options by clicking on the third arrow.
  • Choose the design you like the most for your PowerPoint presentation.

How do you set a default design in PowerPoint

  • Choose the one that best suits your content.

Step 5: Add transitions or animations to your presentation

The stamp of PowerPoint is its transitions and animations! Naturally, our PowerPoint 101 has considered these essential commands.

If you want to add them to your presentation and make your speech more fluid, follow these steps:

  • Go to the tabs section of PowerPoint.
  • Select "Transitions" or "Animations" and try your favorite effects.
  • Remember that if you select Transitions, these will modify the entire slide, while Animations can be added to each element individually.

When choosing one Animation, you can eliminate it if you aren't 100% convinced. You only need to:

  • Select the Animation number that appears on the corner.
  • Press the "Delete" or "Backspace" button on your keyboard.
  • Choose another Animation in PowerPoint if you want!

How to add transitions or animations to PPT

This “PowerPoint for dummies” is full of tips and tricks! So here is one more: Don't overuse transitions or animations in PowerPoint ; they can make your presentation slower and unprofessional . Use this tool in a subtle way!

Step 6: Refine the final details

As always, every final product must be reviewed. Especially if you're learning the PowerPoint fundamentals with us.

We recommend reviewing each slide of your PowerPoint presentation one final time. In this process, you will be able to:

  • Add icons if your presentation requires it.
  • Change any image or illustration if they don't convince you.
  • Change transitions or animations.
  • Customize your presentation's color palette .
  • Proofread your slides' text or add more information.
  • Add speaker notes to your presentation.

  • Go to the bottom right of the software.
  • Select the "Slide Show" button (see image).

How to make a powerpoint presentation using microsoft word 2010.

Microsoft Word 2010 isn’t normally used to make PowerPoint presentations. It’s a word processing program. But, if you only have Microsoft Word 2010 and need to make a PowerPoint presentation, there are ways around it.

One way is to make slides using Word’s page layout features, and then save them as images. JPEG or PNG is a good file format for this.

Next, open PowerPoint and make a blank presentation. Put the saved images from Word into it as slides. You can adjust the layout and design of the slides in PowerPoint.

Alternatively, you can use Word’s Outline View feature to create your PowerPoint presentation. In Outline View, structure your content into bullet points which will become slides when imported into PowerPoint.

To get into Outline View in Word 2010, go to the “View” tab and select “Outline” in the “Document Views” section. Then, organize your text using bullet points and headings.

Save your outline as a .rtf file. Open PowerPoint and choose “Open” from the File menu. Select your .rtf file and follow the prompts to import the outline as slides.

Pro Tip: Although Microsoft Word 2010 wasn’t made to do this, these workarounds can help you when PowerPoint isn’t available. Remember to adjust the formatting and design within PowerPoint for a professional presentation.

Overview of Microsoft Word 2010 features

Microsoft Word 2010 is a powerhouse of amazing features that make it ideal for crafting presentations. Here’s a glimpse of its top functions.

  • Limitless customization: Word 2010 allows users to customize their slides with a wide range of formatting choices. From font type and color to bullet points and alignment, you can create slides that grab attention.
  • SmartArt graphics: It offers an excellent SmartArt graphics option. This lets you insert professional diagrams, charts, and images into your presentation easily, so you can present complex info in a visually-pleasing way.
  • Enhanced collaboration: It has co-authoring capability, so multiple people can work on a presentation at the same time. This makes team projects much simpler and efficient.
  • Seamless integration with other Office apps: You can import/export content from programs like Excel or Access. This simplifies incorporating data into slide decks.

Also, you can add audio/video elements, apply transition effects between slides, and even save your presentation as a video. Unlock the potential of Microsoft Word 2010 – explore its features and create presentations that leave a mark.

Opening Microsoft Word 2010 and starting a new document

  • Launch Microsoft Word 2010 by clicking its icon.
  • Once open, find the “File” tab in the top-left corner.
  • Select “New” from the drop-down menu to create a new document.
  • A gallery will appear with templates and document types.
  • Scroll through or use the search bar to find one for your PowerPoint .
  • Or, select “Blank Document” from the gallery.
  • Click “Create” to start working on your PowerPoint.

It’s worth mentioning that templates offer pre-designed layouts and themes for presentations. This can save time and effort. Align the template to the theme or purpose of your presentation to maintain consistency. For example, if giving a sales pitch, choose a template that looks professional and has eye-catching graphics.

By utilizing templates, you’ll get a visually appealing presentation while streamlining your workflow. Customize them to make them unique and engaging for your audience.

Choosing a design template for the PowerPoint presentation

When making a PowerPoint using Word 2010, it’s essential to pick a design template that will showcase your content well. Here are some key points for choosing one:

  • Visual Appeal: Pick a template with colors, fonts and layouts that fit your content.
  • Content Organization: Make sure the template has sections for titles, bullet points, images and charts.
  • Customization Options: Check the template can be modified – colors, fonts, backgrounds etc – to create a unique presentation.
  • Consistency: Get a template that keeps the same font styles, sizes and colors for headings and text, for readability.

Take a look at various design templates before settling on one. This’ll give you an idea of how each looks with your content. Selecting a great design template will give you an engaging PowerPoint.

Choose a template that boosts visual appeal whilst keeping consistency across slides. This will create an awesome presentation experience for your viewers. Start exploring design templates now to make your PowerPoint stand out!

Adding and formatting text in slides

  • To add a text box to your slide, click “Insert” in the ribbon.
  • Select “Text Box” from the drop-down menu.
  • Drag and make it the size you want.
  • Type in your content.
  • Format the font, size, and color using the “Home” tab.
  • To enhance the text, use bullet points, numbered lists, or different styles like bold or italic . These options are in the “Paragraph” section of the “Home” tab.
  • Don’t use too many styles as it can make the slides look cluttered.
  • For a professional and cohesive look, use a consistent style throughout the presentation.
  • According to Microsoft Office Support , PowerPoint 2010 offers many options for adding and formatting text in slides.

Inserting images, graphs, and other media

Select visuals that are relevant to your content. Choose images that look good and support your message. For data, use graphs or charts. To insert an image or media file, go to the “Insert” tab in Microsoft Word 2010. Pick pictures, shapes, charts, and SmartArt graphics. Position images and media files in a way that looks nice and supports your message. Add videos or audio clips for a dynamic presentation. Research shows that multimedia content makes presentations more memorable. Follow these guidelines to create a captivating PowerPoint presentation.

Applying transitions and animations to slides

Select the slide you want to add transitions or animations to. Head to the “Transitions” tab in the PowerPoint ribbon, and choose from the “Transition to This Slide” group. Hover over each transition to preview it, then click to apply.

To animate individual elements, select the element first (e.g. text box, image). Then, go to the “Animations” tab in the PowerPoint ribbon. Explore the “Animation” group for different effects, and click one to apply. Customize using “Effect Options”.

Keep it simple! Excessive effects can distract from your message. Use entrance and exit animation sparingly for better impact. To maintain consistency, use similar transition styles and timings across all slides. This will create a more cohesive and polished look for your presentation.

Adding speaker notes and timings

When crafting a PowerPoint presentation in Microsoft Word 2010, think about speaker notes and timings . These tools help the presenter give their message clearly.

  • Speaker Notes : For extra info or reminders, add speaker notes. These only show up for the presenter, not the audience.
  • Timing Slides : Also use timing slides to control the duration of each slide. That way, the presentation is smooth and timed well.
  • Adding Speaker Notes : Go to “View,” click “Notes Page,” and start typing in the space provided.
  • Setting Timings : Go to the “Slide Show” tab. Click “Rehearse Timings,” and follow the instructions.

To take your presentation further, personalize speaker notes with text styles or pics. Practice with timing to make sure you speak at the right pace.

For example, one student used speaker notes and timings to avoid embarrassment at a crucial presentation. With rehearsed slides and prepared notes, they managed to get through their talk without missing important points or rushing.

Previewing and running the PowerPoint presentation

Preview your PowerPoint to make sure everything is running smoothly for your audience. Click the “Slideshow” tab and select either “From Beginning” or “From Current Slide”. To preview individual slides, click on the “Slide Show” button. Utilize the arrows and spacebar to move forward and press “B” to temporarily black out the screen. End the show by pressing “Esc” or right-clicking and selecting “End Show”.

If you want to practice without an audience, go to the “Set Up Slide Show” option under the Slideshow tab and choose one of three options.

Also, check for any hidden slides that may contain extra content. Lastly, have a backup copy saved on external storage in case of technical difficulties.

Saving and sharing the PowerPoint presentation

Saving and sharing a PowerPoint presentation is a must for collaboration and distribution. It allows you to keep your work and easily share it with others. Here’s a simple guide on how to save and share your PowerPoint presentation using Microsoft Word 2010.

  • Click on ‘File’.
  • Choose ‘Save As’ from the dropdown menu.
  • Select the location you want to save your file.
  • Type a name for your presentation in the ‘File Name’ field.
  • Click ‘Save’.
  • Open your saved presentation in Microsoft Word 2010.
  • Click ‘File’.
  • Select ‘Share’ from the left-hand menu.
  • Pick ‘Email’.
  • Put in the recipient’s email address, subject and message (if needed).
  • Click ‘Send’.
  • Choose ‘Save & Send’ from the left-hand menu.
  • Pick an option like ‘Save to SkyDrive’.
  • Log in with your Microsoft account or create one if you don’t have one. (SkyDrive is now called OneDrive.)
  • Follow the instructions to upload and share your file.

Plus, you can also think of saving and sharing your PowerPoint presentations through other file-sharing platforms such as Google Drive or Dropbox. These platforms provide convenient ways to store, access and collaborate on files online.

Fun Fact: Survey says, SlideShare has an average of 60 million unique visitors visiting their platform every month. This makes it one of the biggest professional content sharing communities out there.

  • Creating a PowerPoint with Microsoft Word 2010 may seem strange, but it’s possible! Follow these steps to make an attractive and interactive presentation.
  • Go to the “ Page Layout ” tab and select “ Slide Orientation “. Customize the slide size and orientation.
  • In the “ Insert ” tab you’ll find ways to add images, videos and audio.
  • Use the “ Home ” tab to add formatting styles and shapes or SmartArt graphics.

Our MS Word tutorial includes all topics of MS Word such as save the document, correct error, word count, font size, font style, apply a style, customize a style, page size, page margin, insert header and footer and more.

Microsoft Word is word processing software. It is developed by Microsoft and is part of Microsoft Office Suite. It enables you to create, edit and save professional documents like letters and reports.

Microsoft word was released in 1983 as Multi-Tool Word. Its first version was based on the framework of Bravo which was world's first graphical writing program.

Microsoft renamed Multi Tool Word to Microsoft Word, and then in October 1983, Microsoft released its first version for the IBM PC.

In 1985, Microsoft ported it to the Macintosh which was different from its DOS-based counterpart, i.e. Macintosh offered various major interface changes.

In 1989, Microsoft released a new version of Word for its Windows operating systems. It was the Microsoft Word who introduced the concept of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), i.e. it allowed to create and display bold and italics text.

In 2014, Microsoft developed the source code for Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1a.

Before learning MS Word, you must have the basic knowledge of Computer Fundamental.

  • Add the US Flag into Word, Excel or PowerPoint

Add the US National flag “ Old Glory ” “ The red, white and blue ” into Office documents, Word, Excel or PowerPoint, then use some Office picture tools to enhance the image.

Get the US Flag image

Insert us flag to word, powerpoint or excel, us flag colors, flag etiquette.

The same help can be used for any other national flag, just look for a different source or our articles about using many national flags in Microsoft Office .

There are many, many copies of the US flag available. We’ve opted for the Wikipedia site because it has an SVG scalable version (preferred) and PNG versions for older MS Office and other programs.

SVG graphics are supported by Office 365 and Office 2019. They maintain high quality regardless of resizing.

Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_United_States.svg .  Below the image are a choice of images to download – right-click and choose ‘Save link as…’ (or similar depending on browser).

ms word tutorial powerpoint presentation

For Microsoft 365, Office 2021/2019 choose ‘Original file’ which is the SVG version.

Otherwise choose one of the ‘PNG preview’ options. Select a resolution larger than what you’ll need in your document.

An alternative source is the Office image search at Insert | Online pictures.  It gives you many variations to choose from though not necessarily the current version of the flag. The first image (top left) is from Wikipedia but it’s not the preferred SVG graphic.

ms word tutorial powerpoint presentation

Click the funnel icon to filter the search.

Once the flag image is saved to your computer, it’s the usual process to insert into a document.  Go to Insert | Pictures, choose the image you just downloaded.

ms word tutorial powerpoint presentation

In Office, you can resize and position the image just like any other.

The specific colors in the flag are useful to know when designing a document, worksheet or slide.  It helps choose matching or contrasting colors

There’s a US Federal Specification for the flag colors but they are for cloth. Converting those colors to screen display isn’t exact and there are different values given by various sources, even within the US government, see Wikipedia .

Red: 197, 14, 61     #B31942  (PMS 193C)

Blue:  4,30, 66    #0A3161 (PMS 282C)

White: 255,255,255   #FFFFFF

(Using the US State Department style guide with the Pantone PMS codes , as quoted on Wikipedia)

Use the # Hex color code in modern Office.

The United States Flag Code has the rules for the use and display of the US national flag.  The penalties are not enforced and some of the code is widely ignored.

Most of the rules apply to physical flags but these two are relevant to computer documents:

 “ The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard.”:

This rule might be the US law that’s most commonly broken! Look in any souvenir shop.

“ The flag should never be upside down. According to the United States Flag Code, an American flag upside down means a sign of distress or great danger. “

It’s easy (too easy) to accidently ‘flip’ an image in Office when resizing from the edge handles.

Flag Effects

Once you have the image in Office, all the usual Office Graphic or Picture Format options are available.

Some of the Graphics Effects like Shadow, Reflection and Bevel add a little visual interest without distorting the flag to a level that might offend.

For a nice little shadow effect, try Graphics Effects | Shadow | Outer which adds a little ‘shadow’ to the right and bottom of the image.

Reflection is another way to add a little effect to an image.

Bevel is another choice for a slight 3D effect

Beyond these choices there are many more available, especially if you’re using an SVG. Graphics Fill or Graphics Outline can change the colors of an image.
