Today I want to share with you one more “ lazy ” Tips ——「 Place holder 」. I believe some people have heard of , But none of them really work

First of all, we need to know what “ Place holder ”,

In layman's terms , When you open PPT, There will be two “ Dotted box ”, these two items. “ Dotted box ” Namely 「 Place holder 」.


At first glance , This guy and 「 The text box 」 It looks the same , In fact, the difference is quite big .

The simplest difference is ,「 The text box 」 Only text ,「 Place holder 」 He can put it “ picture ”、“ Chart ”、“ form ”、“smartart”、“ video ”


There are so many “ Icon ”, It's all 「 Place holder 」, Each of them uses a different function .


This is a PPT Bring it with you 11 It's a place holder layout .

however , Because the default here is 「 Place holder 」 format It's neither good-looking nor practical , So making PPT when , Everyone will delete the default first 「 Place holder 」, Start designing again PPT.

What can we do with placeholders ？

It's really powerful , Picture typesetting , In a second .

Don't believe it , Let's take a look at one GIF Animation , Learn a little bit about the power of this placeholder .

When you typeset pictures , Select the picture directly , Drag in PPT, It can be typeset in one second .



This is what I use a lot PPT prototype , use 「 Place holder 」 Make it 1 In seconds , Is it convenient .

How to design and make a place holder ？

「 Place holder 」 Need to be in 「 Slide master 」 Interior design , Click on 「 View 」 Under the tab 「 Slide master 」.


open 「 Slide master 」 Then you can see 「 Insert placeholder 」.


We're free to 「 Slide master 」 Insert a 「 Place holder 」, I'll insert six here 「 Picture placeholder 」.


When we close the master , In the new slide , There will be the same 「 Placeholder layout 」.


Click on these 「 Place holder 」 You can insert the image directly .


I learned how to operate , We can make our own 「 Placeholder layout 」

Examples of the actual operation of the placeholder layout

1、 It's a prototype

This is very simple , It is not different from the ordinary prototype .

First, insert multiple 16：9 Of 「 Picture placeholder 」.


According to the needs of the prototype , rotate 「 Picture placeholder 」 It's just the right angle .


So many 「 Picture placeholder 」, It's inefficient to fill pictures one by one .

Teach you a quick way , Select all the pictures you want to fill in , Drag them into PPT that will do .


So you can make a quick fill 「 Picture placeholder 」 了 .

2、 mobile phone 、 Computer prototype

When dealing with some screenshots , We will often use mobile phone 、 Computer prototype .


however , Each time you fill in a screenshot or photo into the prototype , You need to adjust the size of the screenshot repeatedly .

We can make a screen the size of a mobile phone 「 Picture placeholder 」 So you can drag the image directly into the prototype .


Production methods ：

stay 「 Slide master 」 Put a mobile phone prototype in it , And insert a screen the size of your phone 「 Rounded rectangle 」, And it's related to “ Picture placeholder ” Conduct “ Boolean operation ”


3、 The creation of brush placeholders


since 「 Picture placeholder 」 Can carry on 「 Boolean operation 」, Then we can go through 「 Boolean operation 」, Make any shape of 「 Picture placeholder 」 了 .

We can take 「 Brush 」 And 「 Picture placeholder 」 Conduct 「 Boolean operation 」, Make out 「 Brush placeholders 」.



I also made a few pages 「 Picture placeholder 」 Master , At the end of the article, there are ways to get it .

4、3D Stereo phones 、 Computer prototype

Cell phone prototype , And so on 3D Of , These are also available through 「 Picture placeholder 」 Realization .



Production methods ：

stay 「 Slide master 」 Put a three-dimensional prototype of the mobile phone in the , And insert a 「 Rounded rectangle 」

take 「 Picture placeholder 」 With this 「 Rounded rectangle 」 Conduct 「 Boolean operation 」——「 The intersection 」, The goal is to get a rounded 「 Picture placeholder 」.


For this 「 Picture placeholder 」 Make 3D rotation settings , The angle value of three-dimensional rotation needs to be tried by yourself


If 3D selection doesn't match exactly , Then we can go through 「 Edit the vertex of 」 By fine-tuning .


The disadvantage is that , The shape will deform after fine adjustment , This is in PPT There is no way to avoid .


Last , Fill in the picture .

by the way , Finally, I'll give you a welfare , I'd like to send you a template of the prototype .

We turn on PPT, Then click new slide , You can see a lot in the layout PPT Placeholder layout , You can use it with one click .
