Adding stickers directly within PowerPoint isn't a built-in feature like inserting images or shapes. The references provided describe functionality that isn't standard to PowerPoint. However, there are two effective workarounds to achieve a similar effect of adding "stickers" to your presentations:
1. Using Images of Stickers:
This is the most common and straightforward method. Think of stickers as any other image you'd add to a slide.
- Find your stickers: Search online for "free stickers PNG" (PNG format is important because it often allows for transparent backgrounds). Websites like Pixabay, Pexels, and Unsplash offer royalty-free images, some of which could be used as stickers. You can also create your own using image editing software.
- Insert the image: In PowerPoint, go to the "Insert" tab and click "Pictures." Choose "This Device..." to select the sticker image from your computer.
- Position and Resize: Once inserted, click and drag the sticker to the desired location on your slide. Use the corner handles to resize it appropriately.
- Formatting: You can further format the sticker using PowerPoint's picture formatting options (e.g., add a border, shadow, or reflection).
2. Using Icons and Shapes:
PowerPoint offers built-in icons and shapes that you can customize to create sticker-like elements.
- Insert Icons: Go to the "Insert" tab and click "Icons." Search for icons that resemble stickers or fit your presentation's theme.
- Insert Shapes: Go to the "Insert" tab and click "Shapes." Select a shape like a circle, square, or star to use as the base for your sticker.
- Customize: Change the fill color, outline color, and outline weight to customize the icon or shape. Add text inside the shape for further customization.
- Group (Optional): If you're combining multiple shapes or icons to create a complex sticker, select all the elements and press Ctrl+G (or right-click and choose "Group") to group them together, making it easier to move and resize.
In Summary:
While PowerPoint doesn't have a dedicated "sticker" feature, you can easily add images of stickers or create your own using shapes and icons. Remember to use PNG images for transparent backgrounds when inserting images.
