How to Make Text Appear on Click in PowerPoint
You can make text appear on click in PowerPoint using entrance animations. The most common entrance animations are appear, fade, wipe and fly in. During a slide show, presenters can make text appear by line, bullet point, paragraph, word or character. In this article, we will focus on using animations to make text appear on click so you will need to run a slide show and then click anywhere on the slide to make the text appear. You can also press the right arrow or spacebar to make text appear during a slide show. Animations are typically added to placeholders or text boxes in Normal View but can be applied in Slide Master View.

How to Recolor a Picture in PowerPoint
You can recolor a picture in PowerPoint in several ways. The recolor options in the Ribbon and in the Format Picture task pane allow you to recolor a picture but, depending on your version of PowerPoint, the colors available may only work with the current color theme and may also blend colors from the original picture which is problematic. An alternative is to create a shape, fill it with a color, change its transparency and overlay the shape on top of the picture. You would typically make the image grayscale first if you use this strategy.
