THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO MAKING INTERACTIVE CONTENT IN POWERPOINT Interactive content is everywhere. We navigate screens for everything from buying groceries at the supermarket to streaming movies in our living rooms. This makes sense, since studies show it’s a great tool for engagement. Of course, you could be intimidated by the idea of spending hours crafting interactive content in expensive programs. Thankfully, it’s incredibly easy to make interactive content in PowerPoint. Read on to find out how.

PLATFORM Before you can design your interactive content in PowerPoint, you must pick your platforms. This will determine the limits of your design. For instance, interactive content must be larger on tablets and smaller on mobile.

To determine which platforms you should design for, read our breakdown of every major platform below.

1 MOBILE 2 TABLET 3 DESKTOP

MOBILE DESKTOP When it comes to mobile design, don’t think small. When we say desktop, we don’t mean tablet. We Think compact. A common mistake for mobile mean a computer with a connected keyboard and design is to cram as much content onto the screen mouse. This means you won’t need to consider as possible. Instead of cramming, consider such elements as a pop-up keyboard. Desktop condensing. For instance, instead of stuffing your content is also much easier to prototype, as you screen with navigation buttons, hide each are likely designing with a desktop copy of behind a hamburger button. PowerPoint. Likewise, keep your content clipped. Consider sentences instead of paragraphs. If you have to say something more substantial, simply insert a link to another slide. This applies to all interactive content in PowerPoint.

TABLET Tablets are all about touch. While the same can be said for mobiles, tablets offer a lot more space. This increase in space enables a lot more interactivity. Because tablets offer more options, you must establish how your users will interact with them. Will they be mobile at a busy convention? Locked into a kiosk in your company’s lobby? Consider these options for interactivity and design accordingly. WHAT DO I WANT TO DESIGN?

So you’ve picked your platform. Now what? Don’t just say “I’m going to design interactive content in PowerPoint”. Be specific. Study your audience’s needs, now imagine how you can fulfil them by creating interactive content in PowerPoint.

For instance, let’s imagine you’re designing a learning module for local school-children. Because kids have short attention spans, they’ll need your content to be entertaining and engaging. In that case, you might consider creating a fun quiz.

Whatever you want to create with PowerPoint, there are fundamental rules you must follow. Before we get to those, we’ll start with the most basic element of interactive content … BUTTONS

BEGINNER BUTTON DESIGN ADVANCED BUTTON DESIGN Buttons are one of the easiest parts of creating If you’re looking to make a very specific sort of interactive content in PowerPoint. First of all, shape for your button, consider combining you must create a button that complements shapes. To achieve this, insert the two shapes your design. Unless you’d like a minimalist look, you wish to combine. Now, shift-click both this begins by creating a background shape for and go to the “Format” as above. This time your button. An easy way to achieve this is to you should see the “Merge Shapes” option on go to the “Insert” tab and insert any shape you the far left. like. By hovering over each option, you can see how Next, you can adjust the size, colour and texture your shapes will combine. of your shape by selecting it and clicking the “Format” tab. Once you have created a background for your button, you can overlay it with symbols and text. To do this, simply insert the text or symbol you wish to use. Resize it over your background, then combine them as above.

3 MAKING BUTTONS INTERACTIVE

Now that you’ve designed your button, you must If you want users to activate your button with a make it an interactive element. To do this, select click (or touch), adjust the settings under the your button and go to the “Insert” tab. Click “Mouse Click” tab. If you want users to activate “Action”, which will activate the following option your button by mousing over it, adjust the settings box: under the “Mouse Over” tab.

As well as navigation, buttons can be used to trigger animations and the appearance of other important elements. Say you want to create a hamburger button that pops out a to the rest of your content. First, create the hamburger button and each element in that menu. Now, group each element in the menu and apply a line animation from off-screen. In the animation pane, right-click that group and go to “Timing”.

In the ensuing pop-up menu, click “Triggers”. Tick the box which says “Start Effect on Click of” and select your hamburger button.

In PowerPoint, buttons are primarily used to navigate content through the “ to” option you see above. To explore the art of navigation design, read on.

NAVIGATION INTERFACES

If users can’t find their way around your content, the effort you put into creating it will be wasted. While there are many options for navigating interactive content in PowerPoint, the soul of good navigation is simplicity. Below are a few options for understandable navigation interfaces.

VERTICAL NAVIGATION MENUS 1 You should only insert a vertical navigation menu if you have the space. By placing a vertical navigation menu on the left, it will be easier for your users to find. By placing one on the right, you can save the left side of your screen for something more important.

LONG SCROLLING 2 Long scrolling designs let users scroll through your content without navigating menus. This makes them much easier to use.

To create long scrolling content, you must create one long image in PowerPoint. Insert this image into your 3 SINGLE OPTION HOME PAGE first slide. Now click “Duplicate” and This design gives users one option to crop it to your desired dimensions. interact with. That allows them to interact Under the “Transitions” tab, add a Push with your content immediately, making it transition between your current slide easier to funnel them through your and the next one. Repeat these steps experience thereafter. for every slide, and crop each to the position you would like your users to A single option home page also keeps your scroll to. design clear of clutter, allowing your content to stand out.

FULL-SCREEN NAVIGATION 4 Instead of hiding your content behind a menu, this turns your content into a menu. By using large images overlayed with text, your users can immediately explore your content. MASTERING SLIDE MASTERS

The key to creating effective interactive content in PowerPoint is consistency. By keeping your designs similar across your content, you’ll save your users the stress of learning new layouts.

Of course, consistency can be mind-numbingly boring to maintain. This is especially true for interactive content, which can contain hundreds of intricate elements. To save you the hours it would take to adjust them manually, we’re going to show you how to create a slide master.

A slide master allows you to edit multiple slides at once, saving you hours of adjusting content.

CREATING A 1 SLIDE MASTER Creating a slide master is quite simple. All you have to do is click the “View” tab and 2 select “Slide Master”. This will insert a slide above all other slides in the slide view . 1 2

2 Go to the Edit Master group and select “Insert Slide”.

3 Drag the new slide master from beneath the original slide master to above the group of slides you want to adjust.

4 Edit the new slide master to suit the style of this slide group. CUSTOM SLIDESHOWS

Custom slideshows are the cornerstone for most kinds of interactive content. By understanding how to create a custom slideshow in PowerPoint, you can make all kinds of interactive content. So what is a custom slideshow?

A custom slideshow will only display certain slides at your command. It can also hyperlink through multiple slides, allowing users to explore your content.

There are two kinds of custom slideshows: basic and hyperlinked. A basic custom slideshow establishes a separate presentation to your main presentation. This can include some of the slides from the original show. A hyperlinked custom slideshow is a quick way to navigate a number of separate presentations. BASIC CUSTOM SLIDESHOWS

By creating a basic custom slideshow, you can present different content to different audiences. For instance, if you create a presentation with five slides, you can create a custom slideshow named “Odd” that only shows slides 1, 3, and 5. Then, you can create a second custom slideshow named “Even” that shows slides 2 and 4. It’s important to remember that when you create a custom slideshows, you can still run the entire presentation in its original order. All you have to do is select the original presentation.

Slides for 1 Site 1

Slides for 2 Site 2

1 2 HYPERLINKED CUSTOM SLIDESHOWS

Hyperlinked custom shows are ideal for organising interactive content in PowerPoint. For instance, imagine you’re creating an app to educate employees on your organisation. To begin, you would create a slide with links to learn more about different departments. Each link would lead to a custom slideshow explaining each department.

1 Slide with

Custom show for 2 Department A

3 Custom show for Department B

By linking between custom slideshows, you can create all kinds of interactive content in PowerPoint.

STARTING A CUSTOM SHOW FROM INSIDE POWERPOINT

Before you can publish your interactive content, you need to test it. To do this, you must see how it runs in PowerPoint. To do this, follow these six steps:

1 In PowerPoint 2016, click the 5 Under the “Slideshow” tab, click “Custom :Slideshow” tab Slideshow” then click “Custom Shows”.

2 Now click “Set Up Slideshow”. In the “Custom Shows” list, select a show 6 and click “Show”. In the pop-up menu, click “Custom 3 Show” then select the custom slideshow that you want to test. 4 Click “OK”. MENU DESIGN

Menu design is the most fundamental component for creating interactive content in PowerPoint. Without it, your user will struggle to see all of your content. Below are 11 things to keep in mind when making menus in PowerPoint:

1 SCREENS 2 EXPECTATION

3 APPEARANCE

4 WEIGHT

5 CONTRAST

6 ORIENTATION

7 UNDERSTANDABILITY 8 SCANNABILITY

9 IMAGERY

10 SIZE

11 HIERARCHY SCREENS The kind of menu you can make will depend on the size of your screen. When designing for large screens, you should never use small menus or icons. Instead, use all available space to your advantage.

EXPECTATION Your users will expect to see your menus in certain spots. You should understand these expectations and meet them. Usually your users will expect to see menus on the top and left sides of their screen. APPEARANCE Once you’ve set the size and placement of your menu, you must make sure that the links look interactive. If your menu doesn’t look clickable, or tappable, it’s useless. Avoid making your menus too flat, and ensure they stand out from the rest of your design.

WEIGHT To make your menus stand out, you must give them weight. This means strong borders, pop-out textures, and contrasting colour. Of course, weight is less important when you place your menus in a familiar locations. In fact, weight is almost unnecessary if you keep your design clear.

To utilise the principles of design, see our article on how to make great content using universal design principles. CONTRAST ORIENTATION

When you use PowerPoint’s hyperlink text Your users should always understand where feature, you should choose colours that they are in your interactive content. If they don’t, contrast with the background. Otherwise they won’t be able to get to the good stuff. To your links will be unrecognisable. do this, design your menus with cues that indicate your user’s current location. To do this in PowerPoint, you could apply a different to each slide.

UNDERSTAND- SCANNABILITY ABILITY As well as making links easy to understand, you must make them easy to scan. This starts Make sure your users understand what will by placing menus in familiar locations. After happen when they interact with any that, ensure your descriptions are short and element. This starts by understanding what straight to the point. your users will look for, then creating category labels that feel familiar and relevant.

Never use language and imagery your users might not understand. Instead, use words and images that instantly explain what will happen when they interact with each element. IMAGERY SIZE

Of course, words aren’t the only way we Make menu links big enough to be easily communicate. If you can, include images, tapped or clicked. Links that are too small graphics, and colours that give an or too close together are a huge source of impression of each option in your menu. frustration for mobile users. They also This will make it easier for users to quickly make large-screen designs unnecessarily scan your content, as well as help difficult to use, so avoid them at all cost. international users understand each option.

PROTIP: To access classic menu icons in PowerPoint 2016, go to the “Insert” tab HIERARCHY and click “Icons”. Consider the areas your users will want to access the most. Now keep those options closest to the top of your menus. WHAT KIND OF MENUS SHOULD I MAKE?

There are two main kinds of menus: • Drop-down menus MENU • Sticky menus Let’s look at the advantages of both below: SUB 1 1 2 DROP-DOWN MENUS STICKY MENUS Drop-down menus do what they say on the tin. Sticky menus are menus which stay in one spot That is, they drop-down or pop out when your while your user explores your interactive content. user clicks a button. Drop-down menus can be They can be placed anywhere on your screen, enhanced with cascading sub-menus.

There are several advantages to sticky menus: There are several advantages to drop-down • They give users a greater sense of control, as menus: they are always found in the same spot. • They are useful when there is minimal space, • Sticky menus are extremely effective for especially on mobile. interactive content that encourages action, • Drop-down menus allow your content to take such as digital sales catalogues. centre stage • These menus are easier to create, as they do • These menus require less processing power not require complex animations

Whether you want a drop-down or sticky menu, both are easy to create in PowerPoint. To begin, MENU let’s explore the art of designing drop-down menus:

To create an effective drop-down menu in PowerPoint, follow these five steps:

Instead, insert hyperlinks to the slides you want your users to access when they click the corresponding button in your secondary sub-menu. DESIGNING STICKY MENUS IN POWERPOINT While sticky menus are simple to build, they’re deceptively difficult to design. Because of this, it’s best to sketch your sticky menu before you start building. As you sketch, make sure you consider these three things:

1 YOUR CONTENT 3 YOUR STICKY COMES FIRST MENU SHOULD BE By content, we mean all the things SIMPLE around your sticky menu. Design your content first so you can put your sticky Because you have limited space, you menu in a place which won’t obstruct it. must leave unnecessary elements out. To keep it simple, consider simple icons and drop-down menus. 2 YOUR STICKY MENU IS A FRAME FOR YOUR CONTENT

In the art world, frames can complement your artwork. The same principle applies to interactive content in PowerPoint. Once you’ve positioned your menu, make sure its design elements enhance the appearance of your content. For more insights into this, check out our article on choosing a colour scheme. TEXT-BOXES, TICK-BOXES, AND OTHER ESSENTIALS FOR INTERACTIVE FORMS

To access elements like text-boxes and 1 option buttons, click the “File” tab and scroll down to “Options”.

3 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUIZZES

It’s incredibly easy to make this kind of interactive content in PowerPoint. All it takes are questions, answers, and these simple steps:

1 START WITH A STANDOUT TITLE By content, we mean all the things around your sticky menu. Design your content first so you can put your sticky menu in a place which won’t obstruct it.

2 CREATE A QUESTION SLIDE To do this, simply create a new slide. Design this slide so the question is clear, and that you have enough space to include clickable answers. Try spicing up the slide with an image, as well as an eye- catching design. 3 ADD REPLY OPTIONS First, write out your answers. Now, insert a new slide for each answer. We are going to hyperlink each answer to a slide which will tell the user whether or not they were correct. To turn an answer into a hyperlink, highlight the answer and click “Insert” -> “Link”. Your quiz should look a little something like this:

4 DESIGNING FEEDBACK SLIDES Just as before, you should design these with complementary images and text. On top of this, you need to insert a hyperlink to the next question (or the original if they got it wrong). Create a new slide, and create a hyperlink to that new slide as you did above.

If you want something that looks a little sexier than a hyperlink, try adding an invisible action button to your slide. To do that, start with your blank feedback slide: • Now, insert a shape over the area you would like users to be able to click on. • Under the “Format” tab, set the shape to have no fill and no outline. • Now, select your invisible shape. Click the “Insert” tab, then click “Action”. • Finally, click the “Hyperlink to” option. In the drop-down, select the slide you would like users to go to when they click that part of the screen. APP PROTOTYPES

App prototypes are incredibly easy to create in PowerPoint. They also make it much easier to secure funding for your ideas without a finished product. To make your app mockups in PowerPoint, follow these 5 steps:
