Powerpoint tips: Combining shapes
Ever wish you could make your own "auto shapes" - want something different like a coloured square with a circular cutout that shows things in layers behind... Powerpoint includes this capacity but Micro$oft hides it from you. I'll show you how to activate this function and use it.

Converting photos to powerpoint with lines and shading
If you want to create drawings like the one to the right using a program you already know how to use, this tutorial may help you. Powerpoint is not ideal for this sort of drawing, but it is easier than Inkscape (free) or Adobe Illustrator (very expensive), since you already know how to drive powerpoint. No new user interface to learn, just a few tricks and tweaks to get the head around.This tutorial will take you through the key steps in generating this illustration of a newborn wallaby attached to a teat in the pouch. I will show how to generate the base by tracing the outlines from a photo, and then how to embellish this with fills and shading to get a reasonably 3-D appearance.
