Continuous Timeline Across Multiple Slides
Description
A cluttered timeline with too much content crammed into a small space can lose its visual impact and effectiveness. Learn how to easily split your timeline across multiple slides while maintaining a seamless, connected story.
Instructions
- Bring up your timeline - perhaps it contains a lot of text and would benefit from being split across multiple slides.
- Select a few of the timeline milestones.
- Move the selected milestones so that they are positioned outside the slide area.
- Right-click the slide thumbnail on the left.
- Select Duplicate Slide.
- On the duplicated slide, move the milestones you previously placed outside the slide back onto the slide.
- On the original slide, delete the milestones that you moved off the slide earlier.
- Select the timeline on the original slide.
- Extend it to the right so that it continues beyond the edge of the slide.
- On the duplicated slide, select the timeline.
- Extend it to the left so that it continues beyond the edge of the slide, allowing it to visually connect with the timeline from the original slide.
- Go to Transitions.
- Select Push.
- Then click Effect Options.
- Choose From Right.
- Adjust the milestones as needed - for example, by spacing them out evenly along the timeline.
