Some of my ppt 'battle-maps' were shown in articles in the now defunct (after only 5 issue) Wargamer's Notes Quarterly.

I had heard of it, but never used it. <br /><br />Picking up the basics was not too difficult, because there are a lot of YouTube tutorials. But nothing about using directional arrows and special effects. So I was hoping that someone else might be doing something similar and could point me in the river direction to get online help.<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-25200351885701095912018-08-27T19:07:28.407+02:002018-08-27T19:07:28.407+02:00Hi again Paul,

I take the pictures as normal, then go to ppt, type in a title and then'insert' the picture to fill the whole screen. Once this is done it is easy to annotate the picture using 'insert text box' and the 'shapes' tool. Once finished save the whole thing off as a JPEG and then insert into your blog as you would a picture.<br /><br />Here is an examplefrom my blog:<br /><br />https://bobthepainter.blogspot.com/ <br /><br />BobBob The Old Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799920263660656268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-28960844018933446812018-08-27T18:25:06.246+02:002018-08-27T18:25:06.246+02:00Hi Bob
Thanks for your comments.
I am currently ...Hi Bob<br /><br />Thanks for your comments.<br /><br />I am currently trying to learn PowerPoint for our walking in Spain blog. I want to be able to do a slide show of each walk on that blog.<br /><br />This has prompted me to consider whether I could use PowerPoint to improve my battle reports. It is all at an early stage, and is proving quite a steep learning curve. But if I can master PowerPoint it might improve my battle reports considerably.<br /><br />Do keep following he blog to see how it all works out<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-37608111325680552702018-08-27T16:39:54.473+02:002018-08-27T16:39:54.473+02:00I have been a silent follower of your blog for a w...I have been a silent follower of your blog for a while and I really enjoy the accounts of your games. I particularly like your approach to organising your armies, something that I have decided to attempt with mine, albeit on a smaller scale. <br /><br />This battle looks very interesting. Like you, I like to have the names of my commanders included on the order of battle to give the right feel.<br /><br />BobBob The Old Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799920263660656268noreply@blogger.com
