Editing Outline Icons in PowerPoint

Slide Content

The slide "Editing Outline Icons in PowerPoint" explains how to modify outline icons within PowerPoint presentations. It suggests that you can change the outline color of the icon easily, which means selecting the icon and choosing a new outline color. It also presents the idea of adjusting the icon outline width by changing the shape weight, which involves altering the thickness of the icon's outline for visual effect. Contrary practices include refraining from giving outline icons a color fill that would remove the visual clarity of the outline and avoiding too thick of a line weight which will render the icon unreadable, indicating that excessive thickness can compromise the icon's visibility.
