Do You Want to Create a Word Cloud Using Microsoft PowerPoint? Here’s How

 When you present your presentations using PowerPoint in front of your fellow-classmates or clients, it is essential to highlight some important terms or text that you want to stand out. Therefore, if you place them in your project just the same as other ordinary information, no one will get a notice of it.

On the other hand, creating a word cloud for the same will attract everyone’s attention because it’ll look different. Notably, Microsoft PowerPoint doesn’t offer a specific tool to do the same. However, it can still be done using a third-party method. Do you want to know how? Read along to learn more!

The add-in will get installed and you’ll be taken to the PowerPoint app. Therefore, you can use the add-in anytime you want.

3.      Locate the ‘Add-ins’ group and select the ‘My Add-ins’ option.

4.      A new ‘Office Add-ins’ window will open. Double-tap on the ‘Pro Word Cloud’ option.

5.      The ‘Pro Word Cloud’ pane will open on the right side of the presentation window. You can change the settings, such as color scheme, style, etc. Additionally, select the size of the word cloud and the number of wordsto include.

6.      Mark or unmark the checkbox for the ‘Remove common words’ option to remove or keep them, respectively.

7.      After adjusting the settings, select the text you want to include in the word cloud using your mouse.

8.      Go back to the Pro Word Cloud pane and click on the ‘Create Word Cloud’ option.
