Thanks ‪@T-Rex0711‬ for the #ViewerQuestion about merging text and video in Microsoft PowerPoint. The trick here is to make sure you're using a manual text box for the merge instead of a text box that is from one of PowerPoint's built-in side layouts with text placeholders. Those won't work with merge shapes, so make sure to delete those placeholders first and then use a manual text box on your slide. Hope this helps and good luck!

If you're unable to find the search bar, maybe it's disabled. Here's a video that will help you enable the search bar. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ihoMvZ6alEE.html

Heya when I merge them together it shows up on demo then the video disappears?

@SpotlightImpact 6 месяцев назад

Hmmm that’s a stumper. My first thought might be that there’s an unintentional disappear animation applied to the video? Check that. Another thing might be that the video is too short - check the playback setting so you select “play until slide ends”

@Dargonixz 25 дней назад

does it work in 2010 because even if i select the text and the shape and from text box it aint workin

@SpotlightImpact 25 дней назад

My guess is that merge shapes isn’t available in 2010.

@Dargonixz 24 дня назад

@@SpotlightImpact i think it works only for shape i guess and not for shape and text so yeah and thank you for your brst trying to answer my question☺

@SpotlightImpact 24 дня назад

@@Dargonixz hmmm if it works for shapes I’d be surprised it doesn’t work on text too but who knows. A couple tips. 1. Make sure the entire border of the text box is covered by the shape you want to merge with. 2. The text box you want to merge CANNOT be a text placeholder from a template slide layout. It has to be a manual text box you insert into the slide.

If you’re on ppt for the web you won’t have it. Must be open in the desktop app.

@SpotlightImpact 6 месяцев назад

You’ll need to get a ppt license or subscribe to 365 through office.com I’m guessing.

@PennyPieCute 7 месяцев назад

When i google merge shapes nothing pops up

@SpotlightImpact 7 месяцев назад

Make sure you’re in the PowerPoint search bar, not Google. Merge shapes is a PowerPoint menu that you’ll have access to if you’re in MS 365 or PowerPoint 2019 and above for desktop. You won’t have it if you’re in online versions of PPT - www.thewindowsclub.com/merge-shapes-in-powerpoint

@danieltettehdonkor860 9 месяцев назад

why does it work on PowerPoint on Mac ?

@SpotlightImpact 9 месяцев назад

If the merge shapes tools exist on Mac it should work there too! - remember, the text box shouldn’t be a placeholder from a slide layout, you need to insert the text box from scratch. 👍🏻

@danieltettehdonkor860 8 месяцев назад

I followed every step it doesn’t work. It however work when you merge stock images and texts but not videos and text

I have a search bar but when I search "Merge Shapes" it does not pop up.

@SpotlightImpact 3 месяца назад

Another way to do it is first get the merge shapes menu by using two shapes. Insert two random square - select them both and you’ll have merge shapes enabled on the shape format menu. Right-click merge shapes to add it to your quick access toolbar - then merge shapes will always be accessible.
