Create the timeline
- Open PowerPoint and select in the main menu "Insert" the Option "forms". Now a window with many different graphic elements opens. For a timeline, you use the line or the arrow in the lines box.
- You have clicked on an Element, you can drag the arrow or the line with the pressed mouse key to the desired length.
- For individual markers, you do the same: "line" and click to the desired Position in the desired length of pull. With the arrow keys you can change the Position. With the mouse, you can vary the length.
- More tags you can create according to this method, or by right-clicking and Copy and Pasting the marks in the same length to duplicate.
Select the arrow
To format the timeline:
- If you click on a graphic item, you can modify under the menu "Format" in the so-called form types, the thickness, the color and the line style (for example dashed).
- In the Format menu you can also adjust the length of the elements to the Millimeter, and the text fields to the label add.
- Since each line is counted as a single Element, you have to put in an animated presentation, all of the time-beam units together.
