How-to Guide

1. Use preset 3D rotation

Entry: Picture Tools → Effects → 3D Rotation

1. Select the picture you want to rotate.
2. Click the Picture Tools tab.
3. Click Effects.
4. Select 3D Rotation.
5. Choose a preset style such as No Rotation, Parallel, Perspective, or Oblique.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: the picture shows a new three-dimensional viewing angle.
• What you can do next: you can switch to another preset or continue with more detailed settings.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: if the picture is not selected first, the related effect entry may be unavailable.
• Visual tip: when a preset changes the angle noticeably, adjust the picture position to keep the slide balanced.

2. Customize 3D rotation parameters

Entry: Picture Tools → Effects → More Settings → Object Properties → Effects → 3D Rotation

1. Select the picture you want to edit.
2. Click Effects under Picture Tools.
3. Click More Settings to open the Object Properties side pane.
4. Under Effects, click 3D Rotation to expand the settings.
5. Adjust Preset, X Rotation, Y Rotation, Z Rotation, Perspective, and Distance from Ground as needed.
6. If needed, you can also right-click the picture and choose Format Object, or click Properties in the task pane and continue from the Effects tab.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: when you change the values in the object properties pane, the picture angle and perspective update accordingly.
• What you can do next: you can keep refining the values until the picture matches your slide design.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: if the Perspective value is too high, the picture may look overly distorted.
• Adjustment tip: for a page-turn effect, start with Y Rotation; for a top-down or bottom-up view, start with X Rotation.
