How to Add a Border to a Picture in Powerpoint 2013
The steps in this article are going to show you how to format a picture in a Powerpoint slide with a border. This is a formatting option in Powerpoint 2013. This is specific to this version of the picture, and will not be included if you insert the picture in another slideshow, or if you use this picture in a different program. Step 1: Open your slideshow in Powerpoint 2013. Step 2: Locate the picture to which you wish to apply a border, then click that picture once to select it. Step 3: Click the Format tab at the top of the window, under Picture Tools. Step 4: Click the Picture Border button in the Picture Styles section of the ribbon, then select your preferred styling options for the border. You can select the color of the border from the top Theme Colors section with the color swatches, and you can specify the width of the border with the Weight option. Additionally, if you want a dashed border, you can specify that option with the Dashes menu. If you decide later that you don’t need the border, you can return to that menu and select the No Outline option.
