how to tie powerpoint bullet to related image for purposes of animation? - powerpoint

I'm building a set of slides with bullets. I want to use "appearance" animations so I can step through the bullets with the space bar. On several slides, I have a screenshot image that I've positioned right after the bullet I want the image to be associated with. However, when I add appearance animations, the slide just displays all the screenshot images immediately, before any of the bullets appear. It seems like PowerPoint treats the images as "floating", and not associated with the bullets.
What can I do here?

The fact that the screenshot image is near the bullet doesn't make it part of the bullet or associated text, so it's behaving as expected.
Instead, try using a custom picture bullet for the text or using individual lines of text, each grouped with the screenshot image and each animated individually.

How to remove the borders around images inserted over a cell?

Is it possible to remove the borders around images that have been Inserted Over a Cell?
In the example pic; The left-side is how it appears while editing the sheet, with no borders as desired. The right-side is how it appears in the published sheet, with an unwanted border.
example image
I have turned Gridlines Off in the View menu.
I have tried using the Border options, which don't affect the image. The border options only affect whatever cell is also selected (and one cell 'has' to be selected - I can't just select the image on its own. See next example pic)
example image2
Notice it appears that the image which i want to remove the border from is selected, but then also notice the cell to the right is also selected. The border option only affects the cell, not the image.
Changing the BG colour so that the borders cannot be seen isn't an option because i have various images and background colours.
Also, inserting the image as a Drawing isn't an option because any gif images are then static/unanimated.
Thank you.
edit: I did spend a lot of time searching for an answer for this and noticed someone asked a similar question almost 2 years ago, which received no answers.
Seems i will have to find a totally different app to use just because of that one issue. I'm not sure why google would force borders around images and have no option to remove them. I wish i had known that before completing everything and publishing it.

How can I highlight each bullet point in Powerpoint with the full text appearing at once?

I'm trying to animate a PowerPoint slide, where I'd like the full five dot points to be present on the screen at all times, but on click, each bullet point would individually highlight.
I can get it so they appear on click and then dim after a click, but I'd like all the points to be on the screen at the start, rather than getting revealed one-by-one.
#JohnKorchok is correct - this is not programming. Use as Animation EMPHASIS -> OBJECT COLOR. Effect Options: PER PARAGRAPH. Than double click on each Animation and choose a highlight color AND the original color in the field AFTER ANIMATION.

Custom Button in Swift and MacOS

In MacOS there is a simple App called Calculator, that I would like to recreate using Swift for learning purposes. A button like the plus button on the calculator has two images associated with it, one when the button is up and one when the button is down, as seen on the images below.
As you can see, when the + button is pressed down, its image changes to a darker orange color and the text gets a dark grey color. My question is: How to implement this button behavior?
Is it possible to do it with NSButton (and if so how)? or is it easier to implement it using CALayer? Or maybe there is some other way that I have not thought of?
You should be able to use a single image and configure it in code or in your asset catalogue to be a "template image". That means the shape is taken into consideration, much like a stamp, and the stamped-out area is filled with color dynamically. That means you don't have to provide a white and dark gray/black variant. One variant will suffice, usually black to see the lines well, and the rest can be configured through.
See the SO question "How to NOT highlight the NSButton's template image when clicked?" for details about the setup: How to NOT highlight the NSButton's template image when clicked?

React Native bunch of buttons on top of background image

I have a background image and I need to add bunch of oval buttons or images on in my case the "greenish" buttons on top of the background image, that I can click in each one of them and call a function passing a parameter. Please look on the screen shot and let me know how I can position every one of the buttons on top of the image and access them with a click (onPress). I guess the only way is using flex box but I couldn't figure out the style for it.
Thanks
Just style all the green buttons on relatively to the image's boundaries with position: absolute. Percentage values for positioning should work, if your image scales properly on screen size change.

Exported shapes as image with vba in powerpoint with a white space in the button and top

I want to export certain shapes in powerpoint as images. For that I am using the following code:
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3).Export "C:\dink_template\created_files\testimg.jpg", ppShapeFormatJPG
I also tried with other image formats:
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3).Export "C:\dink_template\created_files\testimg.png", ppShapeFormatPNG
and I get this image:
Here you cannot notice because the white peace that appears in the image button (and also a bit in the top) is mixing with the page but if you make inspect element on the photo you will see it.
As you can see in this other image in powerpoint the shape fix perfectly and it is not bigger that the image:
Why is appearing this white peace in the top and in the button? How can I export the image without them?
EDIT
I know when it is happening. Because I try with other ones and sometimes they where not appearing and sometime it was. The problem is that when the text you write in the shape is so close to the border and you export it as image it export with this white space. Now the question is... how can I solve this?
One option would be to adjust the size of your shape and/or the size of the text accordingly to the total text length, before exporting it as an image, in order to make sure that your text will never be too close to the border...
Something else: have you checked the margins properties of your shape? Putting them to 0 might help a bit.
