This is a versatile way of making a grid of cells which you will then add text and symbols to. For a simpler way of making a grid, use "Quick Grid".


1. Create one cell that occupies the space that you want your final grid to take up:



  • Start with a blank slide (Home → New Slide  → Blank).
  • Insert a shape: Home → Shapes → choose a rounded rectangle for example.
  • Use the mouse to draw the shape onto the slide.
  • Right click the shape → Format Shape.
  • Adjust the fill and line.
  • Insert a text box: Home → Shapes → choose text box.
  • Insert this as above.
  • Type something in the box - for example "text" (it needs to have something in it otherwise the text box will disappear).
  • Select the text box and adjust the font size.


2. Make a grid



Now, select both of these, and choose Home → Make into grid (in the "Grids" group). Enter the number of cells across and down that you want. You should end up with something like this:



3. Symbolise


You can now change the text in each cell and symbolise them:



When you insert the first picture, you might want to resize it. Once you have done that you can select "Default size" in the Commtap Symboliser group - so that when you symbolise the other cells, the images that appear are the right size.
