Design Template: A template, also called a
presentation design, lets you create a presentation without worrying about
design elements. The template defines the color, background, and font of the
slides. PowerPoint has many templates, which you can preview and select in the New
Presentation dialog box.
PowerPoint also lets you
customize the templates. For instance, you can change the background color or
typeface of a template.
In
the “New” section of the “New Presentation” panel, click on the “From Design
Template” button. The following panel will then appear:
This
is a list of different design templates. They are pre-made backgrounds and
layouts that you can use to build your presentation. Use the scroll bar to see
the entire list of designs.
When
you see a design template you like, simply click on the design, and it will be
applied to your presentation. Now, every time you make a new slide, it will
retain the design template you selected. You can choose a new design template
by clicking on a different design in the “Slide Design” panel on the right.
You
can right-click on a design template to bring up even more options. You can
apply a design template to selected slides, all the slides, use the design for
all new presentations you create.
