Design Template


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.
