Changing the Look and Feel of
Your PowerPoint Presentation
|
|
|
|
As indicated in Part 2 (Opening PowerPoint), when
you first open the PowerPoint program one of the initial options is to
select Template and choose your own background from the "Presentation
Designs" list. Whether or not you started by choosing the Template option
you can choose (or change) a background template at any time. From the
Format
menu at the top of the page select Apply Design. (Next, on a Macintosh
only, choose the Presentation Designs folder.) In the dialog box that appears
(see Macintosh illustration below; the arrangement of the items differs
in Windows), you can highlight (click) a template name to see its
style in the preview area.
To select a design, highlight it and then click the Apply button.
The selected background template and its matching fonts and colors will
replace any previously selected ones. All of your text on your slides will
remain the same, as well as your transitions and builds (see Part
6).
| WARNING: Changing the template will completely
overwrite all of your settings in your Slide Master, including anything
you inserted there. |
