Choosing, Changing or Saving a Design Template
 

    PowerPoint provides a set of predesigned templates that use a set of co-colors and fonts to give a professional look to your presentation. 
 

 

To apply a design to your presentation, choose New from the File menu.
 

 

Click on the From Design Template link.


 

 

The slide design pane shows you a list of available templates. Select the design you want by clicking on it.



You can also make the same template look different by changing the color schemes. Click on the Color schemes link, and see your template take a new look!
 
    You can create your own design templates that can be applied to other presentations.  This gives your presentations a consistent look and style.

The following steps assume that you have a presentation saved to your computer that is formatted the way you want it.

 

  On the File menu, click New.
  In the New Presentation task pane, under New from existing presentation, click Choose presentation, select the presentation you want, and then click Create New. (This preserves your original presentation.)
  Delete any text, slides, or design elements that you don't want to be part of the new template, and apply any changes that you do want in the template.
  On the File menu, click Save As.
  In the File name box, type a name for your template.
  In the Save as type box, click Design Template.
  Click Save.
