Creating your own design template in Power PointToday, I ll show you how to create your own design template that you can apply to any Power Point presentation.
First open a new project in Power Point. We ll start from scratch. Go to view, Master, and choose Slide Master. Here make all the changes you want to apply to an entire presentation and use as a template for other presentations.
If you want a Title master slide, click the Insert new Title Master button on the toolbox. I will add a background by going to Format and clicking Background. I ll go with a Fill Effect. It s simple and looks professional. Once you re done, click OK. If you chose to have a Title master slide, then click Apply to All to put the same background on your Title slide.
To work with color schemes for charts in your presentation, click Design at the top of the screen. Now in the slide design pane on the right click Color Schemes. Select the color scheme that has the background that you just created. You can choose any of these templates and be done, but we want to make something original. So go to the bottom of the pane and click on Edit Color Schemes. Here I ll just edit the Title Text color. Select it and click change color. Click Ok. To preview your new color choices, Click preview. If you like your color scheme a lot, add it as a standard scheme that will appear in your Color Scheme Task Pane.
Change the font and other font options by selecting your text and going to Format, Font. I ll change the font and I don t like the color anymore so I ll change it again.
Change the bullets or numbering by selecting the text next to it and going to Format, and Bullets and Numbering. Here you can change the type and color of the bullets.
When you re done making your master slide, go to File and choose Save As. Type the name of your template and then in the Save as type box, click Design Template. Click Save. The template is then saved to the Templates folder.
Now when you open up Power Point, your design will be in the Slide Design sidebar.
