Introducing the PPT template

Business PowerPoint now examines the mystery of the ppt template.

A PPT template is a “pre-made” presentation environment. When a template is applied to a presentation, the Title Master and Slide Master (text slide or secondary slide) are pre-laid-out for you to add text and other objects, but with the typeface, font colour, and size already predetermined. Each of these attributes can still be manipulated on each and every individual slide if required.

To apply a PPT template to your PowerPoint 2007 presentation, follow the following simple steps:

Open PowerPoint, click “New” and then “Installed Templates”. Select “Photo Album” (as an example).

Select a ppt template (.potx)

Select a ppt template (.potx)

Note that the presentation now opens with this preapplied template. The file that has been applied is a .potx file… a template file for PowerPoint 2007. Notice this is quite different to the .pptx file - the actual PowerPoint file you would want to save and work on. To illustrate the point, notice that this presentation has still not been saved - it’s still known to the system as Presentation2. You should save it straight away to ensure you don’t lose any data.

A PPT template and theme contains a bunch of pre-formatted elements including the colour scheme:

Theme colours

And slides being the most important. If you select “New Slide” from the menu - you will see the many different templated slides, ready for insertion into the presentation.

One of the best tips I can offer is to use the “Slide Master” page to design the style of your pages BEFORE you start designing your presentation.

This is the place to put your company logo for example, rather than placing it on every single slide. This will save oodles of filespace and will ensure it’s always in the right position on every slide.
