Welcome to Business PowerPoint - part of the Being Smarter network - making people’s lives easier and boosting business performance.

I’ve spent the last 15 years working in large and small business and have often been frustrated with the way people shy away from using technology - they put it into the ‘too difficult pile’. If you invest time in learning some of the useful bits of technology it can make your life so much easier and give you more time to do the things you actually should be doing. It can also make you look good too!

Business Powerpoint is a growing resource of PowerPoint tips to make your time spent creating presentations shorter and more productive. More and more it seems that the business tool of choice for creating almost any type of business document is PowerPoint. This site aims to help you get the most from the application - whatever version of it you are using.

The Powerpoint Convert zone shows you ten different ways of converting your .PPT and .PPTX presentations to different formats for sharing and distribution.

The PPT template zone shows you how to get the most of the .POT format - not everyone really understands how to use it properly. It then contains a number of links to free template downloads for creating that specific presentation.

The PowerPoint tips zone is a place for all sorts of top tips on how to do things quicker, smarter, better within the application. I bet there’s at least one thing you could pick up and use straight away you never knew… there’s my challenge to you!

Enjoy the site and let me know what other things you’d like to see covered.

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)

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.

New slides

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.

For links to ppt template galleries, click here.

A PowerPoint background is an individual graphics file that can be applied to new or existing Business PowerPoint presentations as the background for the Title Master, Slide Master, or selected as backgrounds for individual slides.

They are available commercially and for free from a number of sites. Check out the link for further resources.

Because a PowerPoint background is a graphic image, (different to a PPT template), they don’t contain any text formatting or layout design as a template would do, but can instead be used as a basis for building your own PPT template.

Backgrounds can be inserted in PowerPoint 2007 by first going to the slide master:

Select the slide master

SHIFT-Click the “Normal slide view” button.

Right click the background of the Master Title slide and select “Format Background”.

Slide background

There are then four types of background to choose from:

i) A texture ii) An image from a file iii) An image from the clipboard iv) A piece of clipart.

Select one of those four, choose relevant options and click “Apply to all”.

This will put this background image on every slide, irrespective of the template settings which affect text style and positioning too.
