Slide Templates

When creating a new slide using the Insert menu and selecting New Slide, the Auto Layout dialog box with standard templates (illustrated below) appears on the screen. Each template has certain restrictions:

  • A 'Title' slide template is for a title and subtitle in a pre-set format only.
  • Only a title and bullet points can be used in a 'Bullet List' template.
  • An 'Org Chart' template allows a title and a hierarchy chart.
  • A 'Text and Graph' template allows a title, a bulleted list and graph.

On a completely blank slide, any of these items can be added by using the Drawing tools toolbar to draw text boxes, insert clipart, draw objects etc. Please experiment with some alternative templates to those shown.
