Design a Custom PowerPoint Template

If you design a good PowerPoint slide presentation, using a your agency badge or patch, you can save it as a template for future use. Fonts, graphics, images, and backgrounds can all be saved in one neat package that you can reuse over again when you create new presentations. When you make a custom template, it’s then available with the default design templates in the Slide Design task pane.

To save a presentation as a design template, open the presentation and choose File | Save As from the main menu. In the Save As dialog box, type in a new name for the template and choose Design Template (*.pot) (Presentation Template in 97) in the Save As Type field. Click Save when done. When you create a new presentation, you can select the saved template from the General tab.
