Digitizing Your PDD

Applying Design Templates

PowerPoint calls its built-in color schemes Design Templates. You can apply a Design at any point during development, but most of you will prefer to establish the Design from the outset so that you see the effects of your development. You can change your mind andapply a different design at any time.

You may find that you wish to keep the templates found in previous versions of Microsoft Office to use in addition to those found in the new version. To do so, on the Office CD where the templates are located, find the directory containing the templates, then copy the individual templates into the directory on your workstation containing the current version's templates. They will then appear in the selection list alongside the current templates.

To apply a Design , click the Apply Design Tool.

Though you can apply only a single Design to a presentation, you still can affect the appearance of individual slides within the presentation by altering the slide color scheme and the background . You can find these two options under the Format menu.
