PowerPoint - Appearance Tips

To return PowerPoint to a “blank” background after you have already saved the presentation with a design template:

• In the menu bar click on View – Master – Slide Master

• Click on any undesired objects and delete them

• Then set the background as you wish.

PowerPoint - Create a design template

1. Open an existing presentation, or use a design template to create a presentation as a basis for your new design template; if none of the templates suits your needs, or you want to create a presentation with a unique appearance, start with a blank presentation.
2. Change the template or presentation to suit your needs.
3. On the File menu, click Save As.
4. In the File name box, type a name for your design template.
5. In the Save as type box, click Design Template.

You can save your new design template in one of your own folders, or you can save it with the other design templates in the Presentation Designs folder.
