Editor's Notes

  1. Typical slide layout. To apply a new slide go to Insert > new slide. A new slide in the template style will appear which has been set up to ensure that the background, logo, margins, heading and text appear at the correct sizes and places on every slide. The main text area has been set up to format bullets in the correct style and this is the default setting. If you require a subtitle you will need to delete the bullet point and change the colour as shown above. You might also wish to add plain paragraphs or other features. All these can be manually applied to the basic template. To update an existing presentation in this new style go to Insert > Slides from > Other presentation… You can open an existing a presentation and pull the whole document or select slides into the new style. You will then need to manually adjust some elements as required.
