Creating a company template in PowerPoint involves several steps, including setting up the master slides, choosing color schemes, and selecting appropriate fonts. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Open PowerPoint and Create a New Slide
Start PowerPoint and create a new presentation. Go to the View tab and select Slide Master, which is under the Master Views section.
- Design the Master Slide
On the Master Slide, you can add or modify elements that you want to appear on every slide such as the logo, footer, or background design. It’s a smart way to establish a consistent look and feel across your presentation.
- Set Up Layouts
Under the Master Slide, you’ll see various layout options like ‘Title Slide Layout’, ‘Title and Content Layout’, ‘Section Header Layout’, etc. Customize these according to your needs. For example, you might want a specific layout for your title slides and a different one for slides with images or bullet points.
- Choose Color Scheme and Fonts
Consistency in colors and fonts is crucial for a professional-looking presentation. Under the Slide Master tab, you can select Colors and Fonts to choose a set that aligns with your brand identity. Remember, your selection will apply to all slides in the template.
- Close Master View
Once you’re done setting up your template, you can close the Master View. You’ll now see your template applied to a new slide.
- Save as Template
Finally, to use this template for future presentations, you need to save it as a PowerPoint Template (.potx) file. Go to File > Save As > Browse. In the Save as type list, choose PowerPoint Template, and then Save.
Remember, a well-designed company template can save you a lot of time in the long run and help maintain consistency across your presentations.
