Templates can be used in PowerPoint to construct presentations. These templates are intended to provide a consistent appearance for your slide presentations. Templates are pre-formatted presentations into which you may insert your own data. You may use the available templates or design your own.

Color schemes, slide and title masters with bespoke formatting, and stylized fonts are all included in design templates. When you apply a design template to a presentation, the new template's slide master and color scheme take the place of the previous presentation's slide master and color scheme. After you apply a design template, each slide you add will have the same personalized look regardless of the AutoLayout. We'll also look at some examples of template in PowerPoint.

How Do You Create A Template In PowerPoint?

A PowerPoint template (.potx) file can be shared with colleagues and reused again if you save a presentation as a PowerPoint file (.pptx). A slide master and a set of slide layouts must be modified to create a template.

  • Start with a blank presentation: New > Blank Presentation from the File menu.
  • Select Slide Size > Custom Slide Size from the Design tab and enter the desired page orientation and dimensions.
  • Select Slide Master from the Master Views group on the View tab.

To the left of your slides, the slide master is the largest slide image at the top of the slide thumbnail list. Underneath the slide master are associated slide layouts.

  • Click Themes and select a theme from the portfolio to add a colorful theme with special fonts and effects. To browse more themes, use the right-hand scrollbar.
