Templates: the secret of PowerPoint

When you open PowerPoint you are staring at a blank title slide.

Your next step should be to open the template that you carefully created and then import the outline you made in Word. Then you add the title slide and starting adding graphics to the slides and text to the speaker notes.

But first you have to build your template.

Or you could use mine or just look at mine and then build yours.

What you want to do with your template is set everything the way you want it and then save it as a template. Notice where PowerPoint saves it as it may surprise you.

Then the next time you have to create a new presentation you won't be staring at a blank title slide. You will be smiling at your template. Crafted with care.
