You’ll also need to set default text boxes, so that if you insert text somewhere it will be formatted correctly. There’s also an option to choose from some preexisting fonts, if any of those work with your specifications. In the Slide Master go to Fonts and Customize Fonts to set the default fonts for your presentation. You also have the option to use the default color palettes offered by PowerPoint if you don’t want to create your own. This can be your brand colors or a range of cohesive colors that will look nice when placed together on a slide.
In the Slide Master go to Colors and Customize Colors and select the range of colors you want to use throughout your slides. Using a consistent look and feel throughout all your slides will make them look much more professional and the results are worth the effort, trust me. And, if your colors and fonts are inconsistent, your presentation starts to look sloppy. You may think changing fonts or colors in your presentation is easy enough without using the Slide Master, but in reality it’s pretty much impossible to keep everything consistent.
This ensures that, for each slide you create, there will be set colors that you can choose from and that each new text box you create will use the same font. The first thing you should think about with your template is setting up your custom color palette and fonts for the presentation. Once you’ve clicked that, you’re all set! I’ll show you some easy tips below to help you create your own template. So, what’s the magic trick to create a super useful PowerPoint template? Well, it’s all located in an area called Slide Master, which you can access through the View tab.
By putting in the effort to lay out your slides up front (in many cases, less than an hour of effort is required), you save yourself tons of time and money down the line. Instead, it’s much simpler to build these features into the slides themselves, so you don’t have to start from scratch with each new slide you create. It’s far too easy to mix up a font size in a title somewhere, or to have your alignment off-center on your footer. The problem with doing these kinds of things manually on a slide-by-slide basis is that there’s no guarantee you will get everything consistent. Too many people struggle trying to make their slides look cohesive by manually going into each and every slide to change things like the fonts or backgrounds. It’s simply a case of learning how to create and use a PowerPoint template effectively. I might be a self-proclaimed PowerPoint wizard, but anyone can master the really easy ways to speed up your presentation-creation time. You don’t need to be a professional to be able to take advantage of some of the time-saving tricks PowerPoint has to offer.
