It’s possible that your presentation’s slides will already look the way you want them after you create your outline and add any objects. When you create a new presentation using PowerPoint, you base your presentation on an existing design template.
Which may give you just the look you want. When you want to change the look of your presentation, however, you can do so in a variety of ways, as briefly discussed in the paragraphs that follow.
Using a Design Template
PowerPoint supplies design templates that provide a color scheme that is used for all the presentation’s slides: the title master slide, which shows how your title slide looks; a slide master slide, which shows how the non-title slides in your presentation look; and a set of auto layouts. An auto layout is just a slide that includes one or more object placeholders.
You can choose a design template in two ways. First you can select a design template before you begin creating your presentation. When you start PowerPoint, the first dialog box lets you indicate whether you want to create a new presentation using the AutoContent Wizard, a design template, or a blank presentation.
