I'm not sure I understand the question. But I'll take it as you are using a
template and want a slide be black with no elements of the template showing.
Simply add a slide (Blank layout it you wish). Click the Background command
in the Format menu. Click Omit Background Graphics and then choose Black as
the background color.
