slide design

[Guest]

Is there any way for me to apply a slide design on to only one slide? After I
chose a design for my first slide, I clicked on "apply to the current
slide", but when I added slides, the design was applied to them as well. How
do I add slides without having the design attach to them?

Thank you for your help!

Hello Stephanied
If you apply the Default Design to your new slide (the same way you applied
your other Design Template) then every new slide, after that slide, should
appear in the Default Design.

Another option for you is to create Multiple Masters within your Template
Design, then you have even more control.

Does this answer your question Stephanied?

Stephanie,
It may be how you are adding the slides. If you use the return key in the
preview pane, PowerPoint will automatically use the design of the current
slide. If the current slide is the slide you set with "Apply to current
slide", the new slide will pick up the design you applied.

Ok - now, I know that sounds like a circular explanation, but did it make
any sense? If not, tell us more about how you are adding the slides....

Hi Stephanied

You can create Multiple Masters in your presentation so that you can easily
apply a different design to different slides. For example the normal design
can have a Slide Master and a Title Slide Master, in a large presentation I
create a secondary Slide Master to break up the presentation with section
titles.

To do this go to:

View > Master > Slide Master (where you can edit the Slide Masters)

To create a new Master which you can then optimize for your presentation:

Insert > New Title Master

Once you have applied all of the formatting you require click the Close
button which will take you back into the normal PowerPoint mode. Then you
can go to your different slides and apply your new Master to the slides you
want to differentiate. I suggest you use the Formatting Palette to apply
your slide because it's easy to apply the new Design Template to a single
slide (rather than your whole presentation).

Does this help you?
