PPT2016 How to customize your personalized layout

In General, when we start PowerPoint and create a blank presentation, these layouts are customizable.

Switch to the View tab, click Slide Master on the toolbar to enter master view, and you can see that all the layouts on the Layout menu above appear on the left.

The first slide, which controls the color, font, background, and so on of the entire layout template, will be applied to all slides on the first slide. Changes made on other slides are only valid on slides that have the layout applied to it.

In addition to being modified in an existing layout, we can create a new layout of our own. On the Slide Master tab, click the Insert Layout button on the toolbar to add a new layout to the current slide.

You can remove the existing section by default. Then click Insert Placeholder on the toolbar and select the layout elements you want to insert from the Drop-down menu, such as content, text, pictures, charts, and more.

In addition to square placeholders, you can add placeholders for irregular shapes. Tap Insert Placeholder, select SmartArt (the same applies to other layout elements), and then draw a SmartArt graphic on the slide.

Select the SmartArt graphic, switch to the Drawing tools-Format tab, and click the toolbar edit shape → change shape to select an interesting irregular graphic for this SmartArt.

This way, a custom three-column slide layout with irregular layouts is done, which is not in the default layout.

You can apply a custom layout by clicking "Close Master View" to return to normal view.

The above is a layout customization. For the template, there is a lot of content to add, the most common is the background image. The same way you go to the slide master interface, there are three ways to import a background picture.

One way to do this is to switch to the Insert tab, and then click Picture to select the prepared background image to insert. Another option is to select the picture in other software and press CTRL + C to copy it, and then return to PowerPoint and press CTRL + V to paste it. To keep the background image from obscuring other elements, you can right-click the imported picture and select "Put on Bottom".

The third way is to right-click in the margins of the slide, select Format background, and then in the Open pane on the right, fill the background with colors, gradients, and patterns. You can also click on the "Insert Picture from" below the "File" button to import the background image, unlike the previous one, it will automatically set the bottom and covered with slides.

Another PPT is the most common element, is the logo, it is generally to achieve the purpose of publicity. The operation of the introduction of the logo, essentially similar to the setting of the background picture, it is different, the majority of the logo picture is smaller, need to arrange a good position, both beautiful, and can not affect the display of other content, generally placed in four corner position. After you import the logo into the master and set it up, it will automatically appear in the same position on each slide.
