Presentations with PowerPoint 2003

Selecting a Design Template
 

The default design for a slide is to have no design. But you can choose from a variety of templates for background colors and designs, fonts, and layouts. Click "Getting Started" in the Task Pane and select "Slide Design." From there, you can select from a long list of preformatted templates.
	When you select a design template, you can select to "apply to all slides" or only to selected slides.
You can also select  color schemes and animation schemes ("animation schemes" do such things as fade your title and text in, zoom it in from the side, or other exciting and/or annoying tricks. (That comment about "annoying" is something to keep in mind: if you use any of the "bells and whistles" features, use them for a purpose to enhance your content, or at least use them sparingly so they do not get in the way of the content.)
