Love this!! So many great tips that even a PowerPoint veteran still is learning. Crop to 16:9 ratio will save me tonnes of hours in future! I’ll add that straight to the quick access toolbar!
Oh yay! I love introducing new features. And yes, this one is particularly handy. Thanks for the comment, David. Anything you think I missed in these tutorials? I know you're a pro, so if there's something I should cover next to help people out, let me know.
I normally make my handouts master in the template too! Plus I add a layout called “unfinished” with a different colour background so I can see it a mile away!

Thanks David! And yes, the handouts and the notes master are key. And there are a couple tricky things about the notes master that I should mention...What is the 'unfinished' layout for? Just a slide that you're still working on you mean, as you're building a presentation?
Regarding “unfinished”, I use a layout with a drastically different colour background for a few things. 1. To indicate that slide is not complete as Im authoring or 2. To denote it’s a different thing to the audience, maybe a discussion or an exercise. I find it works well!
This whole series is SO good! I've created 2 templates from it so far. Thank you!
THis is super underrated, but I just wanted to praise your sectioning each part and naming them T_T it's super helpful and I wish more people did this !!!!

Thank you!
just one question: how do you create a custom font combination? i want to use avenir next by default but can't find a way to set it that way. greetings
Hi Andrew - thanks for the question! When you go to change the fonts options (like I do around 1:38), if you scroll to the bottom, you'll see Customize Fonts. If you click on that, you get to choose which fonts you would like to use.
If you've installed the font you want on your computer correctly, then it should appear here as an option. Once you save it, you'll be able to use this font combination. Keep in mind that custom fonts can be problematic, which I explain in this other video: czcams.com/video/JvGZ7pNBnyo/video.html
Hope this helps and good luck!
Very helpful, thank you.

Had to play this at 0.75, but that helped a lot.
Hi Camille! Loved your videos. Just one question, can I set a different background to the main master slide? How can I do that? Thanks!
Hi Karen, and thanks! Yes you can. Simply right-click one of the child layouts and change its background. There are advantages/disadvantages to doing this in the Normal View versus the Slide Master View, and I go through a lot of them in this other video I made here: czcams.com/video/6t7t1d_7IiU/video.html
That should clarify but let me know if you have any further questions.
Good luck!
there's more? great video
Thanks you so much
Your welcome! Glad you enjoyed the series.
Can you help me find out how to show the next slides without having to click the next slide....the one that you see on your right side to transition you to the next slide? Thanks.
I just need help with a custom border. I'm making a certificate for Basketball camp and trying to use a border of basketballs which I've been able to do but I haven't been able to configure the text part. thanks
Awesome video, thanks for posting it!
Quick question: How can I add the toolbar below the ribbon bar (at 1:29 you add a rectangle using that bar, but I can't find a way to add it). Btw, I'm using Version 1808.
Thanks in advance!
Sharp eye! Yes... that is something we show people how to setup and install in our PowerPoint Speed Training course, but since you asked... to get a rectangle onto your QAT you need to navigate through the more options commands. File - Options - Quick Access Toolbar - All commands drop down - rectangle. There is A LOT of good stuff you can put on it and it will save you a ton of time! Check out our save 40 hours in PowerPoint mini-series to learn more: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/save-40-hours-in-powerpoint/

How to make table manually like in readymade layout as custom one?
Unfortunately, you cannot templatize tables in PowerPoint... :-(
Superb
I love this video series (it's my second time watching it). Quick question. Do you have any videos or info on how to take a company logo and make it a pattern, fade it out, and then use it as a background for my template? I don't have Photoshop so I need to figure out how to do it with the tools I have. Thanks!
Thanks Kim! The way you would do that is to take your logo and then make the color a light grey using the color options in PPT. Then, duplicate the object across your slide. Finally, select all of the logos and the copy-paste them together as an image, before placing it on the Slide Master. I don't have a tutorial specifically on this, but my video on how to make a watermark will show you a lot of the steps which are similar: czcams.com/video/6t7t1d_7IiU/video.html. Hope that helps!
@@Nutsandboltsspeedtraining Thanks!
@@kimhofmann1513 My pleasure, Kim!
Thank you so much.
Glad that helped you out. Getting your PowerPoint template right will save you a ton of time and effort in PowerPoint.
hello can use send us some photos for presentation template, or any online source for searching such item
Can you tell which powerpoint version did you use
great tutorial. I'm working on a template, and in my Master Slide I don't see the "little lines going down", where the parent slide shows that it is connected to the other slides (child slides). And maybe that is why when I switch back to Normal view, the thumbnails don't show what is going on in the Master slides... advice? Thanks so much!
Hi Holly - hm, if you're not seeing the little lines, I would assume you're not in the Slide Master View. When you click on the View tab in the Ribbon and then on Slide Master, what happens?
Love this. Any tips on getting a custom font into the Mac version of PPT?
Thanks Jeff. Sadly, I don't have any tips as this option isn't available in PPT on a Mac :-( If you want to tell Microsoft about features you want to see in PPT, you can make your voice heard here on their feedback portal, which functions a bit like a Reddit forum, where they look at the most upvoted suggestions: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/af2977de-2f1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472

Glad you enjoyed the video, if you ever need a refresher, I wrote up this video in blog post format here too: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/how-to-create-a-powerpoint-template/
Great content Camile! Quick question-in the beginning if the video you mention first creating custom fonts/colors-I've got colors down, but how do you create custom font themes? I'm using a custom font that is installed on all our company computers. Please advise! Thanks ;-)
Hi Peter and thanks for your comment and question! The fonts work the same as colors do in a theme. So simply go to Design > Variants > Fonts > Customize Fonts. Change the fonts and save them, and you're good to go. You can learn more about how to create a full custom theme in this article I wrote: nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/custom-powerpoint-theme/
Camille Holden thanks for the article link-very helpful! However, it doesn’t seem my PowerPoint (for Mac v16.37) has “customize fonts” as a drop down option under design/fonts. Any ideas?
@@pmrp12 Ah, yes unfortunately, Apple does not support this feature for PowerPoint. Two solutions: 1. Build your template on a PC and then you can have your custom fonts still work on the Mac, or 2. Follow the steps listed here to 'hack' it (I have not tried it and can't guarantee it works): geekygordo.com/2018/03/10/2018-3-9-custom-theme-fonts-office-2016-mac/
NICE
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Hey, great job on the tutorial and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with others. I have a quick question: is there a particular reason why you copied and pasted the image as a background image/pattern as opposed to simply setting it up as a background image? I would like to change the transparency of the photo and copying and pasting it directly onto the website will not allow me to adjust the transparency. By contrast, setting the photo as a background image will give me the option to set the transparency. Thanks!
Hi Claudia - and thanks for your question. There are pros and cons to inserting an image versus making it the background, but you can absolutely do it your way if it helps you set the transparency and achieve what you're looking for. The only downside is that you can adjust it once it's set as the background and a future user won't be able to access the original image. By the way, in newer versions of PowerPoint (Office 365), you can now add transparency directly to pictures you copy/paste, making things easier for all of us! Hope that helps.
"so i will close this and determine that that looks pretty good" lol
As some point you have to decide when enough is enough... otherwise you could spend forever tweaking your template :)
that that
QUESTION: Does designing slide master apply to all the future slides or can it be custom-made for a particular slide presentation? Because I would like to have 3 different themes for my slide master to cater for different audiences. Please advise.
Great question. You can make a different template (with a different theme) for each of the different presentations you create. The theme you create will only be applied to the specific template you use it for.
Where do I find the article you spoke of at 0:50?
Sorry that wasn't clear... I just updated the description to make it clearer. Below is the post i mentioned (simply scroll down the page to the second section to see the different questions I recommend answering about your template first). nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/create-powerpoint-template

How to pop up toolbars menu above the ruler?
It is super hard!
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you! I have a question- when I go in to edit master, I only have one child slide showing underneath the master, unlike yours, which has a whole bunch of defaults. If I hit "Insert slide master," I get a whole second set of new masters, but they have Calibri font (not the font pairing I chose.) I saved this file as a .potx. What have I done wrong, and how can I fix it?
Hi Sandra - sorry for the late reply. If you only have one child layout, it means the others were deleted. To add more layouts to that parent slide master, simply click on 'Insert Layout'. But I would consider starting from scratch, so that you can get all the default layouts back. And also, if you click on 'Insert Slide Master,' PowerPoint will add a whole new master to your template and it will be completely separate from the first one. I don't recommend this for 99% of situations. Happy to elaborate if you're interested. Hope this helps!
Hi guys, my download to get the template doesn't work. Can someone help me?
nice work , whats version of powerpoint you have ?
I'm using the Office 365 subscription, or PowerPoint 2019 at the time of shooting (I believe it is now PowerPoint 2020 if you have the subscription service which just continually keeps updating). That said, this template series will work in any version of PowerPoint 2007 and later.
How did you add this extra toolbar under your regular ribbon with options????
That is your Quick Access Tool bar and it's fully customizable. Check out the following CZcams video, top shortcut #25 to see how to set it up with the best PowerPoint shortcut of all time. You can then do that with any command in PowerPoint, Word or Excel. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/JuK8yR3Whjw/video.html

Where do all the themes come from? In PP Office 360 for MAC there is only the Office Theme to use.
That is a great question. Those all should come with the Mac version too. I don't have a Mac computer, but the following website has a bunch of different ones you should be able to (at the very least) download from Microsoft and use. There also must be a way to point your version of PowerPoint at these templates to get them, I'm just not 100% sure how to do that. I also have the following blog post for other places to find templates (some free, some paid). nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/best-places-for-professional-powerpoint-templates/
HI, can you explain in more detail how you created the custom fonts? You skipped that step and wondering how to have one font be headers and the other body text. Thanks!
Hi Jemma, I didn't create the custom font myself, I simply downloaded it onto my computer. You can find a bunch of different custom fonts at Font Squirrel. The one I used here is Ostrich-sans. Here is a link you can use to check it out: www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/ostrich-sans
@@Nutsandboltsspeedtraining I spent a lot of time looking into this and apparently things work differently on a PC than a Mac and I wasn't able to add any new fonts into a Mac PowerPoint!
You say that before reaching this stage you should have already set up your themes. How exactly do you do that?
Check out our article on how to create a custom PowerPoint theme, that should help you out. nutsandboltsspeedtraining.com/powerpoint-tutorials/custom-powerpoint-theme/
STEP BY STEP FROM SCRATCH !!
01:48 "Pick my custom font combination that I've "already" created here!!!!
Quick question- the fonts that I purchased are not showing up as a choice. Is there a solution? Thank you.
Hey there! First thing to try always, is to close and then reopen PPT after you've installed a new font. Or even restart your computer. If that's still not working, it may be that the font you purchased are web fonts, and not desktop fonts...or that they're restricted in their use. Take a look at the license for the fonts to see how you're allowed to use them.

What to do if I want to use different bacground or direction ov the bacground fading on my first title slide and another one on rest of the slides? Is that posible to set in my template?
Yes. On your Parent slide, you will set the direction you want for all of your slides but the title slide. Then for your title slide in the slide master (on the child slide layout), you will want to select "hide background graphics" and then change it's direction. That will allow you to have them both ways.
Great tutorial I must say, however - the very first thing we're asked to do isn't explained. It is assumed we know how to creat a custom powerpoint theme which we (I) do not :(

Hi....I am struggling that all elements are still in editable format. Can you please let me know.
You mean the design elements you put on your slide? Double-check that you are adding those elements in the Slide Master view and not in the Normal View. If you are in the slide master view, remember that the content placeholders you insert are editable in the normal view, but any rectangles, text boxes or lines you add to your slide master will not be editable in the normal view. See if that does the trick for you.
i don't have a slide zoom in my powe point what can i do ?
You mean zooming in on your slide, correct (not the new Zoom feature). If you don't have the plus and minus signs in the lower right-hand corner of your screen, try holding down the Shift key and using the spin wheel on your mouse. That is another way to zoom. Check out our other video below for more PowerPoint zoom options. czcams.com/video/_6Y8fEanVKw/video.html
