Choosing a Slide Layout
As you work on your presentation, think about the type of layout you want. Do you want a slide with text and lots of clip art or one with text and a chart? PowerPoint offers many layout options.
To Choose a Slide Layout:
- Move your arrow pointer over the layouts or use the scroll bar in the Slide Layout Pane.
- A gray bar appears on the right of each layout.
- When you find a layout that you like, click the down-pointing arrow and choose Apply to Selected Slide.
You can also click on the slide layout to apply it. Notice that the slide you are currently working on has a dark border in the Outline Pane.
