Colour pallets

how do I set a default schemes pallet for all my presentation, rather than having to search for my colours each time?

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

RE: colour pallets

Hi Sabrina

1) Click Design button on your Formatting toolbar, then you will see in the Task Pane: Design Templates, Colour Schemes, Animation Schemes.

2) Click on Colour Schemes, then look towards the bottom of the Task Pane and you will see Edit Colour Schemes...

3) Make the changes to the palette that you require, then click Add As Standard Scheme, then click Apply to save to current slide. You will note that the new Scheme will now display at the end of the Task pane.

4) So that your scheme will now be available for all your future presentations, save the presentation as a Template.

5) Select File menu, type a file name and change the File Type to Design Template click Save.

6) To use your default scheme at any time, just click the Design button on your Formatting toolbar, choose your template from the list and then click on Colour Schemes to choose your scheme from the list.

 

Powerpoint tip:

Display pictures inside shapes

Here is a suggestion for adding a professional touch to your presentations: displaying pictures within shapes. This can look particularly good if you use pictures within circles or stars.

To create this effect, draw a shape on your slide from the Drawing toolbar.

Click on the Fill Color button found on the Draw Toolbar usually found at the bottom of the screen; or alternatively right-click on the shape and select 'Format Autoshape'.

Select the Fill Effects option then the Picture tab. Use the 'Select picture' button to find the picture on your computer, then click Insert. Selecting the 'Lock picture aspect ratio' helps to keep the picture in proportion.
