Layout
Is there a way to create a layout that can be used as a template for others to use?
RE: layout
Hello Sian
Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.
If you are referring to being able to make a new slide layout in addition to the ones that come with PowerPoint (e.g. Title layout, Title and Text layout etc), you don't have the ability to do this in PowerPoint 2003 but it is possible in PowerPoint 2007.
If this isn't what you were asking, please explain in a little more detail and I'll respond again.
Kind regards
Amanda
RE: layout
Many thanks for your answer Amanda.
That is kind of what I meant, but more specifcally I wanted to know if I could edit the layouts that exist within powerpoint rather than create a new layout.
Many thanks

RE: layout
Hi Sian
Thanks for clarifying.
The only way I'm aware of that you can edit the existing layouts is just on individual slides when you insert them, by resizing or deleting slide placeholders to customise the layout.
Once you've done this, you could save the presentation as a template file (.pot) file if you wanted to have that particular layout available to use again, however you wouldn't be able to apply it like you can the built-in layouts.
I don't know if this helps you with what you would like to be able to achieve.
Kind regards
Amanda
