This page doesn’t have a subhead but it does have a long headline

• This is an example of a bullet point list

• Bullet points can run over one or more lines, but if they get too long perhaps you should consider turning them into normal paragraphs

• Try to limit the amount of bullets to five or six a page

• Don’t write all of what the speaker has to say – use them as prompts or a summary of what is to be said

Inserting new pages

To access different page layouts, go to the ‘Insert’ menu and pick ‘new slide’. Then go to the ‘Format’ menu and choose ‘ ‘Slide layout’, then pick from the options available.

Alternatively, go to ‘Slide sorter’ under the ‘View’ menu, select a slide that you have already made – which uses the layout that you need – then click on it and select ‘Copy’ from the ‘Edit’ menu, move your cursor to the correct place in your presentation and select ‘Paste’.

Headers and footers

If you want to add a date and time or the presentation title (known as a ‘footer’) to the bottom of each slide – choose ‘Header and Footer’ from the ‘View’ menu and insert the relevant information into the appropriate dialogue box. It should then appear automatically on all the pages you specify.

This template is set up so that page numbers, dates, times and footers will not appear on the title page. Neither will they appear on section title pages.
