In your download there are Powerpoint Template Files (.pot). To install them, simply move those folders to: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\.pot files. In case you can't find that directory try to copy files into this one:
C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\
There %user% is your windows' login name.

Q. I don't see any charts included in the zip!
A.

The charts can't be in the zip as separated files. They are the part of pre-made template. Please open template-17.pot and you will see 17 additional slides with charts.

Note that charts are included only in $24 package of our template. So if you want to use our pre-made charts and graphs make sure to order this kind of package.

Q. Can I alter any of the backgrounds (e.g. if I don't want a dark border at the top of one of the slides where the title would be)?

All of the backgrounds are JPEG images, so you can put anything on them, like pictures, text and tables, but the picture itself can’t be altered, at least in MS PowerPoint.

Q. Would I be able to add and subtract as much material as I want or can I only write in the text boxes?
A.

Of course you can, that’s why templates are editable. You can enlarge text box or move it, or insert your pictures in it, do whatever your presentation require.

Q. The .pot file does not come with page numbering on. I have tried to change it, but footers and page numbers do not appear. What am I doing wrong?
A.

Find the detailed instruction on how to add footer/header/date to the PowerPoint template in PowerPoint 2007 below:

1. Open template and click “View” – “Slide Master” in the menu
2. Select first slide and click “Master Layout” on the toolbar
3. Tick off fields that you need
4. Then click each slide where you want footer to be shown and tick off field “Footers” on the toolbar
5. Select “Insert” in the menu, then “Header&Footer” on the toolbar, fill in the fields and click “Apply to All”.

Q. I am having a problem with one of the templates I just bought. For some reason, I am only getting 2 masters for the template.
A.

Your template itself contains 2 backgrounds, for the first slide and the common slide. Unfortunately, PowerPoint by default supports only 2 slide masters. The third slide in the template is the special printing slide, it is a file named print.jpg in your download. You can use it to create a common slide.

To set it as a background do the following:

1. Open the presentation
2. Click on the slide with the right mouse button
3. Choose "Format Background"
4. Select "Picture" tab, then "File"
5. Specify picture and click "Apply"

Q. Then I print my slides or convert them to a PDF-file a dark square appears at the bottom of the picture!
A.

There is a gradient at the bottom of the second slides. If you get this problem just try to remove it from your presentation. To remove the gradient please do the following steps:
1. Open your presentation
2. Select from main menu "View -> Master -> Slide Master"
3. Click once on the bottom of the slide to select the gradient
3. Press Delete or Del key to delete the gradient
4. Close master view and save the presentation.

Q. How do I use the print slides to print handouts?
A.

For Color Printer:
1. Select the slide(s) you want to print from your presentation.
2. Click "Format" menu and select "Background".
3. Under "Background Fill", click the down arrow, "Fill Affects", then click the "Picture" tab.
4. Click "Select Picture", find the folder with the print slide you want, and then click the file name, and click "OK".
5. To apply changes to the current slide, click "Apply". For all slides, click "Apply To All".

For B/W Printer:
The directions below start out by making a copy of your presentation. This way you will have one copy for presenting and one copy used strictly for printing.

1. Click the "File" menu and select "Save As..."
2. Create a new name for this copy of your presentation (like: my_presentation_copy.pot) and push "OK".
3. Click the "View" menu and select "Master" and then select "Slide Master".
4. Click the "Insert" menu then select "Picture" then selet "From File".
5. Select the file ending with "_3.jpg" (example: Turquoise_3.jpg) and click "OK".
6. Select the image (by clicking on it) and then click the top icon in the Drawing Toolbar (draw icon) and select "Arrange" and then select "Send To Back".
7. Now you can "Print" and "Save" this file.

You now have a copy of your presentation you can use strictly for printing on a black and white printer.


Animated Templates


Q. How do I make your animated template transparent in PowerPoint?
A.

Flash clips cannot be transparent in PowerPoint since the transparency mode for Flash is not supported in PowerPoint.

This also means that you cannot overlay flash with text.

Q. I used the template and made a beautiful presentation. All of the animation worked when I downloaded it and created my presentation. When I pulled it up to give the presentation, there was a big X everywhere where is animation. What’s wrong?
A.

A. It must be the following problem: when you save presentation PowerPoint compresses an animated GIF by default and that's why the animations are lost.

To turn compression off (but only for the current presentation):
1. Choose File and Save As
2. In the Save As dialog box click Tools
3. Choose Compress Pictures
4. On the Compress Pictures dialog box, click Options
5. On the Compression Settings dialog box that appears, remove the check next to "Automatically perform basic compression on save"
6. Optionally remove the check next to "Delete cropped areas of pictures"
7. Click OK to dismiss the Compression Settings dialog box
8. Click OK to dismiss the Compress Pictures dialog box
9. Back in the Save As dialog box, you can either go ahead and save or cancel. The compression options you just set will be preserved either way.

If you've already inserted any pictures, be sure to do this BEFORE you save your presentation. Otherwise it'll be too late. Your pictures will be compressed when you saved.


Word Templates


Q. I want to have multiple pages in my document using some of the page formats. How do I create a new page inside the Word template retaining the style and formatting of that page?
A.

Adding a page in Word template is different and more complex then in usual Word document, because it has different structure and layout. Follow the instructions below.

To add a page in Word template:
1. Put cursor aside formatting boxes at the top of the last page
2. Click Enter until you get the new page (click further if you need more then one).

To copy layout of the template page to the new one:
1. Put cursor at the top of the page you want to copy
2. Click Shift and down arrow and go to the bottom of the page
3. Click Ctrl+C to save the layout
4. Go to the new blank page and click Ctrl+V
5. Adjust the layout.


Templates vs. Backgrounds - What's the Difference?


Q. What's the difference between templates and backgrounds?
A.

Templates are "pre-made" presentation shells. When you apply a template to your presentation, the Title Master and Slide Master (text slide or secondary slide) are already available for you to insert text. The typeface and font color and size are already set. There is also a print slide available to be used as an alternate background for printing. (For how to, see this.)

Backgrounds are just the .jpg images sold separately from our template volumes. Users who purchase just the backgrounds should feel comfortable formatting and designing their presentations from scratch, including:
. Creating title and slide master pages
. Choosing proper placement and size of text
. Selecting the proper typefaces and styles for Headings, Subheads, and Body copy
. Creating their own custom color palettes, custom bullets, etc.

Q. What's the difference between POT and PPT formats?
A.

POT is a template format - "pre-made" presentation shell. You may create any presentation and save it as POT-file. After that you may apply that template to any new or exisitng presentation.

PPT is a PowerPoint presentation format. In case you'd like to save POT file as PPT you have to choose in main menu File - Save As... and choose PPT in 'file type' drop down menu.
