UPDATE:
These instructions will help you transition your PowerPoint presentation to the new Houston Methodist template.
Please note that any custom formatting or design elements applied to individual slides may be overwritten by the new template. After applying the new template, if you notice that your text is not aligning with the template, it most likely means that elements, such as the text, graphics and images were not created in the proper placeholders. For instance, if the text was placed in a text box, but not a text placeholder, which would contain the text “Click to add text” or Click to add title,” then the text will not align with the placeholders set up in the template. The text will also not appear in the “Outline” view. You will have to manually paste these elements into the appropriate placeholders or readjust the various elements.
Although there are a few different ways to accomplish getting your slides into the new template, here are two easy options. Remember to save your presentation after applying the new template to keep the changes.
Note: If you are using iOS (Mac), then use Command instead of the Control key.
Option 1
One of the simplest ways to apply a template to an existing document is to start with a new document.
- Download, save and open the latest PowerPoint template.
- Open your PowerPoint presentation that contains the slides you want to update.
- In the left-hand pane, you'll see a thumbnail view of all of your slides. Select the thumbnails you want to update. If you want to select them all, then select one thumbnail, then press “Ctrl + A” to select all.
- Press “Ctrl + C” to copy the slides. Note: You can also drag and drop slides from the thumbnail view from one document to the other.
- In the template document, click above or below a slide where you want the slides from your existing presentation to appear, then press “Ctrl + V” to paste your slides into the template.
- Delete any unwanted slides from the template by selecting those thumbnails, then press delete on your keyboard.
Option 2
- Download, save and open the latest PowerPoint template.
- In your existing document, select the “Design” tab and expand the “Themes” gallery. Then select “Browse for Themes.”
- Select the Houston Methodist template that you downloaded and saved.
- If you are switching from a “Standard (4:3)” size presentation to the new template, you will need to select “Widescreen (16:9)”, located under the Design tab under the “Slide Size” button.
- Delete any unwanted slides from the template by selecting those thumbnails in the left-hand pane, then press delete on your keyboard.
