How quickly can I start using PowerPoint templates?

What are PowerPoint templates?
PowerPoint templates are preformatted PowerPoint designs with background, with Font sizes and layout applied. Recommended slide transitions, Font use, as well as text animation effects are also assigned within the PowerPoint templates.

A PowerPoint template contains 3 files.
  1. The template Master file: containing the Title Master, which is the opening page or "Title Page" of your presentation. And a Slide Master, the background and layout for your presentation content.
  2. The Print Master file: is optimized for printing and audience handout purposes. It contains the Title Master, which is the opening page or "Title Page" of your presentation. As well as a print optimized Slide Master, the background and layout for your presentation content.
  3. A Readme file: Containing information about recommended Font use within the Design template.
Why do the PowerPoint template slide graphics have text written within them?
The PowerPoint template slides are graphics that represent the PowerPoint template within PowerPoint.

These templates are "pre-made" presentation shells. When you apply a PowerPoint template to your presentation, the Title Master and Slide Master (text slide or secondary slide) are already available for you to insert text. And the typeface, font colour, and size are already set. (Recommendations...that you can change).

The PowerPoint template Detail graphics illustrate how the text is presented within the PowerPoint template and is not part of the graphic design of the background images used within the PowerPoint templates but is used purely to illustrate where the content can be placed.
Will your PowerPoint templates work with PowerPoint for Macintosh and PC?
All PowerPoint templates are cross-platform and work for both Macintosh and PC Windows PowerPoint application owners.
In what resolution do the PowerPoint templates work?
All of the PowerPoint templates are optimised for 1024 x 768 resolution or higher. However, they will work in any resolution due to the flexibility of PowerPoint to resize files either down to lower screen resolutions such as 800 x 600 or higher screen resolutions such as 1600 x 1200.
In what release versions of PowerPoint can I use PowerPoint templates?
PowerPoint templates can be used in all versions - 97, 2000, 2002, XP, 2003, and Office 2007 for Windows 98, 2000, XP, and Vista. Whilst for the Macintosh - only versions 2002 and 'X' support multiple masters in templates.
Are 123PPT PowerPoint templates compatible with Office 2007?
Yes. All 123PPT products are compatible with the new Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 edition.
How do I apply a PowerPoint template to my existing PowerPoint presentation?
After downloading and uncompressing your PowerPoint template(s) into the PowerPoint templates folder on your hard disk:
Open your presentation. While your presentation is open,
  1. Choose Apply Design template from the Format menu.
  2. Navigate to the location of the PowerPoint templates and select the template you want. You'll see a thumbnail image in the navigation palette.

How do I apply a PowerPoint template to a new PowerPoint presentation?
After downloading and uncompressing your PowerPoint template(s) into the PowerPoint templates folder on your hard disk:
Create a new blank presentation in PowerPoint.,
  1. Choose Apply Design template from the Format menu.
  2. Navigate to the location of the PowerPoint templates and select the template you want. You'll see a thumbnail image in the navigation palette.
  3. Choose Apply.
How do I use the Print Master to print handouts?
The Print Master is identical to the template Master in the PowerPoint template. However, the alternative background is primarily white to reduce ink use, printing times, and increase print legibility of the type.

Use the Print Master for audience handout and distribution as follows:
  1. With your presentation open, Choose Apply Design template from the Format menu.
  2. Navigate to the location of the PowerPoint templates, or folder into which you downloaded and uncompressed your PowerPoint template, and select the Print Master of the PowerPoint template that you are using. You'll see a thumbnail image in the navigation palette.
  3. Choose Apply.
Am I free to use any PowerPoint template as often as I like?
By purchasing a PowerPoint template from 123PPT.com you purchase a royalty free PowerPoint template license for the PowerPoint template. This allows you to use the PowerPoint template in any PowerPoint or other presentation as often as you desire without the need to pay any license or additional fee.

However, you are not permitted to re-sell or use the backgrounds within the PowerPoint template to produce another PowerPoint template for any or other commercial purposes.

Further information can be found within the Copyright & License frequently asked questions listing regarding PowerPoint template Copyright.
