2. A few tips to keep in mind when using this template:
Use this as is a guide, not a manual. Play around with fonts, colors, and layouts to create a
PowerPoint that tells your story best.
We designed these templates with both Mac and PC users in mind. Not all versions
of PowerPoint are created equal. If a display looks distorted, simply adjust the slide to your liking.
(Similarly, while we encourage you to use premium fonts, they aren’t compatible with computers
that don’t already have them installed. That’s why you’ll only see Mac and PC friendly fonts here).
Add a new slide. Click ‘New Slide’ or the ‘New Slide’ dropdown arrow to choose a layout.
Add text. Click on the text box placeholders to type in your own content.
Mix and match. If you like a design element on one slide and want to include it on others, just
right hand click the object to Copy and Paste it.
Have fun! Experiment with different styles and PowerPoint tools. You can always click Undo to
go back a few steps.
