‘IRI Companion Deck’ and ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ PowerPoint Templates
About the ‘IRI Companion Deck’ and the ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ templates
These templates contain two full libraries of IRI slides, including charts, to be used by all IRI employees when presenting internally or externally using PowerPoint. In the ‘IRI Companion Deck’ you will find slides for management and general information content and a selection of our most popular graphics. In the ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ you will find a more comprehensive library of charts to be used when presenting analysis and data to clients.
How should I use this PowerPoint deck?The key difference between the new companion deck and the former one is the addition of a master slides library that contains all the key slides that we need to use for consistency. The master slides have been designed in accordance with the new IRI corporate graphic guidelines.
So when you use this IRI PowerPoint deck, if you want to add slides, you can:
A. either copy and paste the slides from the normal presentation – what we have done up until now, but you have to be careful to not alter the style.
B. or please proceed as below:
Click ‘new slide’ on the top menu bar, then select an empty slide (the 5th one for normal or the 6th one for a slide with diagrams and graphs in ‘IRI Directly Usable Slides’) in the master templates library.
Then, go on this new slide and click on ‘Display’ on the top menu bar.
Select ‘Master Slides’ (5th option), select the slide template you want to add from the part 2.
Select and copy all the content (not the title).
Close the ‘Master Slides’ session button on the top right of the menu bar.
Go to your empty slide and paste.
