Special Edition Using Microsoft® PowerPoint® 2000

Creating a Presentation Using a Design Template

If you don't need the assistance of the AutoContent Wizard to create sample slides and content for you, you can start with a design template and then add your own slides and content.

To create a presentation with a design template when you first start PowerPoint, follow these steps:

1. Select the Design Template option in the PowerPoint dialog box that displays when you first start PowerPoint. The New Presentation dialog box appears with the Design Templates tab selected, illustrated in Figure 2.18.
