Help with powerpoint slide templates?

Question

can someone help me pls, i want to put different templates on different slides but whenever i choose a background for one slide all the other slides adopt the same background. What do i do?

i want to put different 'Templates'(whirlpool, dad's tie, fireball etc etc) not backgrounds on seperate slides.

Answer 1

Right click on the slide - select change background - and select the image you want as a background (picture) or colors or patterns or even gradients. If you change the "background" in master and choose a different design in "slide design" then you will be selecting that background for the entire show.

below is from the help menu on powerpoint:
If you want to apply the change to selected slides only, select the slides in normal view. Otherwise, the change applies to all slides that follow the design template (design template: A file that contains the styles in a presentation, including the type and size of bullets and fonts; placeholder sizes and positions; background design and fill color schemes; and a slide master and optional title master.) of the currently selected slide.

On the Format menu, click Background.

Under Background fill, click the arrow below the image, and then do one of the following:
Select a color from the color scheme

Click one of the eight colors displayed.
Select a color outside the color scheme

Click More Colors.
Click the color you want on the Standard tab, or click the Custom tab to mix your own color, and then click OK.
Select a fill effect or picture

Click Fill Effects, and then do one of the following:
To use shading, click the Gradient tab, click a type under Colors, click a shading style, and then click OK.
To use a texture, click the Texture tab, click the texture you want or click Other Texture to select a file and insert it, then click OK.
To use a pattern, click the Pattern tab, select the pattern you want, select foreground and background colors, then click OK.
To use a picture, click the Picture tab, click Select Picture to find the picture file you want, click Insert, and then click OK.
Use the background fill from the slide master

Click Automatic.
Do one of the following:
If you want to apply the background to selected slides, click Apply.
If you want to apply the background to all slides, click Apply to All.

Good luck!
