Today I learned how to take a file and transfer it to powerpoint. All I had to do was download it from the website, save it to my desktop, and then open a blank powerpoint and transfer the document to my current powerpoint. I also learned how to customize a design template and not just use the slide designs on the palette to the right of the screen. I learned how to select more than one title and apple a color scheme to it. All you have to do is hold down shift and pick whatever color you wish to use. Another thing I learned today was how to change the layout of a slide. For the most part that is basically everything I learned from today's two assignments.

Today I learned how to create a presentation using a design template, which is a file that contains the preprogrammed formatting available for a presentation. Desisgn templates can be applied to one slide or several slides, or whatever you choose to do. Design templates make it verey easy for the person producing the powerpoint because it's quick and easy, and it also makes the presentation look nicer. I also learned what a slide layout is, which is a particular combination of placeholders for text and/or graphical elements. I also learned what a color scheme is, and it consists of the eight colors used in the design of the slide. That basically sums up what I learned in today's book work.
