-: Showtime.
What have I told you that we will now together
create a PowerPoint template for ourselves
that we will later on use to create a presentation?
Let me start by a custom trick that I personally use
and almost nobody knows about this and doesn't use it.
You know that if you go to View within PowerPoint,
you have something like Guides.
you can insert guides by right-clicking Grid and Guides
and inserting a vertical and horizontal guide.
That's like standard, normal, regular procedure.
But what if we go one step further?
Go to View.
Go to Slide Master.
And I want you to click on the first master slide.
Let us do something for ourselves
and put one guide on the left side
and one guide on the right side.
And we will try to not go over those guides.
Right-click Grid and Guides, Add Vertical Guide
and right-click, maybe add another vertical guide.
I'll put one on the left side.
Negative 638, all right?
And positive 638 as well, all right.
Now, imagine that.
The presentation that I will create with you,
this business presentation,
we will try to not go over this line.
We will try to always leave this place empty
and this guide will help us tremendously.
Why?
Because we have put it on this Master slide.
I will put another guideline here
on the right and left side,
but maybe that a little bit later.
I'm closing the Master view.
Now, within PowerPoint,
I can of course move the guide that I created,
but the ones that are created on the Master slide
will be always there and I cannot click on them.
You can see the ones in the middle
were created in the slide master as well.
So, they will stay there.
But I cannot click on them, I cannot move them,
and every time I will want to make something pixel perfect,
I will enable and disable the guides.
You can see I put them here in my Quick Access Toolbar.
You can do that by going to View,
right-clicking on the guides
and selecting Add to Quick Access Toolbar.
I think it's a pretty convenient feature
to quickly take a look.
Okay, we are perfectly fine here.
Deselecting it and we are ready to create another slide.
You had just started to create your template
and you are starting to do it the right way
because we've already set some guidelines for us.
Go to PowerPoint, go to View Slide Master,
and try to create the guidelines on the left and right side.
