00:03:14.730 --> 00:03:18.870 Well, with some layouts, the background graphics may be hidden. 00:03:18.870 --> 00:03:24.250 To show the graphics, all we need to do is uncheck the Hide Background Graphics box here. 00:03:24.250 --> 00:03:29.950 And our logo has reappeared, along with the other background graphics. 00:03:29.950 --> 00:03:33.370 Now let's fix the shape that's covering our logo. 00:03:33.370 --> 00:03:38.000 Most of our slides aren't using any of these layouts, so we won't bother with those. 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.530 But here we can see that several of our slides are using this layout, so this is the one 00:03:43.530 --> 00:03:46.069 we want to make changes to. 00:03:46.069 --> 00:03:48.090 Just select it. 00:03:48.090 --> 00:03:51.250 And I'm just going to move the shape down a little. 00:03:51.250 --> 00:03:56.300 If you want, you can also move, resize, or delete any of the place holders in this view. 00:03:56.300 --> 00:04:02.050 I'm going to move this placeholder a little bit so it's aligned with the arrow, and then 00:04:02.050 --> 00:04:07.010 I'm just going to resize this placeholder. 00:04:07.010 --> 00:04:12.930 Then just adjust any of the other Layout Slides if you need to... 00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:15.709 Let's try editing another Layout Slide. 00:04:15.709 --> 00:04:21.560 The Title and Caption layout isn't being used in my presentation yet, but I'd like to customize 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.250 it to create a new layout that I can use. 00:04:24.250 --> 00:04:28.620 I think I'd like to add a bold color block behind the title text to make it really stand 00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:29.620 out. 00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:38.801 I'll start by going to the Insert tab, then selecting the Shapes command, and then just 00:04:38.801 --> 00:04:43.300 drawing my shape right across the text here. 00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:53.259 Then to make the text visible again, I'll right click, and select Send To Back. 00:04:53.259 --> 00:05:00.790 To make the title easier to read, I'm going to make it white. 00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:05.039 And since we have a lot of red on this slide now, so I'm going to delete this shape by 00:05:05.039 --> 00:05:10.250 selecting it and pressing Delete on my keyboard. 00:05:10.250 --> 00:05:12.979 Now let's find the layout we just edited. 00:05:12.979 --> 00:05:16.360 Click Close Master View. 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:21.949 If I click the drop down arrow on the New Slide command, we can see the layout here. 00:05:21.949 --> 00:05:25.270 Just click to select it. 00:05:25.270 --> 00:05:28.919 Once you've gotten everything the way you want it, you may want to use the layouts in 00:05:28.919 --> 00:05:30.520 other projects. 00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:33.650 To do this you'll need to save the theme. 00:05:33.650 --> 00:05:41.379 Just go to the Design tab, click the drop down arrow in the Themes group, and click 00:05:41.379 --> 00:05:44.259 Save Current Theme. 00:05:44.259 --> 00:05:50.789 Then just give your theme a name and save it. 00:05:50.789 --> 00:05:54.419 Now you can select this theme whenever you want to use these layouts.
