Does anyone know how I can create a customized page layout? I've been reconfiguring a standard layout over and over again and it's getting a bit tiresome. Thanks in advance.
Are you trying to create a slide within a larger presentation with a different layout than the rest of the slides? If so, you may be able to just select to add a blank slide and build it from there, or if you are viewing the slide you want customized just right click on it, select layout, and choos a blank layout - then you can build your own custom slide. Another possibility is to create a variety of custom slides, save them as a storyline template, and import those into your presentation.
I guess what I mean to say is that I use the same slide layout in multiple presentations. It would be easier if I could create a new blank slide and select a custom layout from the layout menu. This would be much more efficient than having to recreate the same layout over and over. It would also be more efficient than importing a template slide and duplicating it. If there's no way to save a custom layout, I'll have to go with the template approach. Thanks.
Oh, well if you want to use the same layout each time just create a presentation with the basic layout you want (but no content) and save it as a template. Then when you're ready to start a new project select "open from template" and select your customized template. Then you'll have all your custom slides (so when you "add a slide" you can select your custom layout).
