This businesslike design is suitable for a broad range of e-learning projects. The colors are tied to PowerPoint’s built-in color schemes, so you can instantly customize the look by switching to a different scheme — or create your own scheme to reflect your corporate colors.
@Niki: The image placeholders on the content slides are objects on the slide master layout, and you can customize any of the master layouts as you like. Here's how: in PowerPoint, click View > Slide Master and find the layout you want to customize. In your case, what you can do is resize the existing 3 image placeholders to make room for a fourth one. Then select one of the existing image placeholders and use Ctrl+D on your keyboard to duplicate it. Now you'll have 4, and you can rearrange them as necessary. When you click Close Master View to go back to your slides, you can reapply the master to see the updated version. Just right-click on the gray area outside of your slide, choose Layout, and then select the newly customized layout. Here's a quick screencast showing these steps: jean... Expand

@Jeanette...
Thanks so much for your quick response. The explanation and screencast was just what I needed to achieve technical success. The rest of the day should be a "Snap".

Thank you Tom for the template. I have done the PowerPoint presentation by following your advices in your artcile. Now, by downloading the template, I can see how to improve more.

Jeannette, I love how you answered Nikki's question by creating a video showing the correct way to edit the Slide Master. As someone who is not formally ppt trained, I found this very helpful. I would not have never thought to update the Slide Master.
Hi.
This is awesome work. Today is my first day with Storyline and work like these are getting me so excited :)
I have a question: May I use this template as part of a client deliverable. That is, is it free to use even commercially?
An early reply would be much appreciated.
I LOVE this template and would like to use it, but I'm having a heck of a time getting the numbers to link to slides. I'm new to all this so I'm hoping you have some step by step documentation? :) Thanks so much in advance.
