Here's a template inspired by the notebook app in the iPad. Here's a demo of the notebook published in a course. If you want to edit the notebook, you can download the original file and make changes to the notebook. Then save them as images and reinsert into PPT course slide. Here's a tutorial that explains more.
Tom, I used this background for Fraud Awareness course for my company, that needs to be released Sept. 11, 2012. The master slides are too big for our company's bandwidth.
"bgd1|1.swf" is 3,887 KB and "bgd1|2.swf" is 3,630 KB and all swf files need to be under 2 MB. This is because we have remote sales offices and the rest of their applications supposedly won't run if someone is taking a course. Any ideas on how to help me? I looked at the individual components of the slide masters and they are teeny...so I can't really make the graphics any smaller. For example, the leather cover is 237 KB and the leather strap with snap is 44 KB. Can you explain how the master slides are turned into these huge SWF files what's on them is small? In the future can you put the published size of ... Expand

In the future can you put the published size of the master slide SWFs on these templates so I know not to waste my time with ones that are too big for our company's anemic bandwidth? I'm very frustrated at this point and think my only option is a white screen with black bullet points.
Hi --
One of my colleagues with Photoshop experience helped me out. What is on this template are .png images, which are too big for us. I had to group the images, save them as .jpgs (which are smaller and more compressed) and then import the .jpgs as backgrounds for my slide masters.
It would be nice in the future to have two versions of these templates - one with full .png images (for people to manipulate as needed) and a "low bandwidth" one with just the flat .jpg images. I know how to fix this stuff in the future, but it was a hard learning experience for me (I'm a trainer by background - not technical at all). It may save someone else some tears going forward. Just a thought!
