--INTRODUCTION:

Thank you for purchasing this PresentationPro PowerPoint
background template. POT's are the standard PowerPoint 
template file format that is easy to use and will 
quickly update all your current presentation slide
backgrounds.



--FILE LOCATIONS:

If you accept the default location in the the installer
(EXE download only), this is where the file will be 
placed. If you choose to copy the files, this is where
they should go:

For Power Point 97/2000/2002(XP)/2003:
c:\program files\microsoft office\templates\



--TEMPLATES:

From PowerPoint, go to 'Format', 'Apply Design'
(XP/2002, 2003 users – go to 'Format' -> Slide Design 
click on browse… link at the bottom of the Design 
Template task pane) and choose your 'Templates' 
directory from the 'Look in' drop down box. 
There will be two files for each template:

    * A text/title design for screen presentations
    * A text/title design optimized for printing, 
      meaning the central part of the screen is white 
      to optimize clarity when printing (the print template 
      can also be used for screen presentations if that 
      particular look is desired).

For both designs, the slide background depends on the slide 
layout. To change a slide layout right click on the slide 
and choose Slide Layout, select the type of slide you wish 
to change to, and click Reapply. (The very first slide 
layout option is the only one that PowerPoint designates 
as a title slide and it is the only one that will give you 
the title slide background. Selecting any other slide layout 
will give you the text background.)



--ANIMATED TEMPLATES:

Animated templates contain .AVI files (movie files), which 
must be saved in the same location as your presentation. 
When you apply an animated template, you must copy the .AVI 
files from your templates directory and paste them in the 
directory where your presentation is saved. If you move your 
presentation, you must also move the .AVI files or your 
animation will not take place.



--3D CLIP ART:

From PowerPoint, go to 'Insert', 'Picture From File' and 
choose your 'Templates' directory from the 'Look in' drop 
down box. Double click the 3D Clip Art .TIF file. Once you 
have inserted the image in PowerPoint, you may move and 
resize the object.



--ANIMATED TITLES:
From PowerPoint, go to 'Insert', 'Movie From File' and 
choose your 'Templates' directory from the 'Look in' drop 
down box. Double click the Animated Title .AVI file. Once 
you have inserted the movie in PowerPoint, you may move and 
resize the object. Animated Titles can only be seen in 
slide show view.
