Canvas, colors, fonts
There are three main elements to a PowerPoint romania cell phone number template: the canvas, the color theme, and the font theme. Let’s start with the canvas.



The first decision to make is what size the slide will be in your PowerPoint template. It’s a fairly easy decision to make. We’d recommend 16:9 over the more traditional 4:3 as 16:9 fills screens better and gives you more space to play with.

To set the slide size, go to the Design tab then Slide Size. You can easily flip back and forth between Standard (4:3) and Widescreen (16:9). You can also select Custom Slide Size… which can be helpful if you’re using PowerPoint to create posters, social media posts, etc. For a presentation template, it’s best to stick to either 4:3 or 16:9.

Once you’ve chosen the slide size don’t change it! If you change slide size once your slides have layouts or content, it can cause all sorts of weird formatting and scaling problems. So, make a decision then stick to your guns! If you need a less standard slide size, read our guide on how to change the slide size in PowerPoint.
