Add Custom layout in PowerPoint

Question

How do I add a custom layout in PowerPoint?

Answer

  1. Click Insert Layout
  2. Newly inserted custom layouts have four placeholders: the Title and three Footers (Date, Footer, and Slide Number). You can remove these placeholders by clearing the corresponding check boxes in the Master Layout group on the Slide Master tab
  3. To easily find and reuse your custom layout later, click the Rename button, type a name you can easily recognize in the Layout name box in the Rename Layout dialog box, and then click Rename

Now that you've created the custom layout with the logo, you can return to Normal view. To do this, on the Slide Master tab, in the Close group, click Close Master View.

Your custom layout is now available for use in this presentation. The easiest way to use your custom layout is to add a new slide to your presentation. On the Home tab, in the Slides group, click New Slide, and then click Tropical vacation layout.

If you wanted to use the custom layout only in this presentation, you could stop right here. But to use the custom layout for all of your other presentations as well, you would save it as a template.
