#Office365Challenge How to change layout for all your slides in PowerPoint.

Now this might be something simple, but believe me if you don’t know – it’s frustrating.

When opening a new PowerPoint presentation, it opens with this slide by default. I would normally just select these text boxes, delete them and start adding content / shapes.

When I add a new slide, I will repeat the actions. In PowerPoint under the Home Tab, you’ll see layout. If you click on this dropdown select “Blank”. It will now apply the blank template to ALL pages.

And that’s how easy that was!!

Thanks Office. For making my life a little bit easier every single day. 🙂
Overview of my challenge: As an absolute lover of all things Microsoft, I’ve decided to undertake the challenge, of writing a blog every single day, for the next 365 days. Crazy, I know. And I’ll try my best, but if I cannot find something good to say about Office 365 and the Tools it includes for 365 days, I’m changing my profession. So let’s write this epic tale of “Around the Office in 365 Days”. My ode to Microsoft Office 365.
Keep in mind that these tips and tricks do not only apply to Office 365 – but where applicable, to the overall Microsoft Office Suite and SharePoint.
