Staff is currently targeting the November meeting for presentation, ahead of deadline

Slide to select from a number of template
layouts

would like to enable footers across slides.

in your presentation. Please use these
judiciously—it’s generally better to have

You are not expected to use these slides if they do not fit into your presentation.
6 If you would like to remove all of
these slides from your deck,
right-click the title of the section
(“Example Slides”) and select
“Remove Section and Slides”.
Finishing Up
• When you are done editing your slides, delete any
hidden or unused slides. Delete any draft
information (including in your slide notes) that
aren’t intended for sharing or presenting.
• You can reduce file size by going to File >
Compress Pictures. Select “HD (330 ppi)” or, if
you would like to reduce the size of your file further, “Print (220 ppi)”. These options will retain image
quality enough so that they still print clearly.
If your file is still too large and your deck will
primarily be viewed online, you can go down to
“On-screen (150 ppi)”. Going lower in picture
quality is not recommended.
7 “ppi” stands for “pixels per inch”
