MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2006Implementing cororate design in template
Hi, Does anyone have experience or advice on how to ensure proper use of our corporate design? more specifically: 1.) How to prevent users from moving or changing a textbox (our slide master has a slide with a "title" text box, and a "bullet pointed" text box. We'd like our users to be able to edit the text, but not change the font sizes, move these text boxes, etc.) 2.) How to define more than four default colors that are used whenever creating a chart. (I can define more than four on a local machine, but I'm looking for a solution that will work for the whole company when they use the ".pot" file. Any advice or links to articles would be appreciated. Thanks! Brad 1). Sorry, but you cannot lock the formatting in PowerPoint. 2). You can create multiple color schemes, then apply them to slides as needed. To aid in preventing others from being creative with colors, delete all other color schemes (although this doesn't prevent them from creating new colors).

A custom-written PowerPoint add-in can do what you're after, but for it to work, it'd need to be installed on all of your users' computers. You can't do any of this just through the template or via the tools PowerPoint itself offers "out of the box". > more specifically: > 1.)
