I have made a PP slide that I want to use as the background in other slides.
It contains one box with no fill, outline set to whit, and one jpg graphic,
on a black background. How do I make the slide into a background?

Saving it as a template does not allow the graphics to show on new pages.

Thanks
Bob

Hi Bob

You need to add those elements to the master (view -> master -> slide
master). For more details there is a great course here:
