For your info and to facilitate usage
This template was built on a MS PowerPoint version for Apple PCs.
Should you find that the layout is not appropriate for your version of MS PowerPoint, please inform us at straligence@gmail.com
Our PowerPoint Warehouse Series use A4 as a standard page set up.
This is because they have been created for a “reporting” type of document, not as a projected presentation.
We recommend copy/pasting the content of each slide in your personal or corporate templates (instead of copy/pasting or importing
entire slides). To this purpose, the content of each slide has already been grouped. By doing so, you should be able to maintain the
original proportions of the content, and avoid deformations (e.g. circles becoming ovals).
