Typing new text and copying text
from another document
Template slide 4: smaller text using bullet points
• Over type text in the appropriate template.
• Copying and pasting text from another document will result
in changing the style of the typography and layout. This is
unavoidable as it is part of the Microsoft software.
• We appreciate that sometimes you will need to copy text
from another document into this template.
• Once you have pasted the existing text into the template,
you will need to change the formatting so that the typefaces,
colours, line spacing and alignment are consistent with the
rest of the template. Please see the ‘notes’ section at the
bottom of slide 1.
Inserting images
Template slide 5: text with bullet points

• There are three choices of templates

• Please use the template with the
relevant image size and positioning.
• To insert an image, please go to the
‘insert’ toolbar, select ‘picture’ and
find your image, highlight the image
and ‘insert’ into the slide.
• Resize the image and position to match
the example template.

Text boxes
Template slide 6: text with bullet points
and two images
• If a text box is deleted, please go to
another slide and copy the text box.
• To select a text box for copying, click
on the outer edge of the text box so
that the line goes solid (not dashed).
• Right click your mouse and select
‘copy’, then go back and ‘paste’ it into
the slide where the text box is missing
which should paste into the correct
position on the slide.
