But what if you need something a little more customized? You can create a blank slide and manually insert text boxes, charts, and pictures, but there's no easy way to reuse the same layout later in the presentation. In Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, you can add custom layouts to the slide master, making your new layout available to you any time you need it. 1. Click the View tab, and then click Slide Master in the Presentation Views section. 2. Click Insert Layout, and then use the Insert Placeholder button to add content placeholders to your layout. 3. Right-click the layout and rename it to something easy to remember. 4. Click Close Master View to return to your presentation. 5. To apply your new layout, click the Layout list in the Slides section of the Home tab, and then click your layout. See More in the To-Do Bar The To-Do Bar is extremely flexible; you can customize it to your needs. Click View, click To-Do Bar, and then click Options. From here you can turn elements of the To-Do Bar on or off, and also select how many appointments you want to see. This is useful on busy days with multiple appointments, because you can see them all at a glance. • Tips and Tricks Web site • Microsoft Office Online • Help Privacy note: Microsoft respects your privacy and that of your friends.
