a document using the Austere cover design, I can probably tell you how to
get the design into PPT.
Jean said:It is a built-in feature in Word 2007. Open a word document - it can even
be
a blank page. Go to the "insert" tab and click on "Cover Page". It will
show
a list of various styles. I cannot find it in templates, but it is there
in
the cover page section.

Jean said:I would like to use the theme design Austere (cover design) in Word to
Powerpoint. Any idea of how I can transfer the layout and design to
Powerpoint?
Echo S said:Ah, thank you!
I'm a little embarrassed -- I've actually used this particular cover page
before! (Okay, so my excuse is it was during the beta. But sheesh -- you'd
think I'd remember!)
Anyway, this won't be one that's easy to transfer to PPT by simply copying
and pasting graphics. That red block and the text at the top is really a
table. If you click on the Home tab and choose the Show/Hide (looks like a
backwards black P in the Paragraph group) icon, you can see the little
4-headed table indicator just off the top left corner of the page. Click
that, and it will select all the table cells and the Table Tools Design and
Format tabs will become available on the Ribbon.
In PowerPoint, I'd probably just draw a rectangle at the top of the slide
master, draw the line separately, and add some placeholders for the
appropriate text boxes (year, company name, person's name). I'd add separate
placeholders near the bottom of the slide for the title and abstract text.
You could view the whole page in Word and do a screenshot, then paste that
onto the slide master and stretch to fit to use as a guide. But because
you're stretching it, I don't know that that's really necessary -- or a good
guide, for that matter!
Oh, you could paste the table from Word to PPT and use that as a guide for
your red rectangle and line and text placement. But you can't paste the
table on the PPT slide master and then actually type into it on the slide
itself. You could, though, paste the table directly onto the PPT slide and
type into it there.
That ending bracket on the title text could be tricky in PPT. I'd have to
play with it a little to figure out the best way to deal with that.
