Change the Look of a Presentation by Changing the Book Template

The presentation book template references all of the additional files needed to create a presentation based on a specific look and feel. To change the look of a presentation all you need to do is change the book template and publish.

You can create a range of presentation themes using different backgrounds, style formatting, and bullets.

Tip: Create a folder for each "look" you create, this way you can keep all files specific to the new look together. For example, if you open the Author-it Square folder you'll find the files used to create the Author-it Square presentation theme. The files include background images, style sheets, and bullet images - everything specific to the Author-it Square style.

Each presentation theme should have its own set of style sheets and additional files such as background images (and maybe you'll decide to create new bullet images as well). When you create a new theme you'll also need to create a new book template. The book template includes the additional files needed for publishing to each theme. When you want to change the presentation theme of a slide show all you need to do is change the template the book is based on.
