Using Pre-defined Presentations

Impress comes with two pre-defined presentations that you can copy and use for your own presentation. Each presentation is formatted and contains pre-written content. You can select the presentation templates whenever you create a new presentation from a template using the AutoPilot.

Please follow the steps below in creating a pre-defined presentation:

• The second screen of the AutoPilot asks you to select a slide design. Impress offers two choices through a drop-down menu: Presentation backgrounds and Presentations. You must select the Presentations option to access the templates.

• Once you select a presentation, Impress displays the available templates for the selected option.

• If you select Presentations, followed by Introducing a New Product (see image above), you will create a similar presentation.
  • The pre-written content for the Introducing a New Product presentation is shown in the Outline View.

• If you select Presentations, click on Recommendation of a Strategy (see image above).

• Once you make a selection, Impress then displays the available templates for the selected option.
