Formatting and Design in Present Pro

Present Pro offers a range of formatting and design tools to help you customize the look and feel of your presentations.

Themes and Masters

Themes are predefined and user-defined design templates that drive the color of the presentation slides, visual panels, and the master pages. Masters (associated with your theme) determine the content of every page; that your corporate logo is always seen at the top-left of your slides or that all footers include a slide number and link to your website. By applying a given theme to your presentation, you can change its entire look and feel. Themes and their masters can be used to standardize presentation design across an organization or department.

Navigation Options

Arrow navigation is added to all presentations by default. You can change the navigation type to better suit the structure of your presentation. For instance, the default arrow navigation is useful when you want the presentation slides to be views in consecutive order. If you have a very large presentation with a lot of sections, you may prefer to use tab navigation, which lets users select any section or slide from a series of labeled tabs.

Content Formatting

You can customize various formatting options for visuals, slicers, and panels from the context-sensitive Formatting panel. The Formatting panel lets you customize the visual's colors, plotting area, slicers, legends, axes, titles, and more.

Slicers

Using the Formatting panel and the formatting selection tool, set styling preferences for the slicers to customize the slicer colors, title position, and title icon. This gives you the flexibility to apply your own styling, or make styling changes in accordance with your organization's branding.

Panel Settings

To improve the appearance and readability of your presentations and publications, you can change the formatting of the panels (or "frames") that contain each of your visuals. These formatting options determine the panel's general look and feel (shadow, title font, and so on) as well as the formatting of its title and subtitle.
