Click on a button in the ribbon above to learn more about the functions of Smarter Slides.

Define your own settings in Smarter Slides.

Administration Admin

Be your own PowerPoint add-in administrator. Change Smarter Slides add-in language, customize color palette or create individual status tags.

In most cases working with a standard solution is quite comfortable. But when it comes to your own defined corporate identity, colors, fonts and working habits it can cause some additional work. Within the Smarter Slides settings, you can administrate our tool to your specific needs: Change the language, customize the color palette or select your standard fonts. Define your own slide status message and advanced template options (e.g. always adjust the templates to your custom colors). Just open the admin panel to customize your settings and make our Smarter Slides to your Smarter Slides.

If no slide is selected the function is disabled. Choose “New slide” to insert a template on a new inserted slide. If you have selected a slide within the slide preview (selection is marked red), the template will be inserted on a new slide after the currently selected slide. If no selection is made, the template will be inserted on a new slide as first slide.
Change to own colors
Check to automatically change the color of the template shapes to your own defined colors.

Adjust to placeholder size and position

Alternatively you can define your own custom placeholder settings as well.
Customize: Delete placeholder text
All template text shapes are filled with a placeholder. Check to automatically delete this placeholder after inserting a Smarter Template.
