When you want to bring a little consistency to the look of your organization's presentations or to enforce branding or graphic standards, PowerPoint doesn't help much. You'd like to restrict what users can do with it, but it's all about letting them do whatever they like.

You can supply them with templates and sample slides, but teaching users how to find the correct templates and to duplicate and edit sample slides represents a heavy training burden. And there's simply no way to restrict their use of clip art, improper color choices and so on.

PPTools has a better answer

It's not about locking the users out of PowerPoint's many features.
It's about making it simple for users to do what you want them to do.
So simple that they do it.
It's that simple.

Make it easy enough and they'll use

• Your templates
• Your slide designs
• Your approved graphics and charts
• Your colors

And all with little or no training.
