How to Copy a Presentation’s Design Template
It’s often quicker to copy a design template from a presentation than to find it in the list of PowerPoint templates.
Go to View in the presentation that contains the design template you want to copy and select Slide Master. Right-click the Slide Master in the Slide pane on the left side of the screen and select Copy. The Slide Master is the large thumbnail image at the top of the Slide pane. Some presentations contain more than one slide master. Go to View, select Switch Windows, and choose the presentation you want to paste the Slide Master into. If you don’t see the other PowerPoint presentation on this list, it means that the other file isn’t open. Open it now and return to this step to select it from the list. In the second presentation, go to View and select Slide Master to open the Slide Master. To insert the Slide Master from the other presentation, right-click on the Slide pane to the left, select Paste, and do one of the following: Choose Use Destination Theme to keep the theme colors, fonts, and effects of the presentation you are pasting to. Choose Keep Source Formatting to copy the theme colors, fonts, and effects of the template you are copying from. Select Close Master View.
