What a Template Provides
A template is like a set of clothes in which you dress your presentation's content. Different templates can give very different overall impressions about the content, just like different outfits can make a person look different.
All templates provide formatting to the presentation, such as background, fonts, and color schemes. In addition, some templates also provide sample content on which to base a new presentation. Both kinds are stored in the same template format-with a POT extension. Let's take a look at these two ways of using templates individually.
Design Templates
A basic template is also known as a design template. Design templates do not provide sample content to the presentation-only formatting. A design template typically provides the following:
Background graphics, usually consistent for all slides
A font scheme consisting of one or more typefaces and sizes assigned to the various outline levels
Artwork for graphical bullet characters (in some templates)
Several color schemes-sets of colors chosen to work well together-from which to choose
Preset placements for text placeholder boxes that allow the text to interact gracefully with any background images or designs
Figure 2-1 shows a typical slide in a presentation created with a design template.

You can choose a design template when creating a new presentation, or you can apply a design template to a presentation later at any time. Changing the design template does not alter the content on the slides (but it may make the content move around a bit, depending on the design template's positioning of text placeholders).
Presentation Templates
There's also another kind of template, known as a presentation template. It not only contains all the formatting elements of a design template, but it also contains pre-made slides with sample content. Figure 2-2 shows a new presentation that has been created using a presentation template.

The AutoContent Wizard in PowerPoint employs presentation templates to help you build a new presentation with sample content. Let's call these "content templates" (because that's what Microsoft calls them). You can also apply a content template to an existing presentation-essentially treating it as if it were a design template-but you get only the formatting and design features, not the sample slides.
