Objective: 80% before moving to the next level.

2.1 · Recall

1. The logo must appear on 50 slides at the top right. How ?

Once on the main mask: all slides follow Paste it 50 times while floating In the notes Attached

What is repeated goes into the master: one modification, fifty updated slides.

2.1 · Application

2. Main mask vs. layout: who wears what?

Similar Mask = logo/fonts for everything; layout = local adjustment Layout = all None

Hierarchy: mask (all) → layouts (inherit) → slides (fill).

2.1 · Application

3. An old file has 6 masks, 4 of which are unused. What to do?

Keep them just in case Add a 7th Purge ghost masks without slides (mask pane) Nothing

Ghost masks weigh down and create surprises: we only keep what is useful.

2.2 · Application

4. How many provisions are in a good team model?

30, for all cases 1 only 100 8 (title, section, content, 2 contents, comparison, figure, quote, end)

Eight provisions cover 95% of needs; beyond that, it's DIY in disguise.

2.2 · Application

5. Where to store team .potx?

On an unknown local disk In shared versioned (SharePoint/OneDrive), pinned in File → New By email On a key

A model that cannot be found is a dead model: shared, versioned, pinned.

2.3 · Application

6. Five bulleted recommendations to present in 5 seconds. How ?

Read them one by one Put them in 10 pt Convert to SmartArt Process, 3 words per step, key step in accent Delete them

Convert (not redraw): the arrowed diagram can be read at a glance, the text remains editable.

2.3 · Application

7. What scheme for a continuous improvement loop?

A linear process A hierarchy A painting A cycle (the endless loop, not the timeline)

The diagram must tell the truth: cycle for the loop, process for time, hierarchy for the org.

2.4 · Recall

8. A table of 10 columns × 20 rows to project. What to do?

Reduce to 4×5 max titled message, the rest in the appendix Project it as is in 8 pt Put it in a blurry image Read it aloud

The projected table proves (small, sorted, titled); the exhaustive one lives in the annex.

2.4 · Application

9. Evolution over 4 quarters + market shares: what graphs?

Two 3D sectors An empty board Curve for evolution, bars to compare (sectors ≤ 5 shares) None

Bars = compare, curve = evolve, sectors = shares (5 max): the type carries the meaning.

2.5 · Judgment

10. Presentation of 40 slides without sections. First move?

Add animations Change theme Delete all Create 4-6 named sections in messages, evidence in appendices

Section (messages) + append (evidence): 40 slides become controllable.

2.3 · Judgment

11. An 8 step SmartArt in 8 pt. Verdict?

To split: 5 shapes max, texts of 3 words, otherwise two diagrams Very complete Add 3D Reduce to 6pt

Beyond 5 shapes, the diagram becomes an unreadable list again: split or move to the board.

2.2 · Judgment

12. A colleague creates 5 slides with your .potx and everything is in colors. Conclusion ?

A stroke of luck The model wins: 8 layouts tested in real use He redid everything by hand The model is useless

Testing the model involves use by a third party without design instructions: colors = validated.

2.1 · Recall

13. Amel wants the logo to be identical on all slides without copying it. Where to place it?

In each slide, in floating area In the speaker's notes In a hidden comment In the slide master

The mask carries the common elements: logo, footer, fonts and positions. The slides inherit the template.

2.4 · Judgment

14. To show a sales trend over twelve months, which visual is best suited?

A table of 48 lines A screenshot of the spreadsheet A line chart A bulleted list of numbers

The line chart shows the evolution over time; the table keeps the precise values for the appendix.

What's next?
