4. Under \<emph\>Templates\</emph\>, select a template with the design that you want to apply. To preview the template, click \<emph\>More\</emph\>, and then select the \<emph\>Preview \</emph\>box.

5. Click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>.

6. Do one of the following:

- To apply the slide design to all of the slides in your presentation, select the \<emph\>Exchange background page\</emph\> check box, and then click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>.

- To apply the slide design to the current slide only, clear the \<emph\>Exchange background page\</emph\> check box, and then click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>.
