If in doubt, Microsoft has identified several templates that are optimized for accessibility. While this doesn't guarantee accessibility, it increases the likelihood of finding a good template. Add the word "accessible" to the search for templates that are tagged as "accessible" by the creator. You can search for a template by selecting File > New, and then describing the template in the Search field.

In addition to built-in and custom themes, there are thousands of templates available for download.

If the presentation will be viewed on a projector, the contrast and readability may need to be even more pronounced. Be sure to choose a theme with good contrast and with simple backgrounds. Some of these templates have low contrast between slide text and the slide background, and a few may also have busy backgrounds that can make text even more difficult to read. The Design tab contains many built-in Themes and color Variants that can be used to change the look of a presentation, as well as the ability to create custom themes Īny help would be v v gratefully received as I cannot find anything that quite seems to fit the bill.The first step in creating a PowerPoint presentation is choosing a slide theme or template. I don't need any messages to appear, I'm not looking to go through a presentation to find checked or unchecked tickboxes, I just want the user, NOT in Slideshow mode, to be able to tick and untick a blessed tick box - that's it. I'm convinced this is possible but with a bit of VBA and the tickbox from the Develop tab (without going into User Forms and the like) - am I right and can anyone help? If they change their mind and click it again, the tick mark would go. When they see a checkbox I'd like them to either just be able to ignore it altogether, or click it and if they do that, a tick mark appears. I'd like it done with VBA so there's nothing for the user to do specifically. I'm sure there must be VBA for this, to take a tickbox inserted into a slide from the Developer tab, and make it so that, without needing to be in Slideshow to be able to click the tickbox, you would be able to tick the checkbox!
