Abstract
A custom layout may be created that includes an arbitrary number of placeholders. Instead of having to use one of the predefined slide layouts available from a presentation program, a user may create their own set of custom layouts that may be used in zero or more presentations and applied to zero or more slides. A custom layout may include title placeholders, header/footer placeholders, as well as body placeholders. The custom layouts may contain both typed and un-typed placeholders. The placeholders on the custom layout may be positioned and formatted as desired by the user. A user may also create and include customized backgrounds on the custom layout. The custom layout may be edited in the same manner as a slide. The user may utilize the interface to copy, move, delete, and edit the custom layouts.
