The second slide is an optional section header or divider slide, you can delete this slide if you wish, or move it to another position, or duplicate it.
Subsequent body slides in many different combinations are available for the remainder of your presentation.
These can include body pages with text only or pages with images and text. In the slide template there are several slides that include text and images. By clicking on the image placeholder you will be given the option to upload an image or to search the web.
Images are also available in the Brookes image library. You can search the site by choosing 'Search Assets'.
To change the details on a new door insert please use this template. The template contains two A5 size inserts. Simply delete the lower insert, and the grey dotted line, to create an A4 insert.
Please do not adjust the font or size of the text.
For older door plates, please continue to use the templates below, adjusting the size of the text as necessary.
Please adjust the font size on these templates to fit the amount of information you need to display, but do not change the font type or style. You may wish to consider adding your office hours, email address and telephone number - see examples below.
