Adding a Cover Slide to a PowerPoint Presentation

Add a Cover Page to a presentation when the first page needs to be formatted differently from the other Slide Layouts in the Slide Master. A Cover Slide can be added to a template as an actual slide in the Normal View of PowerPoint. This Cover Slide can be formatted in any way. You can add images, background styles, text, and titles. When the template is used to generate the Financial Package, the Cover Slide is inserted as the first slide in the PowerPoint presentation with the formatting applied in the template (ignoring the Slide Master formatting). You can have more than a single Cover Slide. The Report Title slide will follow the Cover Slide(s).
