    If template has multiple backgrounds, how do I access backgrounds other than the first?

    Default templates have the initial slide background defined in the master pages. To access other backgrounds, use the slide design tool:

    The template must be saved:

    • Select File ▸ Templates ▸ Save as Template.
      • Select the category (select My Templates to make it available only to the current user, or select an applicable template category to make it available to all users).
      • Give the new document template a name and click Save.
    • Select Slide ▸ Change Slide Master to open the Available Master Slides dialog.
    • Click Load.
    • Select the Category and Template you want to use.
    • Click OK.
    • The newly available template backgrounds are now visible in the Available Master Slides dialog. Choose the template style you want to use for the current slide.
    • Click OK.

    If this method seems too complex and you would prefer direct access to the backgrounds through the master slides, create a background template as described in How do I save a background that I made and use it in a different presentation?.
