The NECO PowerPoint templates are designed to support the brand standards and identity of NECO. They include a variety of slides to accommodate different presentation needs, all packaged in a way that allows you to quickly copy slides into your own presentations.

NECO Master PowerPoint Template – Consolidated

The NECO Master PowerPoint Template – Consolidated brings together all individual branded slides into two comprehensive PowerPoint files: Standard (4:3) and Widescreen (16:9).

Each file contains approximately 60 slides, organized into sections such as:

• Cover Slides

• Section Dividers

• General Body Slides

• Speaker Slides

• Tables & Charts

• Closing Slides

Tips for Use

• • On the left-hand panel, sections may be collapsed. Expand or collapse them to quickly locate the type of slide you need.

  • The files are set to read-only, but slides can still be copied and pasted into your own presentations without issue

  • The ZIP folder also includes a small Excel file used to generate images for the pie chart templates. This is only needed if you wish to edit or recreate those charts.

• If you don’t need to edit pie charts, you can ignore this file

• Adjusting Slide Size: If you are creating a new presentation, you can match NECO’s aspect ratios by going to the Design tab 🠆 Slide Size, and choosing either 16:9 Widescreen or 4:3 Standard.

  • Important: If you copy a slide into a presentation and then change the slide size, the copied slide will not automatically reformat to the new size. Always select the correct aspect ratio first before pasting slides in.

• Software Requirements: These files are designed for recent versions of Microsoft PowerPoint (2016 or newer, Office 365). They may not display or function correctly in older versions (such as PowerPoint 2004)
