Design templates in presentation software, such as Microsoft PowerPoint, can typically be applied at various points in the creation process. The specific options may vary depending on the software you are using, but generally, design templates can be applied in the following ways:


  1. When You Start: You can often choose a design template when you start a new presentation. This sets the overall look and feel for the entire presentation from the beginning.
  2. When You Add a New Slide: Many presentation programs allow you to apply design templates on a slide-by-slide basis. This means you can choose different templates for different slides within the same presentation.
  3. Before You Close the Program: Design templates can also be applied or changed at any point during the creation process, even before you close the program. You may access template options through the program's menu or design settings


If there is no VPN option available in the network menu when you click the network icon in your taskbar, you may need to use the "VPN Settings" or a similar option to configure and set up your VPN connection. The steps to access these settings can vary depending on the operating system you're using. Here are general instructions for different operating systems:

For Windows:

  1. Windows 10:
  • Open "Settings."
  • Go to "Network & Internet."
  • Select "VPN" from the left menu.
  • Click on "Add a VPN connection" and follow the prompts to set up your VPN connection.
  1. Windows 7:
  • Open the "Control Panel."
  • Navigate to "Network and Sharing Center."
  • Click on "Set up a new connection or network."
  • Choose "Connect to a workplace" and follow the prompts to set up your VPN connection.

For macOS:

  • macOS:Open "System Preferences."
  • Select "Network."
  • Click on the "+" button to add a new network connection.
  • Choose "VPN" as the interface, and then follow the instructions to configure your VPN connection.

For Linux (Ubuntu example):

  • Ubuntu (GNOME):Open "Settings."
  • Go to "Network."
  • Click on the "+" button to add a new connection.
  • Choose "VPN" and follow the instructions to set up your VPN connection.


Make sure you have the necessary information from your network administrator, such as the VPN server address, authentication details, and any other required settings.

If the specific option for VPN settings is not available, you may need to check with your system administrator or IT support for further assistance, as the availability and configuration of VPN settings can vary depending on the network setup and policies in place.
