Ph_with_text(type = 'title', index=1,str = 'Summary') %>% Ph_with_text(type = 'ftr', str = myftr ) %>%ДЄdd_slide(layout = 'Title and Content', master = 'Office Theme') %>% WeвЂ™ll store the commentary for each slide in variables. Note that if you use a custom layout, you might find you have to inspect the layout_properties for that layout to figure out where exactly you want your content to go. In particular, weвЂ™ll want to include the title under title, the text under body 2 and the image in body 3. We can see the the places where we can stick content under the type and id variables. knitr::kable(layout_properties ( x = my_pres, layout = 'Title and Content', The layout_properties() function is helpful here. Since weвЂ™re going to use the Title and Content layout in most of our slides, itвЂ™s helpful to understand its structure. If we were to save this powerpoint deck here weвЂ™d have one slide: Ph_with_text(type = 'subTitle', str = 'A PowerPoint Summary of ') %>%

# Add some text to the subtitle (subTitle) Ph_with_text(type = 'ctrTitle', str = 'If housing inventory is so tight, why are so many homes vacant?') %>% my_pres%ДЄdd_slide(layout='Title Slide', master='Office Theme') %>% WeвЂ™ll use the pipe operator ( %>%) liberally here. I did that by changing the fonts from Calibri to Arial. The slides weвЂ™ll add will inherit most of their characteristics from the template, so you might want to modify them in the template.

If we were to go and modify the slide master of blank.pptx we could modify the available layouts. Knitr::kable(layout_summary(my_pres)) layout IвЂ™m calling mine blank.pptx.ДЄfter saving our template we can load the officer library, read in our powerpoint and take a look at the structure. Whatever the case may be, youвЂ™ll need to save a blank PowerPoint deck somewhere that you can read in. You might have a template from a company, univeristy or other place that youвЂ™d like to use. I modified the template to switch back from Calibri font to Arial. IвЂ™m starting with something very close to the default вЂњOffice ThemeвЂќ from PowerPoint.
