How to Use It

Present several related points in a clear sequence. Use bullets for independent points or numbered items for an ordered list.

Preview + source

Explore this layout

Present distinct actions or points that readers can scan in sequence.

All people, quotations and business figures in these examples are illustrative.

This prepared preview and the OPF describe the same example. Region outlines show measured allocation; toggling them does not change the slide.

Copy complete OPF

Inspect compact default-catalog references. Your host must register the matching catalog; source identifies it without fetching over the network. Copy always includes complete embedded records.

Regions, in reading order

This layout is one list of 2 regions, declared once. The list runs as a column; a split nests a list that runs the other way. Each size is a share of its parent’s width (row) or height (column).

Schematic of the list: each box is drawn in proportion to its size; an auto entry gets a fixed band. Dashed boxes are heading regions.

Column, stacked, top to bottom. No anchor is written on the layout: body regions start at the top unless they set their own.

  1. 1titleauto

    auto, the height the content needs

    Heading region: holds the slide’s title, with its tag and subtitle. It takes a size and no content rules.

  2. 2body100%

How automatic composition differs

Try dynamic composition

Explore how a text slide reflows as you change its content and shape. These examples use OPF’s shared composition rules; the copied document includes your choices.

Let the content find its spaceStart with the decision. State what the audience should understand or do.Show the evidence. Give each supporting idea enough space to be read.Make the next step clear. Keep the action specific and easy to remember.

All sample text fits within its content boxes.

Text

Text

Explain one idea in continuous prose. Use paragraphs or flowing blocks for detail that needs to be read in sequence.

Openers And Closers

Agenda

Set expectations by listing the parts of a talk. Longer agendas flow across columns while preserving their order.

/layouts/agenda

Openers And Closers

Agenda beside

Introduce a concise agenda with the title and introduction on one side and the parts of the talk beside them. Use Agenda for detailed entries that need the full slide width.

Groups Of Items

FAQ

Answer the questions an audience is likely to ask. Pair each question with a direct answer and group related questions together.

/layouts/faq

Groups Of Items

Chevrons

Show 1 to 8 stages that follow one another, each leading into the next. Write one short list entry per stage, in order; a word or two reads best inside a chevron.

/layouts/chevrons

Groups Of Items

Cycle

Show 2 to 8 steps that repeat, where the last leads back to the first (a review loop, a product lifecycle, a feedback cycle). Write one short list entry per step, in order; the first is drawn at the top and the rest clockwise, with an arrow from each to the next.
