Convert your Indesign files into branded Microsoft Office templates

UpsideDown creates Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel templates that are customised to match your brand guidelines and design layouts. We aim to match your artwork as closely as possible and also make the final templates fully functional and user-friendly. The colour palette will be embedded and the relevant text styles set up so that users can quickly and easily apply the correct formatting.

Microsoft Word

We can make ‘smart’ editable templates by adding automation and other features to enhance the user experience and make the process of creating great looking on-brand documents quicker and easier. Some of the potential features are listed below, but you’d be amazed at what’s possible, so call us to discuss your wish list.

Letterheads including the ability to:

  • Turn the logo and branding elements on and off for printing on pre-printed letterhead paper.
  • Prompt for multiple locations or divisions within the one template and insert the appropriate logo and address, or even automatically change the size of the page and the spell check language for international locations.

Reports, Proposals, Tenders, EOI, Flyers including the ability to:

  • Select from multiple cover choices, with different images or graphical elements, or colour variations.
  • Insert different logos and apply different colour palettes for individual product ranges or related businesses, all within the one template.
  • Insert a landscape page within a portrait document or vice versa, or maybe even A3 pages.
  • Include automatic Table of Contents, Tables of Figures, Tables of Tables, and Appendices.
  • Add Accessibility to WCAG2.0 compliance standards.

Word Case Study: Telstra

When Telstra wanted new corporate templates they needed 6 versions of everything just so that they could incorporate all their new brand colours.

We combined all 6 colours into one easy to use template for each document type and therefore reduced the number of templates required from 72 down to 12.

Microsoft PowerPoint

We create custom branded templates for Microsoft PowerPoint.

  • Set up custom slide masters and font styles.
  • Implement your brand colours automatically every time you create a chart or draw a box.
  • Insert pictures inside a custom shape to make the images look more appealing.
  • Set up table styles (which is not possible as standard in PowerPoint).
  • Add animations and transitions.

PowerPoint Case Study: TAFE 

PowerPoint presentations don’t have to be boring.
Our template experts can create custom cut-out shapes to make it easy to insert images into complex designs.

Microsoft Excel

We create custom branded templates for Microsoft Excel.

  • Set up your default Excel workbook to automatically be on-brand with your colours and font styles, etc.
  • Create custom branded chart templates.
  • Develop automated templates to create professional looking reports from the raw data directly within Excel or by linking Excel and Word data.

Excel Case Study: ASX

ASX produce a monthly update on the Australian Grains market and wanted to send out a report that looked visually appealing whilst still retaining their raw data in Excel.

We set up a designed Report shell within the Excel workbook and automated the process of selecting any of the graphs from any of the worksheet tabs so they could customise the content appropriately every month.

How we create on-brand Microsoft Office templates for our clients

Briefing our template developers

We’d much rather talk to you in person than put you in a ticketing queue, so call us for a brief chat about your ideas and requirements. It’s also helpful to send us a PDF of your initial design concepts as early as possible. If you don’t have artwork at this stage, send us any current files being used as it will help us get an idea of the content structure and styles that may be necessary.
U

Analysing the Brief

We will review your designs and advise you of any technical issues in transforming them into Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or Excel. Our experienced team will suggest appropriate practical and functional solutions if necessary before you show your client so you don’t design something that’s not possible.
v

Getting a quote

We will then provide you with a quote, outlining what you need to provide to us and detailing timelines for completion of the project.

Supplying us the artwork

Once the client signs off your designs, simply send us the final packaged artwork in InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop.
