Paul,

Do you just want to create a seperate file to print "covers"?

Landscape.... File menu > page setup > choose landscape slides

to get to the slide master

View menu > masters > slide master

Put everything on the slide master that you want to appear on all your pages.
The content on the slide master will appear "below/under" your real content. If you want a picture to appear on every
cover, put it on the slide master

Position the "place holders" (those click to add title things) where you want them.

View menu > normal.

Now you can edit this page without it affecting your master slide. If you want a picture on this cover but not all the
covers, then put the picture on the slide

Cheers

I have no clue how to create a checkerboard background.

A simple checkerboard could be created with "rectangles"

Along the bottom edge of powerpoint is a button marked "autoshapes".....under basic shapes is a rectangle.

Draw one. fill it black. Copy it. fill it white. repeat until you have enough of a checkboard

You could also import an image of a checkboard instead of building one
yourself. Try ...

Save a file to your computer then import it into PowerPoint.

Go to "Insert > Picture > From File"
