Design Ideas

Anonymous

My design ideas option is not working. I did the first two slides and it popped right up with the suggested layouts but after that nothing would come up. I tried going under Design and choosing Design Ideas manually and it says 'to get design ideas, limit your slide to just text and pictures', which is all that is on my slide. When I go back to the first two slides the Design Ideas pop right back up with more options, but anything after that just keeps saying 'Try this' and I am super frustrated. Thoughts?
