Using the PowerPoint Slide Master
|
|
This PowerPoint Slide Master tutorial explains how to create a new PowerPoint Slide Master from an existing one and then apply it to a slide or presentation.
You can change the look of all of the slides in your presentation when you create a new PowerPoint Slide Master. Slide Masters also known as Master Slides act like templates and define how slides are formatted. This is a good way to ensure a consistent look and feel to your presentation throughout. |
The PowerPoint Slide Master
A PowerPoint slide master is an element of the design template that stores information about the template, including font styles, placeholder sizes and positions, background design, and color scheme information.
They also allow you to insert common elements on every slide, such as a common footer, slide number, copyright line, logo, or even pictures. If you want all of the slides in your presentation to use similar fonts, formatting, colors, and graphics, this is the best way to do this.
You may want to create a new Master instead of editing the existing one if you want to apply it only to selected slides or if you only plan to use it temporarily. You may also want to create a new Slide Master, and then apply it to the main Slide Master once you are sure of how you want it to look. This PowerPoint tutorial will show you how to accomplish that task.
