Basic Information:

The Slide MasterBy changing the formatting (font style, font size, color, and/or position) of text or object placeholders on SlideMasters, all slides are automatically reformatted uniformly throughout the presentation. If, for example, youwanted to include clip art as your company’s logo or a saying or quote on all slides in your presentation, youwould include it on the Slide Master, and it will then appear on all slides of your presentation.

It controls the overall appearance of a slide – the background color, font style, or any reoccurring text orpictures. If you add, for example, the date, time, and page number to a slide master, the date, time, and pagenumber are added to every one of your slides. Anything you wish to delete from the slide master will bedeleted from all the slides as well.

Few terms that apply specifically to areas on the Slide Master are described below:

Viewing the Slide MasterThe Slide Master is accessed through the View menu. By selecting Master from this menu, a submenuappears.

After making the desired changes on the Slide Master, click on Slide view and display each slide in thepresentation to see their effects. You may need to make adjustments to the Slide Master after seeing theeffects on individual slides.

Adding Page Number, Date, and Time using Header and FooterSlides can have header and footer just like word documents. Slide header and footer often containinformation such as page number, the date, or the time. Since this is the type of information that wouldappear on every page, using the Slide Master is ideal.

Applying a Color SchemeColor Schemes are set coordinated colors you can use in your presentation. You can also use them for chartsand tables and to recolor pictures you add to slides. Each design template comes with a set of color schemes.It determines the background color, text, lines, shadows, and fill colors. However, an existing color schemecan also be modified to suit your tastes in colors.

Applying a Different BackgroundYou can change the appearance of your slide background by changing its color, shade, pattern, or texture toproduce a more dramatic effect. You can also use a picture as a slide background, but you can use only onetype of background on a slide master. For example — you can have a shaded background, a texturedbackground, or a picture as the background, but you can use only one of these on a single slide. When youchange the background, you can apply the change to only the current slide or to all the slides and the slidemaster.

Applying Design TemplatesDesign templates are files that contain the styles in a presentation, including the type and size of bullets andfonts; placeholder sizes and positions; background design and fill color schemes; and a slide master andoptional title master. This can help your presentation to be more stylish and somehow adds beauty whenpresenting.

Activity #7 Work with Templates and Master Slides

1. Open the file Activity5xxx.ppt.2. Access the View menu > Master > Slide Master. PowerPoint gives you access to your presentation’s

slide master.

Along with the view of slide master, the Slide Master View toolbar also becomes available. This toolbargives you easy access on editing your elements in the slide master.

Hold down and move it along with the other toolbar.

Also, you can notice two slides when in the slide master view. The first slide is the Layers slide masterand the second is the Layers title master. The latter becomes visible in the normal view when the layoutof the slide is title layout. In contrary, the layers slide master is being used by the other layouts. Let usfirst use the layers title master.

3. Change your first slide layout to Title Slide Layout so any modifications will be change on the layerstitle master will be applied in your title slide.
