Modify Slide Masters and Slide Layouts:
Using the Slide Master is the fastest and easiest way to set up the appearance of all the
slides in a presentation.
The Slide Master controls all aspects of a slide’s appearance, including its background color,
font style, and any recurring text or pictures. Any changes you make to the Slide Master
automatically affect all the slides in the presentation; for example, adding a candy-striped
background to the Master adds a candy-striped background to every single one of your
slides.
1. Click the View tab on the Ribbon and click the Slide Master Button in the Master Views
group.
The Slide Master appears, as well as nine Layout Masters. To adjust only those slides that
use a certain layout—for example, the title slide—use a Layout Master.
2. Click the Slide Master or the appropriate Layout Master.
Each Master includes placeholders for text and objects, as well as three additional
placeholders at the bottom for the date, footer text, and slide number.
3. Make any desired changes to the Master, including:
• Adjusting the font type and size: Use the commands on the Home tab to format text
and paragraphs.
• Formatting the background: Use the commands on the Slide Master tab to adjust the
background, theme, or layout.
• Adding graphical objects: Use the commands on the Insert tab to insert pictures and
graphics such as a company logo.

• Inserting or removing placeholders: To remove a placeholder, select it and press
<Delete>. To insert a placeholder, click the Insert Placeholder list arrow in the Master
Layout group on the Slide Master tab and select a placeholder from the list.
