Slide Master View

Introduction
Slide Master view is a special feature in PowerPoint that allows you to quickly
customize the slides and slide layouts in your presentation. From here, you can edit
the slide master, which will affect every slide in the presentation. You can also
customize individual slide layouts, which will change any slides using those
layouts.
Let's say you find a theme you like but you don't like a few of the slide layouts.
You could use Slide Master view to modify the layouts to look exactly the way you
want.

Characteristics of Slide Master View


Whether you're making significant changes to your slides or just a few small
tweaks, Slide Master view can help you create a consistent, professional
presentation without a lot of effort. You could use Slide Master view to change just
about anything in your presentation, but here are some of its most common uses.

Modify backgrounds: Slide Master view makes it easy to customize the


background for all of your slides at the same time. For example, you could add a
watermark or logo to each slide in your presentation, or you could modify the
background graphics of an existing PowerPoint theme.
Rearrange placeholders: If you find that you often rearrange the placeholders on
each slide, you can save time by rearranging them in Slide Master view instead.
When you adjust one of the layouts in Slide Master view, all of the slides with that
layout will change.
Customize text formatting: Instead of changing the text color on each slide
individually, you could use the Slide Master to change the text color on all slides at
once.
Create unique slide layouts: If you want to create a presentation that looks
different from regular PowerPoint themes, you could use Slide Master view to
create your own layouts. Custom layouts can include your own background
graphics and placeholders.

If you want to change something on all slides of your presentation, you can edit the
Slide Master.
• Select the View tab, then click the Slide Master command.

• The presentation will switch to Slide Master view, and the Slide Master tab
will be selected on the Ribbon.

• In the left navigation pane, scroll up and select the first slide. This is the
slide master.

• Make the desired changes to the slide master.


• Move, resize, or delete slide objects as needed.

•
When you’re finished, click the Close Master View command on the Slide
Master tab.

• The change will appear on all slides of the presentation.


You can use Slide Master view to modify any slide layout in your presentation. It's
easy to make small tweaks like adjusting background graphics and more significant
changes like rearranging or deleting placeholders. Unlike the slide master, changes
to a slide layout will only be applied to slides using that layout in your
presentation.

To customize an existing slide layout:


• Navigate to Slide Master view.

• Locate and select the desired layout in the left navigation pane. You can
hover the mouse over each layout to see which slides are currently using that
layout in the presentation.
• In some layouts, the background graphics may be hidden. To show the
graphics, uncheck the box next to Hide Background Graphics.

• Add, move, or delete any objects as desired.

• If you want to change the arrangement of the placeholders, you can move,
resize, or delete any of them.

• When you're finished, click the Close Master View command on the Slide
Master tab.

• All slides using the layout will be updated.

Customizing text formatting:


You can also customize the text formatting from Slide Master view, including the
font, text size, color, and alignment. For example, if you wanted to change the font
for every title placeholder in your presentation, you could modify the master title
style on the slide master.
Each title placeholder is connected to the master title style on the slide master.
Create New Slide Layouts
One of the most powerful features of Slide Master view is the option to create new
slide layouts. This is an easy way to add interesting and unique slide layouts to an
existing theme. You could even use this feature to design an entirely new theme as
well.
To insert a new slide layout:
• Navigate to Slide Master view. From the Slide Master tab, click the Insert
Layout command.

• The new slide layout will appear.

• The layout will include title and footer placeholders by default. Click the
Title and Footers boxes in the Master Layout group to toggle these
placeholders on and off.
• You can now add background graphics, shapes, and pictures to the slide
layout. You can also move, adjust, and delete the existing placeholders.

• To add new placeholders, click the bottom half of the Insert Placeholder
command, then select the desired placeholder type.

• Click and drag to draw the placeholder on the slide.

To rename a custom layout:


When you're done designing your custom layout, you'll want to give it a unique
name so it will be easy to find.
• From Slide Master view, select the desired layout, then click the Rename
command.

• A dialog box will appear. Type the desired name, then click Rename.

To use a custom layout:


Once you've created a custom slide layout, it's easy to add a new slide with that
layout or apply it to an existing slide.

• If you're currently in Slide Master view, click the Close Master View
command on the Slide Master tab.

• From the Home tab, you can insert a new slide with the custom layout or
apply it to an existing slide.

• The custom slide layout will be applied.

Using custom layouts in other presentations


When you modify the slide master or slide layouts in Slide Master view, you're
actually creating a custom version of the current theme. If you want to apply the
theme to other presentations, you'll need to save it.

To save a theme:
From the Slide Master tab, click the Themes command, then select Save Current
Theme from the drop-down menu.
If you're not in Slide Master view, you can save the theme from the Design tab.
Just click the drop-down arrow in the Themes group, then select Save Current
Theme.
