Back to basics: Editing the Master Slide
Have you ever wondered how people make their own templates in powerpoint so that all their presentations look consistent? Or have you ever just lost it because your boss told you to add your company logo on every slide? Well, that’s where the slide master comes in.
In this slide we added some arrows between the elements we are comparing and changed the style of the bullet points
The first thing you’ll notice is the left panel, which allows you to choose which type of slide you want to edit. You can choose a design for all your title slides or add an element to comparison slides, like this example.
First, let’s say we want to change the font we use throughout the whole presentation. Select the title and then click fonts and select the one you want to use. Now that font will be applied to all titles in your presentation and the default font each time you create a new slide. Instead of having to go change it slide by slide.
Now let’s say we want to add a different touch to my titles, let’s go to insert and image, and bring in a piece of paper. Send it to the background (by right clicking on it or using the arrange option) and maybe top it off with some sticky tape… And there you have it! Completely new and fresh looking titles for all your slides in about 2 minutes! When you finish save your changes with a name
and you can always go back to that template and use it in future presentations.
There are many options within the Slide Master, you can change the background, slide size, font, colors, footers… Just go in and experiment.
Until next time,
