If you want to change the appearance of each instance of a slide element, such as all the title fonts or all the bullet characters , you don't have to change every slide individually. Instead, you can change them all at once using a Master . PowerPoint updates the existing slides, and then applies your settings to any slides you add. Which master you open depends on what part of your presentation you want to change. The Slide Master controls all slides that do not use the Title Slide AutoLayout, while the Title Master controls the look of your title slide. View the Slide Master -
