Adding a Header and Footer

A header and footer appear on every slide. You can choose not to have them appear on the title slide. They often include information such as the presentation title, slide number, date, and name of the presenter. Use the masters to place header and footer information on your slides, handouts, or notes pages. Make sure your header and footer don't make your presentation look cluttered. Their default font size is usually small enough to minimize distraction, but you can experiment by changing their font size and placement to make sure.

Add a Header and Footer

Click the View menu, and then click Header And Footer.

Click the Slide or Notes And Handouts tab.

Enter or select the information you want to include on your slide or your notes and handouts.

Click Apply to apply your selections to the current slide, or click Apply To All to apply the selections to all slides.
