Controlling Slide Appearance with Masters


PP07S-1.3

If you want an object, such as a company logo or clip art, to appear on every slide in your presentation, place it on the Slide Master. All of the characteristics of the Slide Master (background color, text color, font, and font size) appear on every slide. However, if you want an object to appear on a certain slide type, place it on a slide layout (New!) in Slide Master view. The Slide Master tab contains several buttons to insert, delete, rename, duplicate, and preserve masters. You can create unique slides that don't follow the format of the masters. When you preserve a master, you protect (lock) it from being deleted. You can also arrange the placeholders the way you want them.

Include an Object on Every Slide or Only Specific Slides


Click the View tab, and then click the Slide Master button.

Add the objects you want to a slide master or slide layout, and then modify its size and placement.

  • Slide master. Includes object on every slide.

    Slide master is the top slide miniature in the left column.

  • Slide layout. Includes object only on the specific layout.

Click the Close Master View button on the Ribbon.
