Key Points

• You can apply different templates until you find the look that you like best. You can use one of the many templates that come with PowerPoint, or you can create your own from an existing presentation.

• A template has four masters: the Slide Master, the Title Master, the Handout Master, and the Notes Page Master. Changing the Slide Master changes the look of all the slides in the presentation.

• You can change the look of the text in a presentation by formatting the text placeholders on the masters. You can customize the bullets in a presentation for individual bullet points, or customize entire text objects.

• After you have set up a presentation to look the way you want, you can save it as a design template that you can apply to other presentations.
