2) Would an additional slide make a particular point clearer? If so,

another slide needs to be created.

3) Would some custom animations help some of the slides?

(Advanced technique.)

4) Should some of the slides have a different slide transition than

others? The transition of those slides should be changed.

5) Do some of the slides seem unnecessary? Delete the affected slide

or slides after checking if they are indeed unnecessary.

Tip

If one or more slides seems to be unnecessary, hide the slide

or slides, and view the slide show a few more times to make

sure. To hide a slide, right-click the slide in the Slides pane

and select Hide Slide in the pop-up menu. Do not delete a

slide until you have done this, otherwise you may have to

create that slide again.

Once you have answered these and your own questions, you should

make the necessary changes. This is done most easily in the Slide

Sorter view. If you need one or more new slides, create them using the

steps listed in “Inserting additional slides” on page 186.

all refer to a slide which is used to

create other slides. This book uses the term

background color, graphic, or gradient; objects (such as logos,

decorative lines, and other graphics) in the background; headers and

footers; placement and size of text frames; and the formatting of text.

All of the characteristics of slide masters are controlled by

styles

. The

styles of any new slide you create are inherited from the slide master

from which it was created. In other words, the styles of the slide

master are available and applied to all slides created from that slide

master. Changing a style in a slide master results in changes to all the
