Applying a slide master

In the Tasks Pane, be sure the Master Pages

section is showing (Figure 17).

To apply one of the slide masters to

all slides

in your presentation, click on it in the list.

To apply a different slide master to one or

selected slides

1) In the Slide Pane, select the slides you

want to change.

2) In the Tasks Pane, right-click on the slide

master you want to apply to the selected

slides, and click Apply to Selected

Slides on the pop-up menu.

Loading additional slide masters

Sometimes, in the same set of slides, you may

need to mix multiple slide masters that may

belong to different templates (the use of

templates is explained later in “Working with

templates” on page 46). For example, you may

need a completely different layout for the first

slide of the presentation, or you may want to add to your presentation

a slide from a different presentation (based on a template available on

the hard disk).

The Slide Design dialog box makes this possible. Access this dialog box

either from the menu bar (Format > Slide design) or from the pop-up

menu that appears when right-clicking on a slide in the Slides pane.

The main window in the dialog box shows the slide masters already

available for use. To add more:

1) Click the Load button.

2) Select in the new dialog box the template from which to load the

slide master. Click OK.

3) Click OK again to close the slide design dialog box.

The slide masters in the template you selected are now shown also in

the Master Pages section of the Tasks pane in the

Available for use

subsection.
