Note

The slide masters you have loaded will also be available the next

time you load the presentation. If you want to delete the unused

slide masters, click the corresponding checkbox in the Slide

Design dialog box. Due to a bug, if the slide master was not used

in the presentation, it is removed from the list of available slide

masters anyway.

Tip

To limit the size of the presentation file, you may want to

minimize the number of slide masters used.

Modifying a slide master

The following items can be changed on a slide master:

• Background (color, gradient, hatching, or bitmap)

• Background objects (for example, add a logo or decorative

graphics)

• Size, placement, and contents of header and footer elements to

appear on every slide

• Size and placement of default frames for slide titles and content

Refer to Figure 20 for a graphical representation of many of these

elements.

Before working on the slide master, make sure that the Styles and

Formatting window is open. See page 31 for instructions on doing this.

To select the slide master for modification:

1) Select View > Master > Slide Master from the menu bar. This

unlocks the properties of the slide master so you can edit it.

2) Click

Master Pages

in the Tasks pane. This gives you access to the

pre-packaged slide masters.

3) Click on the slide master you want to modify among the ones

available (Figure 17).

4) Make changes as described in this chapter, then click the Close

Master View icon on the Master View toolbar. Save the file

before continuing.
