Caution

Any changes made to one slide when in Master View mode

will appear on

all

slides using this slide master. Always

make sure you close Master View and return to Normal

view before working on any of the presentation slides.

Select View > Normal from the menu bar, or clicking

Close Master View in the Master View toolbar to return to

the normal slide view.

The changes made to one of the slides in Normal view (for example,

changes to the bullet point style, the color of the title area, and so on)

will not be overridden by subsequent changes to the slide master.

There are cases, however, where it is desirable to revert a manually

modified element of the slide to the style defined in the slide master: to

do that, select that element and choose Format > Default

Formatting from the menu bar.

Sometimes you may want to try several of the available layouts to see

which one is more suitable for your contents. Applying a layout only

requires that you open the Layouts section of the Tasks pane and

double-click on the new layout. Alternatively you can right-click on the

desired layout thumbnail and select Apply to selected slide from the

pop-up menu.

Choosing and applying the background

Background can be applied to a number of elements in Impress: the

page, a default text area, a graphic object and so on. The procedures to

apply a background are always the same.

The following procedure is used to apply a background to the page.

1) To begin, do one of the following:

• Select Format > Page from the menu bar. On the Page Setup

dialog box, choose the

Background

tab.

• Make sure the Presentation Styles icon is selected in the

Styles and Formatting window (Figure 15), right-click

Background and select Modify from the pop-up menu. This

opens the Background dialog box.

2) Select the type of fill you want for your background from the five

choices, as shown in Figure 18: None, Color, Gradient, Hatching,

or Bitmap.
