What is slide master in PowerPoint?
What can I do with slide master in PowerPoint?
Answer
Slide Master View is a behind-the-scenes view that lets you see and change placeholders and layouts. It's also the place where you can make across-the-board changes, such as adding a logo to all your slides.
Thumbnails of the layouts appear under the slide master because layouts, along with information such as theme colors, fonts, effects, and background styles, are part of the design shown in the slide master.
To open Slide Master View:
- Click the View tab
- In the Master Views group
- click Slide Master
Before you create your custom slide layout, let's spend a moment learning more about Slide Master View.
In Slide Master View, placeholders can contain only text, even though this text doesn't appear in your presentation and doesn't print. Rather, it is a custom prompt text, there to remind you of what to do in the placeholder. For example, when creating a presentation in Normal view, you may see Click to add text, which is the default custom prompt text for the text placeholder.
When you finish making your changes to the slide master and the layouts, you return to Normal view, where you can apply any layout, including custom layouts, to any slide.
