Getting Started

Hi Jemma,

Slide masters provide a base look for any slide in your project. If you have some element that you want on every slide, or a particular look that you want on every slide, you would put that on a slide master. Then, when ever you create a new slide, you can select that master, and your slide will have all of the element that were created on that particular master.

Even if you don't realize it, you are always using a slide master. When you select new slide, and select a Basic Layout, you are in reality selecting a master slide to start from. You can also right-click on a slide at any time and select apply layout, selecting a different master slide.

If you want to modify master slides, or add new slides, go to the view tab, and you can select the Slide master to edit the master slides, or the Feedback Master to edit quiz feedback slides.

I hope this answers your question.

Thank you Dave - so ultimately this is a faster and more efficient way to setting up ones slides? 

Sure, it can be. If you have a particular layout that you use more than once. It's good to start with a master that has those particular elements. Masters can also help you to ensure that your look remains consistant across slides.
