Text Alignment on Master Slide

May 16, 2013

Hi Community!

I've looked all over the forums, but I'm having trouble:

I have all my text boxes set to left alignment in my master slides, but every time I insert a new slide they show up centered.

Any suggestions?

Welcome to the community, Ricky!

Have you double-checked to make sure you're selecting the Master slide that's assigned to that specific slide? You can double-check this by right-clicking the slide and selecting "Layout". 

If you are selecting the correct Master, can you try creating a new Master slide and see if the same formatting issues occur, please?

Thanks!

Hi, Thanks!

I've set it on all the layouts and I only have one master set.

I created a new Master that pops up with a new collection of layouts, and the problem is gone! But do I now need to create all my layouts again? I can't figure out where the center alignment might be hiding in my original set of layouts.... Is there a way to edit the default text alignment of the top master slide, ie all slides?

Good morning Ricky,

First, if you haven't already, you may want to read over the tutorials we have on Master slides:

Using Slide Masters

Usually, on the top level of the Master, you can modify the primary formatting. However, if your slides are tied to the other layouts, there may be different formatting (centered, left alignment, etc.). 

If you still have trouble with this, you're welcome to share the .STORY file. I'd be happy to take a look and see if there's a problem with alignment in the course.

Thanks!
