3. Slide Master
A slide master is the top slide in a hierarchy of
slides that stores information about the theme
and slide layouts of a presentation, including the
background, color, fonts, effects, placeholder
sizes, and positioning.
Every presentation contains at least one slide
master.
4. ADVANTAGES
The key benefit to modifying and using slide masters is
that you can make universal style changes to every slide
in your presentation, including ones added later to the
presentation.
When you use a slide master, you save time because you
don't have to type the same information on more than
one slide.
The slide master especially comes in handy when you
have extremely long presentations with lots of slides.
5. Because slide masters affect the look of your entire
presentation, when you create and edit a slide master or
corresponding layouts, you work in Slide Master View.
1. A slide master in Slide Master View
6. 2. Slide layouts associated with the slide master
When you modify one or more of the layouts
beneath a slide master, you are essentially
modifying the slide master. Each slide layout, is
set up differently, yet all layouts that are
associated with a given slide master contain
the same theme (color scheme, fonts, and
effects).
7. The following image on the
previous slide shows a single slide
master with the Flow theme
applied, and two (different) supporting
layouts. Notice how each of the two
layouts shown portray a different
version of the Flow theme — using the
same color scheme, but in a different
arrangement. Also, each layout provides
text boxes and footers in different
locations on the slide, and different font
sizes in the various text boxes.
8. When you want your presentation
to contain two or more different
styles or themes (such as
backgrounds, color
schemes, fonts, and effects), you
need to insert a slide master for
each different theme.
In the image that follows, there are
two slide masters as you would see
them in Slide Master view. Each
slide master has a different theme
applied to it.
9. Best practice for creating and
working with slide masters
It is a good idea to create a slide master
before you start to build individual slides, rather
than after. When you create the slide master
first, all of the slides that you add to your
presentation are based on that slide master and
the associated layouts. When you start making
changes, make them on the slide master.
10. Also, if you create a slide master after you
build individual slides, some of the items on the
slides may not conform to the slide master
design. You can override some of the slide
master customizations on individual slides by
using the background and text formatting
features, but others (such as footers and logos)
can be modified only in Slide Master view.
11. Create or customize a slide
master
1. Open a blank presentation, and then, on
the View tab, in the Master Views group, click Slide
Master.
12. 2. When you open Slide Master view, a blank slide master
with the default, associated layouts appears.
NOTE: In the slide thumbnail pane, the slide master is the larger slide
image, and the associated layouts are positioned beneath the slide master.
13. 3. To create a layout, or to customize an existing
layout, see Create a slide layout that meets your
needs.
On the View tab, in
the Master
Views group, click Slide
Master.
In the pane that contains
the slide masters and
layouts, locate and click the
layout that resembles the
closest match to what you
want in your custom layout.
14. 4. To add or modify placeholders in your
layouts:
Add one or more content 3. On the Slide Master tab, in

purpose, you will want to rename the layout. To do so, right-
click the slide layout thumbnail, click Rename Layout, type a
new name, and then click Rename.
6. On the Slide Master tab, in
the Close group, click Close Master View to return
to Normal view.

20. Add transitions between
slides
SLIDE TRANSITIONS
Slide transitions are the animation-like
effects that occur in Slide Show view when
you move from one slide to the next
during an on-screen presentation. You can
control the speed of each slide transition
effect, and you can also add sound.
22. STEP2. On the Transitions tab, select the More
button to reveal the all transition options in
the gallery.
23. STEP3. Select the transition you’d like to apply to your
slide. The transitions are divided into three
types…Subtle, Exciting, and Dynamic Content. You
can hover your mouse over each item in the gallery
to preview the transition with Live Preview.
24. STEP4. You can adjust many of the transitions
using Effect Options. The options will vary
depending on which transition you’ve selected.
25. STEP5. You can add
additional
customizations in
the Timing Group.
You can add sound
by selecting one of
the options in the
Sound dropdown
list
27. STEP7. Or choose to advance the slide On
Mouse Click (default) or automatically
after a certain period of time.
28. STEP8. If you’d like to apply one
transition to every slide in your
presentation, select the Apply To All
button.
29. STEP9. You can preview your transition by
clicking the Preview button on the Transitions
tab. A few clicks is all it takes to add a little
energy and excitement to an otherwise dry
presentation.

the ribbon.
32. Hover your
mouse over the
various color
schemes shown in
the drop down list.
The current choice
will be reflected on
the slide.
Click the mouse
when you find the
right color scheme.
33. Font Families are Part of the
Design Themes

your PowerPoint presentation, you can change
the font family to one of the many groupings
within PowerPoint 2010.
Click the Fonts button at the right end of the
design themes shown on the Design tab of the
ribbon.
34. Hover your mouse
over any of the font

when you have made
your selection. This
font family will be
applied to your
presentation.
35. PowerPoint Background Styles
of Design Themes

background on a plain PowerPoint
slide, you can do the same while using one
of the many design themes.
Click the Background Styles button on the
Design tab of the ribbon.
36. Hover your mouse
over any of the
background styles.

style will be reflected
on the slide for you to
evaluate.
Click the mouse
when you find a
background style that
you like.
37. Hide Background Graphics on
the Design Theme
Background Graphics Can Be Hidden
Sometimes you want to show your slides with no
background graphics. This is often the case for
printing purposes. The background graphics will
remain with the design theme, but can be hidden
from view.
38. Check the Hide
Background Graphics box
on the Design tab of the
ribbon.
The background
graphics will disappear
from your slides, but can
be turned back on at any
later time, by simply
removing the check mark
in the box.
