PowerPoint Tips and Tricks
More Design Options for Your PowerPoint Presentations
A new
feature of PowerPoint version 2002 is that you can use
multiple slide masters in a single presentation. The slide
master is an element of the design template that stores
information, including styles, placeholders, and color
schemes. With it, you can make global changes—such as
replacing a font style—across all the slides in your
presentation.
When using multiple slide masters, remember that if you want
to make a global change to your presentation, you need to
change each slide master.
To
insert a slide master:
1.
On the
View menu, point to Master, and then click
Slide Master.
2.
Do one
of the following:
§
To
insert a slide master that uses the default styles in
PowerPoint, on the Slide Master View toolbar, click
Insert New Slide Master.
§
To
insert a slide master by adding a new design template, on
the Formatting toolbar, click Design, point to
the design you want, click the arrow, and select one of the
options on the shortcut menu.
To
replace or add slide masters:
1.
On the
View menu, point to Master, and then click
Slide Master.
2.
On the
toolbar, click Design.
3.
If you
want to replace selected, rather than all, masters in the
presentation, select the masters in the thumbnails on the
left.
4.
In the
Slide Design task pane, point to the design template
you want, click the arrow, and then do one of the following:
§
To
replace selected masters with masters for the new design
template, click Replace Selected Designs.
§
To
replace all the current masters with masters for the new
design template, click Replace All Designs.
§
To add
a new design template and its masters to the presentation,
click Add Design.
Editor's Note:
All the design templates you're currently using appear in
the Slide Design task pane under Used in this
presentation. You can apply them to slides when you're
working in normal view.
