You may have noticed that PowerPoint rearranges the text on your slides and adds shapes to the backdrop when you choose a new theme. This is due to the slide layouts and background images that are already included with each theme. With the use of a function called Slide Master view, you may change these layouts. You’ll be able to quickly and easily adjust your complete slide presentation after you understand how to use Slide Master view. ( Microsoft Office 2016 )
Slide Master view: what is it?
You may easily change the slides and slide layouts in your presentation using the unique Slide Master view tool in PowerPoint. From there, you may make changes to the slide master, which will have an impact on all of the presentation’s slides. Additionally, you may change certain slide layouts, which will affect all slides that use that layouts.
Let’s imagine, for instance, that you locate a theme you like but a couple of the slide layouts don’t appeal to you. The layouts may be altered using the Slide Master view to appear precisely as you wanted.
Slide Master view is used
Slide Master view may assist you in quickly and easily creating a consistent, expert presentation, whether you’re making substantial or minor modifications to your slides. Here are some of the most frequent ways that you could alter your presentation using the Slide Master view.
- Change backgrounds: The Slide Master view makes it simple to change the backdrop of every slide at once. You might, for instance, add a logo or watermark to each slide in your presentation, or you could alter the backdrop images in an existing PowerPoint theme.
- Placeholder rearranging: If you discover that you frequently reorder the placeholders on each slide, you may save time by doing it in Slide Master view. In Slide Master view, if you modify one layout, it will change on all of the slides that it is applied to.
- Customize text formatting: You can use the Presentation Master to change the text color on all slides at once rather than having to alter it on each individual slide separately.
- Make your own slide layouts using the Slide Master view if you want to make a presentation that appears different from the default PowerPoint themes. You may add your own background images and placeholders to custom layouts.
To modify each and every slide:
You may edit the Slide Master to make changes to every slide in your presentation. We’ll add a logo to each slide in our example. Right-click the image below and save it to your computer to follow along with our example.
1.Click the Slide Master command after choosing the View tab.
2.The Slide Master tab on the Ribbon will be chosen, and the presentation will change to Slide Master view.
3.Scroll to the top of the left navigation window and choose the first slide. The slide master is here.
4.Change the slide master as you see fit. We’ll include a photo of the Mongibello logo in our example.
5.Slide items may be sized, moved, or removed as necessary. We’ll resize the logo in our example and position it in the bottom-right corner.
6.Click the Close Master View button on the Slide Master tab when you’re done.
7.All of the presentation’s slides will reflect the update.
It’s a good idea to revisit your presentation after making changes to the slide master to see how they effect each slide individually. It’s possible that some of your slides don’t appear quite properly. We’ll demonstrate how to correct this by personalizing individual slide layouts on the following page
Modifying slide designs
To change any slide layout in your presentation, utilize the Slide Master view. It’s simple to make little adjustments like changing the background images and bigger modifications like moving or removing placeholders. Changes to a slide layout, as opposed to the slide master, only affect the slides in your presentation that use that layout.
To alter the design of an existing slide:
In our illustration, the picture with caption layout has our recently added logo concealed beneath the picture. To accommodate the logo, we’ll modify this layout.
1.Go to Slide Master view by navigating.
2.Find and choose the desired layout using the navigation window on the left. To check which slides in the presentation are presently utilizing a certain layout, move your cursor over it.
3.The background visuals may be obscured in some layouts. Uncheck the option next to Hide Background Graphics to make the graphics visible.
4.You may add, move, or remove any things you like. We’ll remove the gray backdrop shape from our sample.
5.The placeholders can be moved, resized, or eliminated if you want to rearrange their placement. In this example, we’ll relocate the black bar, the photo placeholder, and the text placeholder to the right side.
6.Click the Close Master View button on the Slide Master tab when you’re done.
7.The layout will be changed on all slides that use it.
Changing the text formatting
From the Slide Master view, you may also change the font, text size, color, and alignment of the text. For instance, you could alter the master title style on the slide master if you wanted to change the font for each title placeholder in your presentation.
Each title placeholder is linked to the slide master’s master title style. Take a look at the slides, for instance, before altering the headline typeface.
Look at the same slides now that the title font has been modified.
Instead than altering each placeholder individually, you might alter the presentation’s theme typefaces. Choose the required typefaces by clicking the Fonts command under the Background group on the Slide Master tab
Making fresh slide layouts
The ability to design new slide layouts is one of Slide Master view’s most useful capabilities. This is a simple method for incorporating intriguing and distinctive slide layouts into an existing theme. As seen in the example below, you could even create a completely new theme using this capability.
Inserting a fresh slide layout
1.Go to Slide Master view by navigating. Click the Insert Layout button on the Slide Master tab.
2.There will be a new slide arrangement.
3.The default layout will include placeholders for the title and footer. Toggle these placeholders on and off by selecting the Title and Footers boxes in the Master Layout group.
4.The slide layout may now include backdrop graphics, forms, and images. The current placeholders can also be changed, deleted, and moved. We’ll shift the placeholder for the title in our example to the bottom-right corner. Additionally, the text is now aligned right rather than left.
5.Click the lower portion of the Insert Placeholder command, then choose the kind of placeholder you want to add. We’ll utilize the Picture placeholder in this illustration.
6.Draw the placeholder on the slide by clicking and dragging.
Changing a custom layout’s name:
When you’re through creating your custom layout, you should give it a distinctive name to make it simple to discover.
1.Choose the preferred layout in Slide Master view, then click the Rename command.
2.There will be a dialog box. Click Rename after entering the preferred name.
To employ a unique layout:
Once you’ve made a unique slide layout, adding a new slide using that layout or using it on an already existing slide is simple.
1.Click the Close Master View button on the Slide Master tab if you’re in the Slide Master view.
2.You may introduce a new slide with the custom layout or change an existing slide’s layout using the Home tab. In our example, we’ll use the Layout command and choose slide 6 to which to apply the new style.
3.The personalized slide arrangement will be used.
Using unique designs in other presentations
You’re essentially making your own version of the current theme when you alter the slide master or slide layouts in Slide Master view. You must save the theme if you intend to use it in subsequent presentations.
Save a theme as:
Click the Themes button on the Slide Master tab, then choose Save Current Theme from the drop-down menu.
It is possible to save the theme from the Design tab if you are not in Slide Master view. Just select Save Current Theme by clicking the drop-down arrow in the Themes category.
