 Assignment Of Computer:
 Topic: Slide Master
 Submitted By: M MahtabShah
 Roll No: 79
 Section: CF-2
Slide Master:
 In Microsoft PowerPoint, the Slide Master is the top slide that controls all
information about the theme, layout, background, color, fonts, and positioning
of all slides. Using the Slide Master can be an easy way to adjust the look of an
existing theme or make overall changes to all slides in your presentation.
How to use Slide Master:
Opening Slide Master View
To switch to slide master view, navigate to the View tab on the toolbar, and select Slide Master.
How to use Slide Master:
 To create a new slide master, click the Insert Slide Master button on the toolbar,
or right-click anywhere in the left navigation pane and select Insert Slide
Master. A new slide master with several default layouts will be added at the
bottom.
How to use Slide Master:
 Designing Slide Masters and Layouts
 To design your slide masters and layouts, you can use the standard development
tools on the Home, Insert, and Animations tabs as well as the following features
found on the Slide Master tab on the toolbar:
How to use Slide Master:
 The Themes drop-down list allows you to apply a consistent design to your slide
master(s) and layouts.
 A theme consists of colors, fonts, and objects you've added to the slide master.
 We can also apply it only one slide by select this slide.
Why we use Slide Master:
 Why we use Slide Master:
 In the example above, you can see how easily you can save time by using the
PowerPoint slide master tool. I myself have saved countless amounts of hours.
 Especially when I am working on a big slide deck. I mainly use it to insert company
logos and footers which I know are going to be on every slide.
 Creating multiple different styles within the slide master then allows me to mix up my
slide deck without it looking the same all the time.
Why we use Slide Master:
 Not everybody knows how to use Power Points slide master, so when you want to
look certain objects into place without them being moved by anybody else.
 Slide master will do just that. I find this great when you want to make sure that a
company logo should remain in the same place on most slides, or you want header
fonts to be the same size.
 Not only can you use slide master to lock down objects and items, you can also use it
to set the font and colour theme you would like to be used throughout the
presentation.
 You can also set placeholders, this way you will know that anybody using your
template will know where text, images and objects should go when they are creating a
slide deck.
