Working With a Slide Master

To make global format changes to text or to add elements to the background, you can change the Slide Master. You can also use the Handout Master or the Notes Master to make global changes on the handouts or notes.

Please note: The major areas of changes can include the background, headlines, subheads and bullets.

1. In the Ribbon, under the View Tab, in the Presentation Views group, click on the Slide Master button.
2. Click one time in headline or bullet text to make changes.
3. If you want to add a picture on all slides, click on the Insert tab, under the Illustrations group. Select Picture, navigate to the file and select Insert. Keeping the graphic selected, you can move the graphic where you want it on the slide.
4. To exit the Slide Master tab, choose the Close Master View button in the Close group.
