Lesson 16: Using the Slide Master Show
/en/powerpoint2007/using-transitions/content/ IntroductionEach time you apply a new theme to your slides, a slide master appears in the background. It stores information on the theme, including font style, colors, effects, placeholder size, and text alignment. The slide master allows you to easily make changes to all slides or a specific slide layout. In this lesson, you will learn how to use the Slide Master view to apply changes to the slide master and supporting layouts. Using the slide masterDownload the example to work along with the video. The slide masterThe easiest way to make the same change to all slides or slides that use a specific layout is to change the slide master, also called the master slide. For example, let's say you like a theme but want to change a specific design element of that theme. You may want a different bullet style, slide titles that are center-aligned instead of left-aligned, or an accent line under each slide title. You can quickly make these changes and more by modifying the slide master. To view the slide master:
About Slide Master viewThe Slide Master view appears similar to Normal view; however, in Slide Master view master slides are displayed in the task pane rather than actual slides. The first thumbnail image in the task pane on the left is the slide master that controls all slides. If you want to make a change to all slides in a presentation, you can do so by changing this slide. Each slide below the slide master is a master slide for a supporting layout. For example, if you want to make a change to all slides that use a Title and Content layout, you can do so using the Title and Content layout master slide in the task pane. You can see which slides in the presentation use a specific layout. To see this information, hover over a layout and read the screen tip. The screen tip contains the slide numbers that use the layout. Making changes to all slidesAny change you can make to a slide in Normal view can be made to the slide master so the change will be reflected on all slides in the presentation. The following examples will show how you can make these changes and move from the Slide Master tab to other tabs on the Ribbon while the presentation remains in Slide Master view.

Making changes to specific layoutsIn addition to changing design elements on all slides, you can change design elements on slides that use a specific layout. For example, you can apply different formatting to the Title and Content or Section Header layouts. By customizing specific slide layouts, you have more control over the slides and the presentation as a whole. To change font color/formatting on slides with a specific layout:
