FORMATTING TEXT INPUT IN MASTER SLIDES

All the three types of master slides – Slide Master, Handout Master and Notes Master - give
you the opportunity to make changes to the text input in them. Let us apply
text formatting in each of the master slides.

Formatting text input in Slide Master

 On the View tab, in the Presentation Views group, click Slide Master.
The slide master with the other layouts opens at the left , in the
Slides/Outline pane. You will see thumbnail images of the slide master
and all the different slide layouts that are contained within the slide
master.
 Select the first layout, which is the Slide Master layout. It contents are
displayed in the main window.
 In the Slide Master tab, in the Edit Theme group, click Fonts - a menu
appears. You can select any of the theme fonts, but let us do something
else.
 Click Create New Theme Fonts. The Create New Fonts dialogue box
appears.
 In the Heading Fonts textbox, scroll to and select
Castellar, and in the Body Font, select Ariel. The
fonts you select are previewed at the textbox on the right
of the dialogue box.
 In the Name box, type a name for your new theme font.
 Click Save. Notice the difference to the Slide Master.
Click on each of the layouts under the Master Slide.

Master.

Insert Picture dialogue box opens. Select the picture you want
and then click Insert.

available slides. But, if you want different picture in different slides, just select the individual
slides and then insert the particular pictures.

You can use the same process to insert pictures, charts, clip art etc. in Slide Master and the
other two types of Master Slides.

EDITING PICTURES IN A MASTER SLIDE

When you click on the inserted picture the resize handlers appear. You can use them to resize
he picture. If you inserted the picture in Slide Master, you will only be able to resize the
picture in Slide Master.

You can also crop the inserted picture – to do that:

To make your presentation more interesting you can build it. Building is a term indicating

Custom animation pane opens at the left of the screen.
