NOTE: I will try to be consistent with this nomenclature: Placeholders (on a Layout) generate containers on a slide. These Placeholders generate pre-formatted containers on a slide created from this Layout. This Layout contains four boxes with dotted outlines these are Placeholders.The objective of this Layout is to create a slide with a title and body text along with an image. When you select View/Slide Master, an array of slide “thumbnails” appears to the left: If you use presentation designs created by others, they should (but sometimes don’t) provide a Theme so that you can use their design easily.
If you create presentation designs for others, the Theme is the essential mechanism that makes it easy for your clients/colleagues to create slides and objects consistent with your design. I have preached at length about the importance of using a Theme – it helps assure a consistent presentation appearance and includes the presentation Color Scheme and fonts. BasicsĪ Slide Master is one element of a Theme. NOTE: The nomenclature around the Slide Master is not consistent – sometimes it (or the Master Layout) is called the Master Slide. This post will attempt to describe how to use this capability and why you should. The mechanism behind this is the Slide Master. (I can’t avoid the suspicion that this is how at least some of the millions of bad presentations in the world are made. Start a new PowerPoint presentation and a slide appears with two boxes one says “Click to Add Title” and the other says “Click to Add Subtitle.” Do what it says and then click on Insert/New Slide – a slide with a title and a bullet list appears! Fill in the blanks and do it again thirty or forty times and you’re done!
