Each new PowerPoint presentation comes with a slide master that determines the overall look and layout of the presentation. If you change the slide master’s fonts, bullets, or theme, PowerPoint applies those changes to every existing slide as well as every new slide you add. You can also add images and text to the slide master, and those elements display on every slide. Working with the slide master is a great way to ensure a consistent design for your presentation, and all PowerPoint gurus should be comfortable using the Slide Master view (choose View, Slide Master).
However, a PowerPoint presentation is also populated with a number of layout masters, which are master slides that control the look and configuration of the various layouts that you can apply to your slides. There’s a Title Slide Layout master for title slides, and Title and Content Layout for title and content slides, and so on. To see these layout masters, choose View, Slide Master. As you can see in Figure 9.9, the layout masters are located below the Slide Master in the Navigation pane. In Figure 1, the Title Slide Layout is selected.
TIP
PowerPoint can tell you which slides use a particular layout. Move the mouse pointer over a slide layout, and PowerPoint responds with a ScreenTip that shows the layout master name followed by the numbers of the slides that use the layout master:
Title and Content Layout: used by slide(s) 2-8, 10, 12
Figure 1 Each presentation comes with a number of layout masters that you can customize.
You can create a custom slide layout by either customizing an existing layout master or by creating a new layout master from scratch. Here are the steps to follow:
- Choose View, Slide Master if you’re not already in Slide Master view.
- Choose the master you want to customize:
- If you’re creating a slide master from scratch, click the layout master before which you want the new layout to display, and then choose Slide Master, Insert Layout.
- If you’re customizing an existing layout, click the layout master with which you want to work.
- Add a placeholder by choosing Slide Master, clicking the bottom half of the Insert Placeholder split button, clicking the type of placeholder you want, and then drawing the placeholder on the layout. Repeat for any other placeholders you want to include in the layout.
- To remove a placeholder, click its border to select it, and then press Delete. (To remove the entire footer from the layout, choose Slide Master and then click to deactiÂvate the Footers check box.)
- Set up any other options you want for the layout, including the theme, colors, fonts, background, images, static text, and so on.
- If you created a new layout master in step 2, choose Slide Master, Rename to open the Rename Layout dialog box, type a name in the Layout Name text box, and then click Rename.
- Choose Slide Master, Close Master View.
TIP
If you want your new custom layout to be similar to an existing layout, right-click the existing layout master and then click Duplicate Layout. PowerPoint creates a copy of the layout master, and you can then customize that copy.
NOTE
It’s okay to delete a placeholder from a layout master that you use for one or more slides.Any text that you added to that placeholder on those slides is preserved in a text box.
TIP
You’d think that deleting a footer placeholder from the Slide Master would also delete the same placeholder from all the layout masters, but that’s not the case. After you delete the footer placeÂholder from the Slide Master, you need to display each layout master, choose Slide Master, click Footer to deactivate it, and then click Footer again to activate it. Only then does PowerPoint remove the placeholder. If you later want to restore any deleted Slide Master placeholder, choose Slide Master,Master Layout,click to activate the placeholder’s check box,and then click OK.To then restore the placeholder on any layout master, click the master and then choose Slide Master, Footer.
It’s important to note that PowerPoint normally maintains certain links between slides and their layout masters. For example, there’s a link between a layout master’s Title placeholder and the Title placeholders on all the slides that use that layout. This means that any changes you make on the layout master are propagated via those links to the slides that use the layout. However, if you customize a slide, then the link to the layout master is broken. For example, if you change the font of a slide’s title and later change the font in the Title placeholder for the slide’s layout master, PowerPoint won’t apply the change to the slide’s title because the link is broken. If you want to restore the link, right-click the slide and then click Reset Slide.
TIP
PowerPoint also maintains links between the Slide Master and the layout masters. For example, if you change the formatting of the Title placeholder in the Slide Master, PowerPoint propagates that change to all the Title placeholders in the layout masters. Again, however, if you format a placeÂholder on a layout master, the link to the Slide Master is broken for that placeholder. Unfortunately, PowerPoint doesn’t have an equivalent of the Reset Slide command for restoring the link. Instead, display the Slide Master, copy the placeholder, display the layout master, delete the placeholder, and then paste the placeholder from the Slide Master.
