Open a new presentation and apply the second template to this presentation. 3. From the View menu, choose Master, then select Slide Master. 4. From the Edit menu choose Select All. 5. From the Edit menu, choose Copy. 6. From the View menu, choose Slide Sorter. 7. From the Format menu, choose Pick Up Color Scheme. 8. From the Window menu, select the presentation you saved in Step 1 and go to the slide on which to apply the second template. 9. From the Edit menu, choose Select All. Press DEL on the keyboard. 10.
