Summary:

The information below is taken from the PowerPoint version 2.00 Help file for the Slide Master.


 * 1) To see the Slide Master, choose Slide Master from the View menu.
 * 2) To get back to your slides when you’re through with the Slide Master, choose Slides from the View menu.

The Slide Master is where you design the format for all the slides. Use the tools at the left of the window to draw your master format. You can also copy artwork, such as your business logo, to the Slide Master. But remember, objects on the Slide Master cannot be selected on the slides themselves (except the slide title). Therefore, don’t draw, for instance, a text box on the Slide Master if you intend to enter text into it on the slides. The title on the Slide Master does not itself appear on the slides, but whenever you start a new slide, its title is created for you by copying the title from the Master.

You’ll know when the Slide Master is in view because the slide counter will read: Slide Master.
