Why the Slide Master is Essential in PowerPoint

[@jackieo7113]

Really help me out! I got more grey due to my PPTs not cooperating than I care to admit!

Terrific👍 I didn't know about reset slide. I wish I knew it years ago!😭

[@thesoftwarepro]

I agree. Reset Slide is such a time-saver! I learned about it years ago after manually editing way too many slides 🤦

[@mohdimranyusof2889]

I learn many new things from your video, prob the best explaining about slide master. tq.

[@thesoftwarepro]

Happy to hear that!

Hi Dawn....... your voice is soooo tender and the presentation was so cool, thank you soo much

Great video but there is something about PowerPoint Masters that drives me crazy. If I go into the MAIN Master slide and on the very top right of the upper frame I put in a graphical image to represent a logo for example, then I change the fill color of that frame (making sure that the image is IN THE FRONT and the Background Fill is IN THE BACK, when I try to use the Master for say a new Title and Content Slide, the logo is behind the frame and will not show unless I make the frame smaller, thus eliminating the background color from around the logo. I've spend a lot of time trying to figure this out over the years, but NO LUCK! Do you have a clue for me?

This is an interesting question. I don't have any insights based on the description. If you haven't already done this, try creating the logo and graphics in the presentation. Once you're happy with the results, group the graphics first to keep them together and then copy and paste the logo/image into the slide master layout where you'd like to see the graphic.

Hi Dawn, Thank you very much for your wonderful presentation on Slide Master, its importance and how to use it. I really would appreciate your help (input) as a video tutorial. (I am a visual learner) All the following questions are for a situation where I got a presentation with 100 slides, 50 slides are under one slide master and the rest 50 have different fonts, colors and different formatting (all manual). These 50 slides followed a pattern and can be grouped together into 5 groups. Now how to bring the presentation to a good shape: 1)How do I create multiple slide masters (like 5) and assign a specific set of slides to a specific slide master (manually formatted slides without a master)? From your video a reset would work if I have one slide master, but how to do it once I have multiple slide masters. 2) Once I create the slide master and assign the slides to a slide master, how do I easily identify which slide belongs to which slide master? 3)The sequence of my slides for the presentation using slides in no particular order in terms of which slide master those slides belong. 4) The same set of 100 slides are used in 10 different presentations, but the slides are in a different order based on the region of presentation. When the slides are rearranged, are there any rules I need to follow like having the slides from one slide master in a particular order. 5) What are the rules of engagement between the slide master and the slides (things that I can do and can not do). One of them from your video tutorial, manual formatting over-rides the Master slide formatting. Any more rules to pay attention to. Finally, thank you very much for your very informative video on Slide master. Information on how to use multiple slide masters and how to bring a presentation under multiple slide master’s control is very sparse on KZbin or on the net. If it is there, I must search harder. Thank you very much for your help Ganti Murty

Excellent Presentation.

[@craigdees1177]

Great stuff. Thank you.

The reset button does not work with the custom font i have chosen, how do i properly add custom fonts?

[@lisablinn3264]

Excellent video. I was wondering if you know anything about how to create an accessible template that also includes design elements as all of my presentations look a little boring. I want my users to be able to access my information but the design looks boring.

[@thesoftwarepro]

Lisa, check out my PowerPoint video on the Designer. Super easy to add design elements: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4WZgJptgLyolZI

I don't have the slide master available in my PowerPoint. How do I enable it?

[@HedgeConnectFX]

Thanks

[@LwayNackasha]

thanks all the same

[@hannahwhitley002]

This is a really great video which is very informative and clear. However, you're making me feel out of breath! I feel like I need to take a full breath because of the constant shallow breath I can hear with every word :(

[@thesoftwarepro]

I appreciate the feedback as I continue to look for improvements to my audio setup. I believe that was specific to this video. Glad it was helpful!

[@chriss2595]

Maybe it's also worth to point out that one should NEVER delete the (standard) master slides.
