3. A slide master is like a template. It stores formatting information like fonts, colours, backgrounds, styles, and effects. Using a slide master creates a consistent look because it applies your formatting to your entire presentation. Create a slide master before building individual slides. That way, if you decide to make a change halfway through, you can change the slide master and all of your slides will automatically be updated. You can include more than one slide master in a presentation. The Slide Master

7. Backgrounds are colours, pictures, or patterns that fill the slide behind your content. Using backgrounds can make your presentation stand out and grab your audience’s attention. Be mindful of how the slide background and content work together to enhance the overall visual appeal of the slide; the background should compliment but not compete with the message.

Do not close this presentation, as you will practise adding transitions and animations after reading the next several slides.

13. Slide transitions are animation-like effects that add life to your presentation. Transitions control how each slide replaces the previous one. You can set the effects and the transition speed and even add sound. Choose from a gallery of many different slide transitions, adding the same transition to an entire presentation or adding a different transition to each slide in your presentation.

Click the Apply to All button to apply the same transition to all slides. Apply Transition Effects to Slides

15. Animations are special effects, such as movement and sound, that will capture your audience’s attention, emphasize important information, and control the flow of the presentation. Animations can be added to text, graphics, pictures, and even connector lines. You can either use built-in animation effects or customize your own effects. Animations should be used carefully to enhance the presentation and strengthen the message; over-using animations can be distracting. Animations © 2010 Jupiterimages Corporation
