Change Design Template
Change applies to all slides in the presentation Choose from Task Pane (usually docked on right side of window) under Slide Design Make Choice (choices are previewed) Check for graphics interfering with text after change Generally preferred to apply to all instead of having different templates within same show 4/10/2019

Change Color Scheme Templates have alternative color schemes
Choose from Task Pane under Slide Design – Color Scheme Pick one of the standard alternatives and preview, apply or apply to all (OR build custom scheme, picking color for each kind of thing – titles, backgrounds, etc) (no longer available?)

Slide and Title Master Master is a special pseudo “slide” that controls format and placement of titles and text for all slides in presentation Each component (title slide, slides, notes pages, handout pages) has a corresponding master Any changes you make to the master apply to all slides or pages associated with that master Common to put footers (name, organization, copyright, date) on master (but also easy to Insert > Date and Time and put in date, page#, and name, and apply to all slides) 4/10/2019
21
Slide and Title Master (con)
You could put a graphic (e.g. company logo) on slide master and it would appear on every slide Each design template has its own masters, changing the design template loses changes you made to the master If you change format on individual slides, that change overrides the master (on that slide) 4/10/2019
