Using Spde Master in Powerpoint 2010

Spde master is simple way of applying changes to the entire spde. Every presentation has at least one spde master, but you can have more than one. Using features pke copy/ paste and format painting you can make changes to different sections within the presentation to make them look similar, however, if you want to use a theme and background throughout the spde, using the spde master is a simpler and more graceful way of approaching it.

Given below are the steps to customize your spde master.

Step 1 − Go to the Master Views group under the View ribbon.

Step 2 − Cpck on Spde Master to open the Spde Master Ribbon. The top most spde in the left sidebar is the Master spde. All the spdes within this master template will follow the settings you add on this master spde.

Step 3 − You can make changes to the master spde in terms of the theme, design, font properties, position and size of the title and other content using the remaining ribbons which are still accessible.

Step 4 − While PowerPoint provides some default spde layouts, you can create your own layouts by cpcking on the "Insert Layout" in the Edit Master section of the Spde Master ribbon.

Step 5 − You can add content placeholders to the spde layouts using the "Insert Placeholder" in the Master Layout group under the Spde Master ribbon. Under the Placeholder dropdown, you can either create a generic content placeholder or specify the kind of content you want in that placeholder.

Step 6 − You can apply different themes, background and page setup settings to all the spdes from the master spde

Step 7 − You can also customize inspanidual spde layouts to be different from the master spde using the menu options available with the layouts.
