Example of Master Slide Application:
- A company that wants to display a logo in the bottom left corner of each slide can place the logo in Slide Master so that all slides will automatically display the logo without having to manually add them individually.
- If you have presentations with a variety of different themes (such as product presentations and annual reports), you can create multiple master slides and layouts for each theme, so you can easily switch between them.
Change the Font on All Slides at Once
To change the font across a PowerPoint slide, follow these steps:
1. Open Slide Master:
Access the View tab in the PowerPoint ribbon and select Slide Master. This will take you to a view where you can edit the layout and overall design of the slide.
2. Select the Master Slide:
In the left panel, select the main master slide (the topmost slide). Any changes you make here will be applied to all slides that use that layout.
3. Change the Font:
- Select the text you want to change the font for. You can select text in the placeholder or add a new placeholder if needed.
- After selecting the text, go to the Home tab, and in the Font section, select a new font type from the available dropdowns.
4. Implement the change:
After changing the font, all slides that use this layout will automatically update the font according to the changes you make in Slide Master.
5. Master Slide Cover:
When you’re done, click on Close Master View to return to the normal view. All slides in your presentation will now use the new font you’ve set.
