Placeholders are all the boxes for specific types of content on each slide. The slide theme is all of the stuff that’s unique to a set of slide layouts, including colors, fonts, effects or transitions and backgrounds. For instance, the Title layout is a type of Layout Master.PowerPoint calls individual slide templates “slide layouts,” and the full template is the “master slide layout.” This little tidbit comes in handy if you have ever to use documentation or help files. And every Master Slide can have several Layout Masters. These are subordinate to the Master Slide. These are controlled by another type of thematic slide called the Layout Master. Some of your slides will be designed for images, some for text, while some can have animation. Of course, some slides can differ in their layouts from one another. In the following sections we will see how to make changes to a slide master that will automatically reflect on the slides that follow it.

You can add another master slide with the Insert Slide Master button, or you can use the Insert Layout button to add a new layout under an existing Master. The controls are organized into specific groups with obvious functions:Įdit Master: Use this group to edit the Slide Master.
The Slide Master is the topmost slide in the hierarchy and looks like the blank content slide you get when you start a fresh presentation.
