Editing the Slide Master

The Slide Master (Figure 12.18) contains the default formatting for your presentation as well as any background items you want to appear on each slide. Any changes you make on the Slide Master automatically affect all slides in your presentation. When you format the Master title and Master text, you are actually formatting all the titles and text in your presentation (except in embedded Word tables, charts, and org charts). Figure 12.19 is an example of a formatted Slide Master.
