Formatting
master slides (making changes to all your slides at once)
Every slideshow has a master slide which is the default template for all
new slides. If you made your background “apply to all” slides,
you have already altered your master slide. You can use this tool to edit
it further. Go to >View - Master - Slide Master, and make changes to
this slide like you would any other. For example, if you have set a dark
background, you can go here to make your text white instead of black by
default. Just select the text you want and go to >Format - Font. However,
keep in mind that any changes you make to this template will be applied
to every slide in your presentation. After editing the master slide, check
all your slides before continuing so you still have a chance to undo your
changes (Ctrl-Z).
Master slide view is very useful for people using pre-set design templates. (Maybe you chose the one with the annoying red line across the centre of every slide?) If you really hate something about your template, you can get rid of it here.
To return to your
presentation, go to >View - Normal.
