00:00:06.970 --> 00:00:12.459
Each time you apply a new theme to your slides,
a slide master appears in the background.

00:00:12.459 --> 00:00:18.619
We can't see it right now, but the slide master
stores information about the theme such as

00:00:18.619 --> 00:00:25.619
font style, colors, effects, placeholder size,
text alignment, and more.

00:00:26.749 --> 00:00:33.749
So, what can you do with the slide master?
Well, imagine that you like this theme, but

00:00:34.489 --> 00:00:40.520
you want to change specific design elements.
Maybe you want your slide titles to be center

00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:47.250
aligned instead of left aligned or a square
bullet instead of a circle.

00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:52.370
Or maybe you want to add a line under each
slide title.

00:00:52.370 --> 00:00:58.390
How can you make changes like these without
changing each slide individually? The answer

00:00:58.390 --> 00:01:04.659
is simple - make the changes on the slide
master.

00:01:04.659 --> 00:01:10.689
You can use the slide master to change any
of these themes or you can select the Office

00:01:10.689 --> 00:01:14.720
theme and basically design your own slides
from scratch.

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:21.720
Since the Office theme has a default white
background and Calibri font, it's like having

00:01:21.820 --> 00:01:28.820
a blank canvas to work with.
Let's take a look at the slide master.

00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:38.310
Just select View on the Ribbon and click the
Slide Master command in the Presentation Views

00:01:38.310 --> 00:01:42.010
group.
This opens the slide master view so that you

00:01:42.010 --> 00:01:47.110
can change the design and layout of the master
slides.

00:01:47.110 --> 00:01:53.830
You'll see that after we clicked the command,
a new Slide Master tab appeared as the active

00:01:53.830 --> 00:02:00.830
tab on the Ribbon.
This look is similar to Normal view, but we

00:02:01.549 --> 00:02:08.549
aren't looking at our actual slides - we're
looking at the master slides.

00:02:08.549 --> 00:02:15.530
We have a pane on the left that includes thumbnail
images of the slides, and a main slide pane.

00:02:15.530 --> 00:02:21.090
The slide that is selected on the left is
the one that is displayed in the slide pane

00:02:21.090 --> 00:02:28.090
just like in Normal view.
This first slide that is selected is the slide

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:33.180
master.
All the slides beneath this one that are connected

00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:40.170
with brackets are supporting layouts.
If you hover over them, screen tips explain

00:02:40.170 --> 00:02:47.010
that they are masters for various layouts.
We can see that the Title and Content Layout

00:02:47.010 --> 00:02:52.620
is used by several slides in our presentation,
the Section Header layout is used by only

00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:59.620
two slides, and this Title Only Layout is
not used in our presentation.

00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:08.200
If you want to make a change to all the slides
in the presentation, you will edit the slide master.

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.530
Let's go ahead and do that.

00:03:10.530 --> 00:03:17.080
Do you remember that I said the default font
for the Office theme is Calibri? Let's change

00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:22.170
that for all the slides, and make some other
formatting changes.

00:03:22.170 --> 00:03:31.790
In Slide Master view, select the slide master.
Now, in the Edit Theme group, just click the

00:03:31.790 --> 00:03:37.040
Fonts command.
As I hover over each, a live preview of the

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:44.040
fonts will appear on the master slide.
I like this one that uses the Lucida font.

00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:53.550
Now I can see that it has changed on the slide
master and in all the layouts.

00:03:53.550 --> 00:03:57.840
Let's make another change to all our slides
that will be more noticeable.

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:04.480
I want to change the title of each slide so
that text is left- aligned and the font color

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:10.760
is orange.
First, I need to select the title on the slide

00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:14.849
master.
I can't make this change from the Slide Master

00:04:14.849 --> 00:04:20.500
tab like I could with the font theme change,
so I need to click the Home tab to access

00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:27.500
the commands I need.
When I do this, the slide master and layouts

00:04:27.810 --> 00:04:33.600
remain in the pane on the left because we
are still in Slide Master view even though

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:40.600
we aren't using that tab right now.
I can use the Font Color command in the Font

00:04:42.340 --> 00:04:52.490
group to change the title text to orange and
the alignment commands to left-align the title

00:04:52.490 --> 00:04:58.970
text on all the slides.
Once I make these changes on the Home tab,

00:04:58.970 --> 00:05:05.970
I can select the Slide Show view command and
see those changes on the slides.

00:05:06.130 --> 00:05:13.130
The font is different, and the titles are
orange and left-aligned.

00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:20.090
When you are ready, you can just press the
Esc key and return to the Slide Master tab.
