there is one more thing I want to add to
all the slides and that is our company
logo if the slide master isn't selected
in the pane on the left go ahead and
select it since we want to insert our
company logo which is a picture we'll
just need to select the insert tab and
click the picture commands in the
illustrations group the insert picture
dialog box appears and we just need to
locate the picture file on our computer
once you do just select it and then
click insert the picture will appear on
the slide and you can just drag and drop
it to the location you wish I want it in
the lower right corner of every slide
now if we want to see our actual slides
we can view them in slideshow view or we
can return to normal view if you are
already on the slide master tab you can
just click the close the master view
command to return to normal view if this
tab isn't active you can just click the
normal view commands at the bottom of
the window now you can see that the logo
appears on each slide so now that you
know how to change all the slides using
the slide master what if you only want
to change elements on a specific layout
for example what if I want you to change
the fonts color and formatting on the
slides with the section header layout
we'll go back to the slide master view
by selecting the View tab and clicking
the slide master command and the pane on
the Left we'll select the section header
layouts and then select the text you
want to modify on the slide
to change the fonts formatting I'll need
to select the Home tab from here I can
use the fonts color command to change
the color and click the text shadow
command to add a shadow to the text on
the slides they use the section header
layout once you've made all the
formatting changes just select normal
view to close the master view and see
that the two slides with the section
heading layout slides 3 & 8 both have
the new formatting you can also insert a
shape for example I want to add a solid
accent line to the slides that use these
two contents layout to do this we'll
just go back to our slide master view
and select the two contents layouts in
the pane you can see that this layout is
used for slides 4 & 5 so my line will
appear on these two slides I want to
insert a line which is a shape so I'll
select the insert tab and then click the
shape command from the menu I'll select
this simple line and my cursor turns to
a crosshair now just click and drag to
insert to the line where you wish on the
slide release the button when the line
is a desired length just a little tip
sometimes it is difficult to make a
straight line if you press and hold the
shift key while you insert the line it
will be straight okay now we have
inserted a shape if you want to format
it's just make sure it is selected and
then select the format tab to access the
drawing tools
from here you can change the line
weights and color using this shape
outline command
you can even make it a dashed line will
select normal view and now we can see
the new accents line on the slides hmm I
think I'll add a few more lines under
these other titles there are many other
things you can do using the commands on
the slide master tab but being able to
make changes to the existing slide
master is a key task you may never have
a reason to use a slide master but it is
important for you to know that you can
modify an existing theme if there is
something you want to change practice
making these types of changes to the
slide master and then use these skills
to make other changes such as modifying
the bullets or inserting a footer on all
the slides as you practice you'll see
that the slide master can allow you to
customize your slides and save time
