- [Instructor] When we work with presentations,
we'll often use themes.
And there are times when we want to change certain things
about a theme.
And to do that, we can use what's called the master slide.
So we can find this in the View menu under Slide Master.
And when I click on this,
the whole view of the presentation changes.
Now, what this is showing me
is basically all the slides in the theme that I'm using.
So, here I have my title slide, and if I hover over this,
you could see the name of it, it's called Title Slide,
and it's used by slide number one.
This is Content and Layout,
and this is the Section Header,
and it's used by slide number two.
Now, if I click on any of these,
I can change that individual type of slide.
But if I want to, I can also go
and make global changes to all the slides.
So if I click up here,
this is what's called the Master Slide.
Now this allows me to change things globally
throughout the presentation.
So if I wanted to, I could select a font and change it,
change the color, and so on.
So if I wanted to, I could left click here,
select this box, and go over to Home
and change the font.
So as you can see,
I can change it to any font I want.
In this case, I'm just going to change it to Arial,
keep it simple.
I can also do the same here for the header.
So if I want to, I can change it to Arial.
I can change the size of that font.
I can make it bold if I want.
And notice how all of these fonts changed.
So if I clicked off Bold,
all of these slides change, if I turn it on,
you could see it ripple through,
and all of those fonts change.
Now when I'm done,
I can go back to View mode and just change to Normal.
And you'll see that the slides have changed.
Now, I can also do additional things
to change the look of the presentation.
So let's go back into the View menu,
click on Slide Master.
And in this case,
I want to add some images that will affect all
of the slides.
So I'm going to go down here to this section header,
and we're going to go ahead and add an image.
Now we can add images by using the Insert menu, Pictures,
and we're going to add a picture from this device,
and in our exercise files folders/assets,
we should have a couple of logos here.
So I'm going to select this one here,
the red and gray, Red 30 logo.
And when I select Insert, it just brings in that.
And if I left click on this,
you'll see a little box appears.
I can grab it, move it.
And if I want to, I can select the corners and scale it
if I want.
Now, once I have this image positioned the way that I want,
all I have to do is hit Close Master View.
And you'll see, now, that image is in the slide.
And if I were to create a new slide, again,
that will come across.
Now, the color of this did not come across
because I didn't change the color of the master slides.
So the color on this particular slide
is attached to that slide,
but the image itself, the Red 30 logo, is.
And so if I wanted to, I could go back to that master slide,
change the color as well.
But hopefully, you can see the power
of the master slide and how you can use it
to globally change and affect your presentations.
