A slide master is the top slide in a hierarchy of slides that stores information about the theme and slide layouts of a presentation, including the background, color, fonts, effects, placeholder sizes, and positioning.

Every presentation contains at least one slide master. The key benefit to modifying and using slide masters is that you can make universal style changes to every slide in your presentation, including ones added later to the presentation. . When you use a slide master, you save time because you don't have to type the same information on more than one slide. The slide master especially comes in handy when you have extremely long presentations with lots of slides.

Because slide masters affect the look of your entire presentation, when you create and edit a slide master or corresponding layouts, you work in Slide Master view.

Slide Master and Layouts

1. A slide master in Slide Master view

2. Slide layouts associated with the slide master above it

When you modify one or more of the layouts beneath a slide master, you are essentially modifying the slide master. Each slide layout, is set up differently, yet all layouts that are associated with a given slide master contain the same theme (color scheme, fonts, and effects).

The following image shows a single slide master with the Austin theme applied, and three supporting layouts. Notice how each of the supporting layouts shown portray a different version of the Austin theme — using the same color scheme, but in a different layout arrangement. Also, each layout provides text boxes and footers in different locations on the slide, and different font sizes in the various text boxes.

Slide master with 3 different layouts

Slide master with three different layouts   The feature of Slide Master is to make global changes to PowerPoint slides means, edit the slide master rather than each individual slide.The slide master helps in -1) changing font colors and styles for every slide2) add a clipart or picture to every slide3) add a footer or date to every slide
