A slide master is the top slide in a hierarchy of slides – it 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. Think of the slide master as the “template” for your presentation. For example, instead of formatting text in the title placeholder each time you insert a new slide, you can build that formatting into the slide master. Once you have formatted the slide master, every new slide you insert into the presentation will contain the formats you applied in the master view.
A key benefit to modifying and using slide masters is that you can make universal style changes to every slide in your presentation. For example, after working on a presentation, you decide that you would like all of the text in a title placeholder to have a font color of blue instead of black – you only have to make that change once in the slide master. All slides created using that master will automatically be updated.
You can also create a presentation that contains one or more slide masters, save it as a PowerPoint Template file, and then use it to create other presentations.
