[354c]Master slides coordinate the application of styles and formats to any number of slides in your presentation. For example, rather than manually placing copies of a logo on every slide in your presentation, a single master slide can be created on which the logo appears. Every slide associated with, or tracking, that master slide will then carry the logo.
[154c]Slide view windows contain three panes. Master slides appear in a slide view's master sorter. (Refer to Chapter 9 for more information about slide views.)
[146c]New slide views start out with one master. Any slides generated will be associated with this master and will adopt its appearance and formatting.
[127c]To select a master slide, click its minislide in the master sorter. This will make it visible (and editable) in the slide pane.
[27c]Where to Find Master Slides
[208c]To create a new master slide, first select an existing master, then choose New Topic from the Topic menu. This will create an additional unformatted master slide to the right of the master that you selected.
[90c]Pressing the Return key when a master slide is selected is the same as choosing New Topic.
[152c]You can also select a master slide and choose Duplicate from the Edit menu. This will create a copy of the master you selected, which you can then edit.
[242c]Finally, master slides can be copied and pasted from one slide view to another. First select the master to be copied, then choose Copy from the Edit menu. Click within the master pane of the new slide view and choose Paste from the Edit menu.
[237c]If a view has only one master slide, all of its slides will track that master. If you have created more than one master, you can have any number of slides tracking each master slide. But note that every slide has one and only one master.
[287c]Note that any time you select a slide in the slide sorter, its master is also selected (there is a black box around its border in the master sorter). This is a good way to tell which slides are tracking which master. To generate additional slides with the same format, simply hit return.
Creating Master Slides
[155c]To apply a master, first select the slides you want tracking it in the slide sorter. Then click the desired master slide, and click the Set Master button.
[466c]Clicking the Set Master button establishes tracking between a master slide and all of the selected slides. The master's title and body text formats, background colors, transitions, delay time, and graphics will all be propagated to the selected slides, which are now tracking it. Note that sounds cannot be attached to master slides, and therefore must beattached to individual slides (see Chapter 11: Playing Slide Shows to find out how to attach sounds to slides).
[178c]Items currently tracking with a master will appear locked on their slides. (When you select a locked item, its resize buttons appear as X's, rather than the usual solid squares.)
Tracking Master Slides
[498c]By unlocking an item on a slide (use the Unlock command in the Arrange menu), you are breaking the coordination with the master slide for that item alone. The tracking between individual objects on a slide and a master slide can be broken without breaking the coordination for the slide overall. You can move a logo on one slide for example, without changing its position on any other slide tracking the same master, and also without breaking the tracking of the other master slide characteristics.
[240c]In the slide sorter, a slide which contains any element for which tracking with a master has been broken will have an italicized slide number. To bring a slide back into coordination with a master, select it and click the Set Master button.
[18c] Breaking Tracking
[193c]For editing purposes, master slides behave like other slides but with a few important differences, which are explained below. For more information on editing slides in general, see Chapter 10.
[312c]A master slide contains no text beyond the words "Title Text" in its outline title box, and "Body Text" in its outline body box. This text is not editable. These lines of text are referred to as sample topics, which display the default font and formatting characteristics for each topic level of tracking slides.
[149c]To set the default formats for levels which are not currently displayed on the master slide, expand the last sample topic (double-click its handle).
[384c]To change the font or formatting on characteristics of these sample topics on the master slide, and thus on all of slides which track it, first click the sample topic level to select it. Then, make modifications as you would to any topic using the Font panel or Topic ruler. (See Chapter 8: Default Formats for more information about manipulating font and formatting characteristics.)
[184c]Default text formats on master slides can be overridden on individual slides simply by selecting the text on the slide that you want to edit and changing the format to suit your needs.
All other operations on the master slide (adding graphics, changing the background color, etc.) are the same as for any other slide, except that any changes you make will be propagated to all of the slides which are tracking that master.
